Some Sunshine Please...

The following are some images from a September wedding... another one that I never got to post because it was so insanely busy! September was my wildest month to date... and I thought that today's weather made for a fitting opportunity to add some images from this one! Below is the bride's lovely bouquet... magenta stock, pink ranunculus, hot pink roses, pink majolica spray roses, and a border of bright green hypericum berry.

These were the girls' bouquets... super charming, petite and whimsical with the yellow gerbs, green hypericum, and pink freesia, stock, ranunculus, and roses. Hand-tied with criss-crossed yellow and green ribbon handles for extra cuteness!!!

Below was one of the large, awesome arrangements that graced the head table at the reception. We filled my hourglass vases with limes and then topped them off with these stunning arrangements in pinks, yellows and greens to tie in with the wedding theme!

The ceremony was at Unity Village in Lee's Summit... the rose gardens there are stunning, and the seating is very charming... long white wooden benches for guests. We tied individual gerbera daisies to each bench, with streaming ribbons and berries as accents.

And finally, the huge arrangements that graced the "altar" so to speak... the area where the ceremony actually took place! The bride bought these awesome iron plant stands, and we placed large-scale arrangements in them for maximum effect, I think they turned out perfectly!

I have been promising to add fall pictures that I never had a chance to add when it was so busy during that season... for all of you girls planning for next fall, a little inspiration if you will!

The following are a couple pictures from Carly's fabulous October day, captured by one of my all-time fave photogs, Jessica with Epaga Foto. The final two pics are hers, of course... the rest (much crappier photography above) is mine! Check her out when you get a chance! Carly's bouquet was a mix of full-sized ivory roses, ivory majolika spray roses, and vibrant orange freesia as an accent. Her girls' bouquets accented their gorgeous chocolate gowns and cinnamon sashes with monochromatic, burnt orange blooms! So vibrant and gorgeous for a fall day... not to mention great colors for an auburn-haired bride!

A Winter Wedding...

Pin It Now!

Below are some pictures from Susan's awesome winter wedding, with a reception at The Uptown Theater in KC, MO... great windows in that place, I think that every time we go there! Enough chatter, check out the pics!

Above is Susan's beautiful bouquet... while she didn't originally ask for any pink, she had REALLY loved the idea of peonies for her bouquet... so when I found these blush pink ones on the market in DECEMBER, I just couldn't resist! Of course, I called and asked her permission first... I would never stray from a color scheme like that without asking the bride her opinion!

The girls' charming bouquets, above! A really pretty mix of purples, lavenders, soft blues, with accents of the green hypericum berries. Silver satin ribbon handle for a fun way to pull in their secondary color!

Above is the groom's bout... a white cymbidium orchid bloom, accented with green hypericum berry and tied with silver satin to accent his suit and the bride's bouquet!!!

A groomsman's bout, above. Lavender rose and green hypericum with a satin ribbon wrap.

And then their lovely centerpieces... they rented my square vases, which we tied with a silver satin ribbon, knotted for a charming effect. These featured huge soft blue hydrangeas, blue agapanthus (also called african lily in old garden language!) and soft silvery-blue seeded eucalyptus foliage. Below are cylinder vases that I wrapped in various silver patterned vellum papers from Paper Source... to give a really gorgeous hurricane effect. I also tied these with silver satin, and we filled them with water and a floating candle for a really romantic glow! More of the blue and lavender in the petals that I grouped all around them for extra romance!

This was a lovely winter wedding... and such a great couple! Susan was so flexible with me... she really just wanted her flowers to be beautiful, and I think they definitely turned out that way!
