I loved this unique color combination of Pink & Gold

When I started working with Barbara to come up with a plan for her wedding flowers, I immediately fell in love with her unique color combination of soft pink and gold.  We looked at several images together to help me understand her vision and her overall style, and this is what we came up with... hope you love it too!

This is one of the bridesmaid's bouquets composed of peonies, carnations, and roses.  The vintage brooch, provided by the bride was the perfect finishing touch.  She selected a unique brooch for each of her 5 bridesmaids, including a frog, a pineapple, a lizard, a starfish, and one other that eludes me at the moment. 

This is one of the grandmother's corsages.  I used gold wire spiraling the length of the stems over top of the gold ribbon wrap for added pizzaz.

The bride selected wrist corsages for the mothers, composed of pale pink roses and ranunculus.  I created the gold swirl accent ... and was very excited about the way it turned out!

More tissue paper!!  I have used tissue paper in one way or another for the last three weddings I have done.  These looked beautiful lining both sides of the aisle.

This bride choose an all ivory rose bouquet.  I was amazed by the transformation of it once this spectacular vintage brooch was added... went from understated to glam!


This is one of the table centerpieces for the reception... continuing the soft pink theme with roses, carnations, peonies, and ranunculus!

Hot Pink Dendrobiums... something you don't see everyday!

This past weekend, I designed flowers for this beautiful blushing bride who had an ivory and hot pink wedding theme.  Dendrobiums do not come in this color naturally, so I used a floral spray paint to alter the color, and was thrilled by the result!  Spray paint can totally wreck flowers if you're not careful.  These turned out perfectly!  Enjoy the pics....


Hot Pink Dendrobiums and Ivory Roses with long Bear Grass made this cascade bouquet quite the showpiece!



A simple artificial hot pink gerber was added to the back of each chair for a punch of pink!

The mantle piece with white hydrangea, pink gerbera daisies and salal.

This is one of her centerpieces.  We used a spray of bear grass in each to coordinate with the grass used in her bouquet.

Another affordable creation made of tissue paper!  Would've cost four times as much if we had used real flowers!
