Hot Fun in the Summertime

This recent wedding of Mary Jospeh and John Swink at Coto de Caza Golf Club was beautifully captured by one of my favorite photographers, Michael Erdkemp of Memories by Michael. I have been working with Michael for many years and he never fails to amaze me with all the details he snaps of my floral creations!
Mary wanted bright "melon" colors to set off the fab coral toned bridesmaids dresses and kick off the start of summer. We chose dahlias, peonies, gloriosa lilies, roses, hypericum berries, anemones, Thai mokara orchids and amaranthus accents. As a surprise I created a floral chandelier which was hung over the grand head table!

This celebration was perfectly coordinated by Jill Watson of The Pampered Bride who we have also had the pleasure of working with for many years.

What's In A Name? Flowers!

Next time you need a fun idea to include into your wedding flower decor scheme consider using a monogram or initials to create a unique focal point of interest.

Wreaths that include an initial of your new last name or table runners with the first initial of the bride and groom's names are a great choice!

For an Asian or Zen themed wedding consider using the Chinese character "double happiness" hanging over your ceremony arch or attached to the front of your sweetheart table.

Using an initial or monogram on your aisle runner is a great way to personalize your ceremony.

It's A Nice Day For a White Wedding

This recent wedding, beautifully captured by Bleu Cotton Photography, features all white flowers accented with Tiffany blue ballroom up lights.

You can never go wrong when selecting all whites for your floral scheme. So many flower options are available all year that you won't have to worry about finding enough that's "in season" to make a statement. You may add any color accents to your invitations, table numbers, place cards, even bridesmaid dresses. If you are stuck with trying to choose between two accent colors you can use both. Such as red with turquoise accents or orange and green together..............the list goes on.

When in doubt go "White Wedding" it never goes out of style!!
