Lilly loved her namesake flower, so we were sure to include them in her … Read more

Her bridesmaids picked up where the fuchsia left off- tones of deep grape purple and citron green in scabiosa, dahlias, vanda orchids, baby hydrangea, and amnesia roses.

Holly’s bouquet was a soft, feminine spin on the color scheme- ruffly white nerines and ranunculus combine with blush garden roses and peonies with their golden … Read more

For the love of berry.

Posted on March 10, 2010 by charise

You are in for a treat! This was such a spectacular wedding, from the fresh berry summer palette we planned for a year, to the fun music playing in the Bride’s room as we delivered their bouquets.. Jessica’s bouquet blended her sweet softness of silvery dusty miller, white lisianthus, and fragrant freesia, with her desire for a more unusual, botanical feel of rare lady slipper paphiopedilum orchids. Sparks of color start flying with the bridesmaid bouquets- green hydrangea and cymbidium … Read more
