Outdoor Wedding at Forest Park Golf Club

Here are some snapshots of an outdoor wedding that we recently helped design at Forest Park Golf Club. Liesl and RJ had both their ceremony and reception there this past July.



The flower colors for the wedding were fresh greens and pinks.





This bridal bouquet was very garden-y for the outdoor ceremony.





We set up our chuppah on the patio outside for the ceremony.


We used family tallises to decorate the chuppah. The July weather threatened to storm for the wedding, and did for a little while, but everything stayed nice just long enough the ceremony.



Candles were lit to honor the couple's passed relatives.







Thanks to the staff at Forest Park Golf Club for being awesome to work with, as always.
Best wishes to the bride and groom!!

Seasnoal Peonies, Sweet Pea, and Ranunculus

Earlier this year, we designed very spring-looking bouquets for one of our brides. We used seasonal flowers including peonies, ranunculus, and sweet pea for the bride and her maids. Here are some shots we took just before delivery.




This bridal bouquet showcased green hydrangea as a background, ivory roses, and white sweet pea. The sweet pea is the paper thin, clam-shaped flower seen all throughout the bouquet.









The bridesmaids carried these bouquets of white peonies and orange/coral ranunculus.



All three of these flowers come in many different colors and can be used in different ways. Ask about their availability for your wedding or event!

June Wedding for Tricia and Matt

This wedding was such a pleasure to be a part of! Tricia and her family were wonderful clients and the wedding palate was so much fun to work with! Here are some snapshots that we took of Tricia's bouquet which was a mixture of whites and ivories with hints of green including roses, peonies and stephanotis. Check out the monogrammed satin ribbon wrap!

















The following photos are by Browers. They show the gorgeous ceremony at the Shrine of St. Joseph and reception at the Chase.

The bridesmaids' flowers were chosen to help accentuate the color of the dresses and really give a pop of color.









































Sincere congratulations to Tricia & Matt and their families!

Fresh Yellow at the MAC

These snapshots are of the June wedding for Melissa and Kevin. Yellow and white were the main color in all the flowers. Take a look at the different shapes and textures throughout the wedding!!



This bridesmaid bouquet included gorgeous white stargazer lilies, green bells of Ireland, and bright yellow freesia. This specific mix of flowers gave the whole bouquet lots of interest and texture.








The same yellow and whites were carried through to the ceremony in these altar pieces....






....and into the aisle decor.








A happy bridesmaid with her bouquet.




This is the beautiful bride with her bright, fresh, citrus-y bouquet. It included yellow freesia, bells of Ireland, and ivory roses. So gorgeous for a summer day!





We can never resist any little cuties at a wedding!!


The reception at the MAC was filled with the same flowers and colors that were seen at the ceremony.

Our tall silver stands were filled with sprays of snapdragons, bells of Ireland, roses, spray roses, lilies, and filler.





The family tables had a low, mixed arrangement in the bride's silver containers.





What a heavenly event full of color and texture! Thanks to the bride and her family for being such a pleasure to work with!! Best wishes to the bride and groom!

Linear Bride and Bridesmaid Bouquets

When considering what shape of bouquets you may want for your wedding, don't forget about linear bouquets. Here are some examples of some linear bridal and bridesmaids bouquets. Lots of different tall, thin flowers are usually used in linear bouquets. In these snapshots, our bouquets from this past spring include mini callas and cymbidium orchids.




These shots show the bridesmaids' bouquets of mixed pink mini callas and lily grass with green orchids and greenery at the base.







The bride's bouquet was a mix of white orchids and wine mini calla lilies with lily grass and folded variegated hosta leaves at the base.











These linear bouquets have a much more clean, contemporary look versus gardeny and lush. One is not necessarily better than the other. It all just comes down to personal taste and the style of the wedding.

May Wedding at Cafe DeMenil

Nancy and Kent were married this past May at Cafe Demenil. Here are some shots of their flowers and ceremony taken by PhotoJennic Photography.





The bouquets were very garden-y mixes of gerbers and roses. The bridal bouquet (above) had white and ivories tucked in with stephanotis, roses, and waxflower filler. The bridesmaid bouquet (below) added some fun orange spray roses to the mix.








The bride and groom's children were a very special part of the ceremony.















Best wishes to the happy family!

Two Beautiful Brides, Two Beautiful Bouquets

Jenny and Katie were an absolute pleasure to work with. Here are some photos of their May wedding. Their colors were apple green and pink. We did very garden-y mixed bouquets for the ceremony and accented the same flowers and colors at the reception. Photos by Kelly Manno.








The bridal bouquets were similar,except for lily of the valley, which was added as a special touch in one of the bouquets. Both bouquets included bells of Ireland, calla lilies, freesia, and roses.










At the reception the "apple green" accent color literally transformed to apples. Fruit was added to the other wedding flowers to create fresh-looking, spring table arrangements.












Special thanks to Sabrina from Proposing Dreams for coordinating such a lovely event.


Best wishes to the happy couple!
