Cascade bouquet for a Winter Wedding

Ellie and Joe had a wonderful winter wedding.  Ellie's personal style and elegance were really something to behold- from her dress to her flowers.  Here are some wonderful images from Stay Gold Photography.
 
 

Ellie wanted an asymmetrical cascade bouquet, but something a little more modern.  We used dusty lavender and ivory blooms to create this elegant draping bouquet for her.

 

Joe rocked the classic look with an ivory spray rose boutonniere.

 

 

White and ivory flowers were suited for the rest of the wedding party who sported green as their color of the day.

 

 

Best wishes to one of the cutest couples ever!! 

Vibrant & Natural Wedding & Reception at 9th Street Abbey

Lara and Nick had a beautiful wedding and reception at 9th Street Abbey.  They wanted a natural and "hand-picked" look for their flowers.  Here are a few shots from their day by L Photographie.

Vibrant coral, red, peach, and purple tones made up the bridal bouquet.  Ranunculus, roses, and anemones were the perfect blooms for Lara.

Lara wanted her bouquet to be an updated version of the traditional cascade bouquet.  We used loose greenery and multi-layered blooms to make this gorgeous mock-cascade.

The maids carried these orange and coral clutches full of tulips and ranunculus.

Stunning bride with her bouquet.

Nick wore a coral ranunculus bout.

Lovebirds.

The ceremony was an intimate affair at the Abbey.

The centerpieces had the same natural look with the addition of the formal silver compotes.

Best wishes to the bride and groom.  Designing your wedding flowers was such fun!  Thank you for choosing Sisters!

Trendy Cascade Bouquets??

Often times, we hear clients refer to "old-fashioned cascade bouquets" as something outdated and not for them.  Recently, we have had an abundance of clients requesting and sending pictures of bouquets that definitely have cascade bouquet characteristics, but with a modern flair. We like to call them mock cascades.  These bouquets do have draping blooms and greenery and are not tight and round.  They have flowers that are more forward-facing as opposed to the hand-tied bouquet look.  However, they are not the old-fashioned teardrop shape and exhibit more of a natural, asymmetrical look.  These mock cascades take all the good points of the popular hand-tied and more traditional cascades and fuse them into something romantic, textural, and modern.  Here are some examples of a few mock cascades we have done just this wedding season.

This example uses the popular blush and ivory tones with natural greenery and soft blooms to create a look that is very unique and romantic.

This bridal bouquet is bright and exciting!  It has many different types of smaller flowers to create a "just picked" look straight from the garden.

The shape of this cascade is more compact than the previous examples, but is still very natural and asymmetrical.  This bouquet has peonies in the background to add to it's lush beauty.

As we speak to more and more clients, we are seeing a trend towards a more natural feel and shape to bouquets and centerpieces.  We hope it continues as we really love this entire look and all that we can create within it!

Organic Texture Wedding

Lindsey and Dave were married at Lindsey's family's home on a beautiful day this past September. Lindsey wanted a very natural and organic look to the entire day. Here are some highlights from Stevie Photography.




Lindsey's bridal and bridesmaids' bouquets were very organic. Lindsey carried a very loose cascade bouquet with lots of textural elements including succulents. The girls carried a rounded, more compact version with similar organic touches.
























The ceremony and reception took place in the backyard. A decorated canopy framed the couple. Branches and lots of textural greenery and flowers were used as focal points.







The tented reception featured clusters of organic elements- branches, succulents and florals- on each guest table.


The weather cooperated and made a very memorable day for Lindsey and David. Best wishes to the couple!

Tropical Wedding at Norwood Hills Country Club

Memorial Day weekend, we had the pleasure of providing the flower designs for Katy and Craig's wedding. They had a vibrant, tropical color scheme with so many awesome details! Special thanks to Shayna from St. Louis Wedding Consultants for bringing together such a spectacular event.


All these beautiful images courtesy of L. Photographie.






Katy had two bouquets for her wedding day-- one we called the "going around town" bouquet and one very large cascade used only for the ceremony. Here are the shots of Katy with her "town" bouquet.

We loved these bridesmaids' bouquets! So much color to play off of the brightness of their dresses.

The ceremony had so many details--beautiful canopy of flowers, matching stationary and straw fans! The ceremony and reception were both held at Norwood Hills Country Club.

Here it is--the very large cascade we made for Katy. It was about 4 feet long and was filled with many different types of white orchids and tropical grasses. It was gorgeous and Katy carried it beautifully! Not an easy thing to do!

What a great friend to hold that large bouquet during the ceremony!

The reception had all the thought-out details of the ceremony........

Our wheat grass box was the perfect background for their placecards.

Two centerpieces decorated the guest tables. One was a low, very full cylinder of all the brightly colored tropical flowers.

The tall centerpieces were a leaf-wrapped cylinder with a tropical flower design towering on the top.

Exclusive Events and their wonderful troop did all the lighting, fabric draping and outdoor lounge areas. Hats off to them for a job well done!

The head table was decorated with low tropical arrangements, the bridesmaids' bouquets and the long cascading bridal bouquet from the ceremony.

All the best to Katy and Craig!!! It was so fun to be a part of your day!
