Winter Wedding at Renaissance Grand

Check out the fantastic Statler Room at the Renaissance.......this was our first event in this newly restored space that the hotel is now offering for events. This reception featured the Mother-of-the-Bride's mercury glass containers with all different arrangements of white and blue flowers.




We used different types of flowers in each arrangement to make this event reflect the winter theme- hydrangea, lilies, tulips, amaryllis, roses, stock, and mums.

Some of the guest tables were long tables with seating on both sides. We lined up vases of white tulips and alternated with tall goblets with floating candles.

Other guest tables were large rectangular tables with seating all the way around.

The completed room was breathtaking. All the elements complimented each other so well in this venue. We really enjoyed being a part of this wedding!

Lovely Winter White Continued

Here are more pictures of Elizabeth and Timothy's wedding. We previously blogged about their bouquets from their December 11th wedding. The flowers were classic white and ivory. Elizabeth had a traditional cascade bouquet with winter greenery and crystals and the girls carried white amaryllis and cedar.

Best wishes to the bride and groom for a long and happy life together! It was a privilege to be a part of your special day!

Lovely Winter White

The design of this winter wedding was a lot of fun! Touches of winter flowers and greenery made everything come together for the season. Take a look at our pre-delivery snapshots.



The bridesmaids' bouquets were a winter flower called amaryllis with cedar and holly to accent.

The traditional bridal bouquet was cascade style with roses, mini callas, dendrobium orchids, stephanotis, crystals and winter greens.

Our very own Chelsea makes a great model! :)

We really enjoyed creating these classic winter white bouquets!

Winder Wedding Bouquet

For all you brides out there who are looking ahead to your winter weddings, here are two winter flowers that are available to you in your season and together in no other season. This bouquet has amaryllis and tulips- two very elegant and winter-y flowers that we LOVE together. Take a look........

Emily was our bride from this past January. She wanted a very simple, elegant look for her flowers. We suggested these two types of blooms to also give her flowers a seasonal feel without being too overdone.



The amaryllis have a very large bloom and come in white, red, or burgundy. They are available from approximately November through mid-March. Mixed with the tulips or standing alone, they are an awesome flower that most people don't think to use in their wedding, which makes them unique!

Awesome Amaryllis

Even though it might not seem obvious, winter is a great time for seasonal flowers! Here are some snapshots that we took of some amaryllis bouquets we did in late December and early January. Amaryllis is such a gorgeous flower and is only available in the winter months. Take a look:

This bridal bouquet is all bright red roses and amaryllis.

The bridesmaids' bouquets contrasted the bride's red flowers. They carried white amaryllis and ivory roses.

This bridal bouquets is already one of Shelly's favorites for 2009!! The white amaryllis are mixed with white tulips for a very wintery look!!

The bridesmaids carried an all white amaryllis bouquet.

For a special detail, the maid of honor carried all white tulips.

It just goes to show that the winter brides have great seasonal choices, too!!
