Professional Shots: Ashley and Tyler

Ashley and Tyler got married in early December. Ashley went with purples and greens which hi-lighted the winter element nicely without being specifically "Christmas." Her bouquet featured succulents, green hydrangea, picasso callas, ranunculus, seeded euc, stock, lisianthus, queen anne's lace, and cream hypericum. I used ornamental kales and cabbages on stage.

(Thanks to Chris Walker for the pictures!)

I love succulents for boutonnieres! They hold up really well (as do callas) and add a lot of texture.

Professional Shots: Rachel and Joe

I just got these photos from Rachel and Joe's late summer wedding. They're perfect right now when there's tons of snow outside! Rachel is a fantastic graphic designer (Orange Peal Design) and she loves orange! She had a very clear vision of what she wanted and it was tons of fun to design for her.

Chris Walker took all of these wonderful pictures.

Isn't her dress splendid!? It's a Vera Wang for David's Bridal.

Her cake was made by her mom and it is one of my all time favorites!

Happy New Year everyone!!! What a fun day to get married huh?! And what better colors than white and champagne!

I have to say that these are some of my favorite winter flowers yet!  The bride did a great job picking colors and varieties.  The purples and greens with succulents just play so well together!

I'm loving all these purples and whites! They look like winter without saying "Christmas."

Those are picasso callas in there - so gorgeous!

Christophersen/Crapuchettes Wedding

Here's the rest of Daniel's photos.  Annike wanted vibrant pinks and oranges to offset the teal of the bridesmaids dresses.  (Here's the inspiration board.)  I used zinnias, birds of paradise, stock, lisianthus, free spirit roses, and hypcericum.  Birds of Paradise are a wonderful flower!  So much character and  color.

I made a wand for the flower girl. I'm a fan or real flowers but for little girls, these are fantastic.  They can use them at the rehearsal, wave them around, drag them on the ground and they'll still look great!  Just make sure to use full headed flowers without a center (daffodils, lilies) that give them away as fake. Carnations, mums, and peonies work great.

Daniel Foucachon sent over some pictures of Annike and Jonathan's wedding! I haven't had a chance to go through all of them yet, but this one caught my eye. So sweet. These flowers were so fun to do - so vibrant! More to come!

Sneak Peek: Walser Wedding

Here's a few shots from the Walser wedding!  Jen wanted to keep things very simple and hi-light some fall tones with mainly roses.  Her husband has done a lot of missionary work in the Middle East so they incorporated a lot of that into their wedding with the linens, food, and colors.  To tie things together I spray painted all the vases gold and silver (using Rustoleum Metallic finish) and used some exotic flowers for the reception.  It was really fun to work with such rich tones and to get to use some unique flowers like kangaroo paw, pincushion protea, and ginger!  

I didn't get any great shots of the reception stuff (there's one below) but I'll pass on the professional shots when I get them!  Here's the inspiration board.

Real Weddings: Christy and Brian Professional Shots

Well, we're home!  And we did have a fantastic time in Portland, although we all caught a flu bug so I ended up staying in bed with the kids much of the time. But we got a chance to catch up with friends and family so it was a worthwhile trip!

Rosie sent over these pictures of Christy and Brian.  Pretty fun!

Her flowers featured: dahlias, zinnias, ranunculus, stock, roses, billy balls, delphinium, queen anne's lace, and maiden fern.  I ordered a bunch and we went to the cutting garden for some.

Rosie's got more pictures of the wedding on her blog here.

Here's a look at some of the shots done by Urban Rose Photography of Christy and Brian! More coming soon! (we're having a great week in Portland by the way!)

Sneak Peek: Christy's Bouquet

Christy was laid back, easy to work with and fun to design for!  She dyed her bridesmaids' dresses assorted shades of cornflower blue and wanted yellow, pink and orange flowers to match with some coming from the local cutting garden.

To go with her more casual bridesmaids dresses I wrapped the bouquets and boutonnieres in playful fabrics featuring blue for Christy and orange for the bridesmaids.  (This fabric is Blue Chrysanthemum from Rebekah Merkle's England Swings Collection.)

The profesional shots were done by Urban Rose Photography so they're bound to be good!  I'll show you them when I can!

Real Wedding: Ealy/Knight

Here's some of the professional shots from the LaMoreauxs! We've known them for years and I'm constantly amazed at how he can capture everyone's personality!

Lenora wanted all her flowers to come from our local cutting garden! She brought all her bridesmaids and we went out and cut and cut! Too fun! (There's eleven bridesmaids there in case you lose count! A party in itself!)

Congrats Ty and Lenora!
