K & D Wedding Flowers!

My friend Kristen was so kind and referred me to a friend of hers to do their daughters wedding flowers. I was surprised since Kristen had never seen any of my work (I don't think?) so the pressure was on to make sure I didn't make her (and I!) look bad.

I love it when I meet a bride and hit it off right away with her family. They were the sweetest people and had great taste. They really were a dream to work with which makes my job FUN!!

The bride's colors were cream, black and eggplant. So we went with cream Vendela roses, enchantment lillies, Schwartz mini calla lillies, green hypericum berries and cream bouvardia.

These were K's (the bride) centerpieces. She just wanted similar bouquets to hers to lay in a vase on each table. Sadly my pictures are always taken in a hurry at the reception centers so I don't think the picture does this justice at all!

The bridal bouquet! Along with the other flowers, I put monkey tails, looped bear grass and rhinestone buttons in the bouquet for some extra sparkle. I love a little bling!

The matching toss bouquet. She used this at her ceremony site for outdoor pictures. Since it can get so hot here in the summer, it's nice to do this and switch to a new fresh bouquet for the reception. That way the tired looking one from the heat can be used elsewhere (in this case as the toss bouquet) and your flowers look perfect for the whole day!

I loved how the grooms boutonniere turned out - super cool again with the monkey tail!

I really love doing flowers but it's tricky sometimes to do them (especially with all three little ones at home and out of school) and I told my mom, I think that this is the last one I'm going to do for awhile.

10 minutes later I was giving out my phone number to a girl and her mom who were looking at the reception site! I'm crazy I know. I can't help it - I LOVE weddings and I LOVE flowers, so I am lucky I get to do this!
