Jamie and Dwayne's wedding - 8-7-10


Jamie carries a hand-tied bouquet of white oriental lilies, Vendela roses, callas and Limelight hydrangea. A lush pearl treatment accents the handle of this fragrant bouquet. She looks stunning! The weather was perfect too.

Bridesmaids in latte


Jamie's bridesmaids wore latte dresses with chocolate brown sashes. They carried calla bouquets accented with bear grass, variegated flax foiliage and wire beading.

Candelabra Arrangements

The church candelabra arrangements were designed to reflect the pew arrangements below.

Problem solved!


Our other two designs were calla encircled spheres and carnations and dendrobiums accented with draping pearls.

The new venue had many more tables, so we interspersed the arrangements for interest and put two on family tables! Even though things were a bit crazy at the last minute with a new venue, it worked out just fine in the end.

The reception venue was changed the day before!


Originally we planned 3 different spheres to go on each of 14 long reception tables. In other words, 3 per table for a total of 42 spheres. When we found out on Friday afternoon that the reception venue was changed, we really had to come up with a different game plan!

These spheres featured white dendrobium orchids and galax leaves atop eiffel towers filled with cracked ice.









Jamie's bridesmaids carried callas and bear grass accented with variegated flax foliage. The handle was encircled with beaded wire. For a more contemporary look, the bouquets were carried with the flowers spilling downward.

Jamie's Wedding 8-7-10


Jamie's beautiful wedding coincided with our Shop's 9th anniversary. Her bouquet featured white oriental lilies, creamy Vendela roses and callas accented with Limelight hydrangea from my garden. The hand-tied bouquet was accented with cream double-faced ribbon and lush pearl beading.
