2010 Favorites!

One of my favorite weddings from summer 2010-- a very natural, gathered bouquet finished cascading jasmine vine.

The Bridesmaids-- designer's choice of summery, casual flowers in shades of whites to complement pink dresses.

Their smiles say it all!

Thanks to Katherine O'Brien photography for the images.

Green!

Anyone who knows or follows us, knows that I love green--see new logo, see old logo, see walls in office--you get the picture!

So to design this wedding was so much fun-not a lot of green flowers, but very cute bridesmaids dresses, short and flirty, perfect for our hot summer days--clean and crisp with the white and yellow!

Just cute.

And a sweet bride--this dress was absolutely gorgeous. Flowers featured--white and green hydrangea, roses, berries and freesia.

Summer time orange!

I love opening my inbox and getting a portfolio of photos from a wedding past--in this case last summer!

Thanks Barbara for forwarding these to me via Ashley Garmon.

The ceremony took place at The Smith Family Chapel (Riverbend) with the reception at Barton Creek Country Club.

I loved, loved the presentation of the bridesmaids dresses-- so sweet and summery--all in a shade of champagne, not sure if they are the same designer or if the girls got to choose-but super adorable!

The bouquets were a combination of circus roses and orange orchid blooms--sweet and simple-- when the dresses are short and flirty the flowers should reflect the same feel! More later.....

A few more favorites

 

Although summer is coming to a close, this bouquet brings back fond memories of fruity flavored sherberts-- simple and sweet, roses and yes, that is miniature carnations.

 

If you've read our blog for more than a moment you know we love orange flowers-- just a fun mix--roses, gerbera daisies, tulips, dahlia, celosia to name a few.

 

And then there's red--let me know if there is something in particular you would like to see or hear about.

"Something borrowed,something blue"

 

Seems like we are seeing a lot of shades of blue this year- thought I would share what we do with blue!

The bridal bouquet above was designed in all shades of white with just a touch of light blue.

The flowers included hydrangea,lisianthus,sweet peas, stephanotis and a touch of tweedia.

I know that this element was the "something blue" for this bride.

 

There were 10 bridesmaids all wearing the same dark blue dress, I think this is called "indigo", a rich vibrant blue and since this was a mid July wedding we selected vibrant summer selections for the flowers. Dark blue, red, orange, green and yellow were featured in the bridesmaids bouquets.

 

And one of our all time favorite roses--circus! A perfect bouttoniere, notice the dark blue tie--I love the traditional necktie in a color for the guys!

These photos were given to us by the bride (thank you!) but were taken by
