We love yellow this spring!

One of our favorite shades of flowers...yellow, lots of varieties popping off this gorgeous blue gown.

Each bridesmaid in the same color, different style... complimented with sweet smiles..

Iron candelabras (rented from Mancino iron) --complemented with small individual arrangements.

Spring reception

A very simple centerpiece featuring the bride's favorite flower--tulips! Floating candles, submerged tulips and petals--simple but effective.

A very elaborate cake--five tiers.

And last, but not least a tossing bouquet.

Spring bouquets

It is always fun to receive images from pro photographers

thanks to Whitney Lee photography for these images!

I love seeing the emotions and creativity.

I love this image-- of course I love the flowers, but I love the dress hanging unexpectedly from the tree.

Bride and groom-- loved the groom's freesia bouttoniere--another one of those seasonal spring touches-- I didn't even have to look up the date of this event, I could tell by the flower choices--spring for sure!!

Spring lilac!

The beautiful purple lilac was absolutely gorgeous this past spring--this is one of those varieties that must be utilized as a seasonal flower--the tulips, lilac, roses,stock and anemone completed this monochromatic bouquet.

The bouquets were used as centerpieces during the reception--I am very mixed on this idea. I'll elaborate on this more in a future post.

The flowers completed a very monochromatic look with the dresses-- I will verify this - but I believe this shade of bridesmaid gown is Lapis.

Thanks to Whitney Lee Photography for the images.

Winter wedding flowers!

As we hit the dog days of summer, it seems impossible to think of cool, winter weddings!

Heres a reminder from last December--held on the lawn of The Four Seasons hotel-a simple color palette of navy blue and cream with just a pop of red berries!

Bridesmaids carried antique green hydrangea, cream roses, red berries and touch of light blue delphinium.

Very simple centerpieces following the theme mostly cream with a touch of red, red tulips, red votives accented with the navy napkins.

The room featured a combination of tall and low centerpieces--

Sunday morning at Green Pastures

An absolute adorable bouquet of ranunucla and tulips with lots of other stuff-- for a Sunday morning wedding at Green Pastures-looks like, feels like spring!

The bride collected all of the vessels for the arrangements-and an assortment it was-filled with sweet flowers and foliages.

The porch--last year we had a wedding that used this same idea--brilliant-brunch on Sunday morning at Green Pastures, is there anything more Austin?

More from Lakeway!

I just love weddings--the smiles are why we do what we do!

The details from The Vistas ballroom-- linens, gorgeous--white triple pintuck with cherrywood chivari, pink table runners and colorful tulips-- no doubt a spring wedding!

The ceremony serenely waiting-- and a bridesmaids bouquet full of color and texture--peony,dahlia, pincushion protea,freesia, ranunucla and sweet peas!! I loved the yellos, just adds a touch of modern to the pink.

Wintery white

This is one of my favorite bridal bouquets from the winter-- all in shades of white accented with the silver berries and dusty miller foliage--perfect for the platinum and white color palette.

Miniature calla lilies, sweet peas, tulips, hydrangea, ranunucla to name a few-- definitely one of my favorites of the winter season.

Real Wedding Winter 2009

These gorgeous, vibrant bouquets were designed for a bride a few weeks ago( remember when it was freezing cold), they really brightened up the festivities. I love the combo of dark red, orange and deep pink.

This bouquet was designed for the bride ( whom we never met)-the entire flower order was placed via email and photosharing!

That is amazing in itself-- the result, gorgeous (if I do say so myself!) bouquets.

Each table featured a different type of flower elegantly floating--simple and elegant for a winter evening.

Tulips in the fall

 

Tulip bouquets in the fall? Yes, it is possible- there is a fall crop of tulips available, usually in the fall tones-reds, oranges, yellows and then as we get closer to the holiday season reds and whites. Tulips are a great flower - they make  a small, sophisticated bouquet when used alone--they do need to be handled and treated properly--when you see those tulips that are floppy and over bloomed they were not handled correctly--these are flowers for the professionals! We do not recommend them for bouttonieres, although I see them in magazines all the time, I'm guessing it is in a different climate!

 

The bride's bouquet featured red tulips, mango miniature calla lilies and dahlias along with bears grass-- the bride loved bears grass. ( You might recognize this photo from a recent postcard or our current ad in The Knot-Texas magazine.)

 

A few chair markers  along with a carpet of petals.

We will be discussing petals and the cost of petals in a future post.

 

The arbor at Villa Antonia-- I love the angle of this shot-- I wish I could give the proper credit to the photographer who provided these photos, I do not know who it is? This CD arrived in my mailbox a few months ago-- thank you to whoever you are, let us know if these are your photos!
