Purple, coral and feathers!

An adorable centerpiece to go with yesterday's arbor decor-- simple but effective.

Yes, that is purple carnations in a fabric wrapped container accented with the trio of coral roses--

The sweetheart table- cascading phaelanopsis,feathers and all around prettiness.

How's this for a dessert and cake table- we worked off of an inspiration photo-turned out really gorgeous--looks like the outside brought in!

Floral frame

I had a blast collaborating with the bride and groom to come up with this floral frame featuring more than 1000 coral carnations.

They had hoped for a wall of flowers- the ceremony was originally planned for outdoors so I couldn't engineer a completed wall of flowers that would be freestanding and work within the budget- so we built a frame with the soft fabric.

We finished it with the petals along the bottom--this was beautiful in this room, but I think it would have been awesome in the outdoor area:( The weather did not permit the outdoor ceremony. I can't wait to see some pro images from this event!

Glass Oaks Ballroom, Renaissance Hotel

This ballroom is a recent addition to our wedding venues-it is the Glass Oaks Ballroom at

The Renaissance Hotel near the Arboretum. They have been hosting weddings about 2years now.

It has a very modern feel to it, especially with the hammered copper ceiling.

We complemented the interior decor with the gold pilsners filled with flowers in shades of orange/coral and yellow.

The bride chose dark brown linens to complement the yellow, orange and coral.

We built a very unique ceremony backdrop for this couple!

I'll post later today!

Coral part 2

Last spring, this bouquet featured some of the first peonies that we received! This is one of my favorite bouquets of spring flowers-tulips,peony, stock, roses-all white!

The bridesmaids bouquets landed on the beverage station for the reception--a change from the "normal" cake table placement.

The butter colored stock accented with the ambience roses and finished with coral gerbera daisy and hypericum berries.

Boys and girls together!

Coral- what shade are you?

Flowers can be a great complement to a simple cake--the square cake has turned into a classic style.

Coral -- it is defined in so many shades--this is the one color that we insist on a swatch or paper swatch-I have seen it range any where from this muted shade to a brighter shade of almost red/orange.

The chairs have simple adornments--ribbons and flowers.

Summer favorites

A few pro pics from one of my favorite summer weddings--for me it always comes back to flowers that are organically beautiful--we as the designers are just the messengers. When given these gorgeous blooms it is a real treat to work with them!

The bells of Ireland are accented with the coral peonies and a variety of roses in shades of pinks and oranges!

Perfection!

A simple chair marker accented with colored ribbon and colorful petals!

Thanks to pinkposh for the photos!

Chapel at Villa Antonia part 2

 

These gorgeous photos were sent over by Marie at Pinkposh-

the colors are absolutely stunning!

 

The tall centerpieces featured submerged orange roses on the citron green linens.

 

The bride loved calla liles, a combo of both the large and small with a few stephanotis blossoms.

 

The ledges in the chapel--the finishing touch, soft candlelight, cascading foliage and colorful peonies,roses and gerbera daisies.

The chapel at Villa Antonia

 

A summer time wedding indoors!! Yeah, with the crazy heat we've been having here in Central Texas, we were happy to bring the outdoors in! A bold colorful palette of pink, green and orange!

 

Flowers marked both the beginning, end and middle of the aisle. With simple surroundings, the color literally pops off of the floor.

 

The low centerpiece-- it had some tall friends also-- I'll post some pro pics later this week.

The peonies are here!

 

Peonies can be so unpredictable, when will they be here, will they be open?We were so excited to get a few white blooms for one of our brides this past weekend-- and lots of other white flowers, miniature calla lilies, stock,roses,tulips and ranunucla--the ribbons that are exposed will be used to tie in her grandparents wedding rings.

 

Just a few bouquets before they hit the delivery van--bridesmaids were wearing coral--one of our most challenging colors-not alot of flowers in that particular  color range-- we like to pair it with soft butter yellow- these gerbera daisies were perfect along with stock,hypericum berries, ambience roses, and apricot parrot tulips.  A nice spring collection and thank goodness the rain held off!
