Feathers at the reception

The reception featured 4 different centerpieces--each designed for a specific area--when you hire a professional florist, they should be familiar with your venue to help make the perfect selections. The above centerpieces were low with the explosion of peacock feathers placed on the double runners to match the color scheme.

Another selection was the submerged cymbidium orchids-all the flowers were either green or white--the feathers provided the inspiration and the turquoise/teal:) was displayed in the fabrics.

The cake sat on a ring of peacock feather eyes while the top featured a small cluster of green flowers.

Thanks to Danny at Danielcphotography for the images.

A few more images-

this is a great example of bridesmaids having flowers similar to the bride. I am asked all the time - should bride and bridesmaids be the same or different. I always have a few things I take into consideration, but ultimately it is the bride's decision--some brides have a vision of all white including the flowers, sometimes it includes a pop of color.

The ceremony-- one of our favorite spots- the gazebo at Vintage Villas.

Comple with wedding cake--I thought this was a very unusual pattern-- with all the pattern on the cake, the flowers were just a final complement.

Fresh flowers on cakes

 

Thought I would get Monday going with a bit of sweetness, possibly because we consumed too much cake last night at Lindsay and James wedding!

I was lucky enough to sample the above cake this past fall-- it was as delicious as it was beautiful.

 

Fresh flowers can be the perfect finishing touch.....

 

or not.
