Villa Antonia; brown, pink and green

Each year I have the pleasure of designing some amazing wedding flowers for equally amazing couples-

hands down, these guys were one of our favorites- they chose a brown, pink and green palette, with a few special requests we were allowed to create a very beautiful morning ceremony for them.

One of my favorite bridal bouquets-white garden (fragrant) roses, accented with a touch of green. This wedding also had a first for me: I receive many wonderful thank you notes from brides and moms, but this is the first time I received a beautifully written thank you note from the bride's father. I have to say it was greatly appreciated!

Garden roses!

One of the most requested flowers--garden roses! I have to admit I have had my doubts about garden roses--they are gorgeous, but until recently we have not had a reliable source for them. I feel like that has finally changed--we had three varieties for this particular event--a light pink, a darker pink and white-- they all performed spectacularly- this centerpiece had been featured at a morning reception and then delivered to a different location for the evening reception--these were some hard working flowers!

These are the entrance pieces to the tent--the morning they were featured at the aisle entrance.

I love these new brown metal containers-- we added the small centerpiece sizes and also the taller ones-they worked perfectly with this green,pink and brown pallette. The garden roses were definitely similar in size to peonies and smelled unbelievable!

Green in the fall?

 

Speaking of budgets-- I met with this gorgeous bride a few weeks prior to her wedding-- we discussed all the "must have" elements - during the consultation, she very honestly let me know what she could afford.

As you can see by the photos, she got gorgeous flowers (even including some of her "must haves") and let the design staff come up with the best look for her. Her must haves included variegated lily grass, cymbidium orchids, and herbs.  I love the hair flowers for the bridesmaids.

More summer weddings.

 

I absolutely love the simplicity of this chair marker-- a single cymbidium,fatsia japonica and a little pittisporum with a simple sheer ribbon--clean,classic and green- how could you go wrong?

 

The bridal bouquet to complement the chair marker--crisp and clean in green and white with a touch of ivory-- I know green cymbidiums have been done to death but I still love their uniqueness.

 

An even simpler centerpiece-- stunning bells of Ireland with suspended tea lights-- I love it when every element in complementary.
