Lavender and brown for fall

A bridal bouquet that was designed a few weeks ago--color palette: lavender, cream and brown.

Bridal bouquet--shades of cream,white and lavender--I loved this sweet bouquet--oh, yeah NO roses --just a wonderful selection of flowers--miniature calla lilies, stephanotis, hydrangea, freesia, sweet peas, lisianthus -so pretty if I say so myself:)

Bridesmaids--cream and whites with the chocolate brown ribbon accent--similar flowers to the brides selection minus the premium varieties--helps keep the consistency among the flowers.

Patiently awaiting the brides arrival.

Just for Hayley-

We designed this bridal bouquet a few weeks ago for a friend of our family-- she had a page from a magazine torn out with a bouquet very similar to this for our inspiration-- filled with the most scrumptious peonies, miniature calla lilies, muscari, nerine,ranunucla and sweet peas-- hope you loved it as much as I loved designing it!

Pop of pink- winter style!

Catching up on a few of our winter events--

I loved this bright pink bridal bouquet--the simplicity of the bridal gown was a perfect backdrop for this PINK bouquet--roses and calla lilies with a little touch of bling.

The bridesmaid wore a beautiful platinum floor length gown-- a formal, 7pm Catholic ceremony.

The bridesmaids bouquets were more pink flowers--I am loving ruffles at the moment--so I thought the ruffle detail was so adorable on these gowns.

More favorites!

Miniature calla lilies remain a popular flower for weddings.

They come in a variety of colors, white, yellow, hot pink, shades of purple, and then the mango and fall tones.

I'v talked about their expense before-

Above we paired the white with some super fun ostrich feathers ( I know they are not for everyone) but they certainly added a little whimsy to an otherwise formal bouquet!

The yellow always provide a spectacular bloom-we collared these 20 with a few green cymbidium orchids and finished with the fatsia leaves.

Always a favorite, the miniature calla lily bouttoniere-- here we added a finish of gold boullion to go with all the outrageous metallics we are seeing this season.

Calla lilies

This is by far one of the most popular bouquets that we design. It works with so many different types of gowns- is always simple and elegant.

Colored ribbons with the calla lilies for the outdoor chairs.

I love colored ribbon outdoors--I generally would not suggest colored ribbons for a church or chapel, but I love them outdoors.

This is a combination of both regular and miniature varieties of calla lilies. We like the way this combination finishes-- it doesn't make the handle too big but still give a bigger presence.

Elegant fall

 

I am absolutely loving the gorgeous fall weather that has finally arrived here in Austin, Tx.

These bouquets were designed for our bride on this past Friday night,what a glorious evening-I know she was relieved to have the weather cooperate.  Her bouquet featured some of our favorite fall elements- miniature mango calla lilies, orange mokara orchids, leondis and milva roses accented with brown hypericum berries.

 

The 3 bridesmaids carried simple,elegant bouquets of the mango miniature calla lilies--they were French braided with a copper ribbon to coordinate with the mocha gowns with copper sashes.

 

The bouquet in the bottom of the frame belongs to the maid of honor- she had a bouquet similar to the bride just a bit smaller. This was an outdoor ceremony and reception on a beautiful fall evening!

The many shades of orange

 

Orange is a perennial favorite--maybe it's those Longhorns or maybe because we have so many glorious flowers in shades of oranges--the orange gerbera daisies always provide a pop of color-they complemented the many shades of miniature calla lilies- yellow, mango and burgandy.

 

I love these shoes-- the was a summer bouquet--mango mini calla, circus roses and orange spray roses.

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.

Fall is right around the corner

One of the more pricier flowers in the fall (well, really anytime) but nothing compares!
