Where did 2011 go?

It seems just like yesterday that we were beating the heat.. and here we are about to ring in the New Year!

Purple remained a very strong color throughout 2011, what will be popular in 2012?

Purple was paired with so, so many combos--this late fall selection featured colorful flowers--greesn, oranges, fuschia, pink and a pop of purple.

Bride chose a hint of white along with combo of purples.

What is your color combo? Need to see any examples of specific colors? Let me know, as I go through all of our latest images, I'd be happy to share!

Thanks to Daniel C photography for the images :)

Peacock feathers 2.0

I loved the color of these bridesmaids dresses ( okay, I'll admit, this is the same color that my attendants wore 2o years ago!)

Back then, we called it teal--today it is peacock blue/turquoise--anyway, I loved it paired with the bright green flowers! Yes, there are peacock feather accents featured in this event starting with the handles of the bridesmaids bouquets.

The brides bouquet featured white (albino) peacock feathers--she resourced them herself, so I do not know where they originated from, but I love her bridal bouquet--lush white peony, exquisite garden roses, scabiosa and ranunucla-- gorgeous in all white--not to mention she is cute as a button!

We do not design many church pieces, so I was thrilled to design these arrangements-- not only do they feature peacock feathers but they have a perfect touch of formality and flare for this Catholic sanctuary.

Turquoise in 2009!

This was one of our recent weddings--this bride did a fantastic job styling this entire event(with the help of Aimee from Lizzie Belle events). This is a very effective use of turquoise!

All of the elements were thoughtfully presented-- a few feathers- a few balloons, a few paper poms,

Really gorgeous!

This wedding was photographed by The Nichols and recently featured over on the Greenweddingshoes blog!

Turquoise-color of the year 2010

Pantone has named Turquoise the color of the year for 2010.

It has alot of variations, when selecting wedding colors make sure to get swatches, either ribbon,paint cards,fabric or paper samples. Although there are no flowers in turquoise- it can be incorporated in many other ways. I can't wait to see what our brides come up with--lets look at turquoise together!

Pink,purple and fuschia with a sprinkle of turquoise

 

Here are the pro pics from a wedding earlier this summer--

This bouquet was an explosion of vivid colors,fuschia,purple and hot pinks!

 

A well put together bridal party--remember, this was an outdoor summer event--no jackets for the guys!

I love the color in their shirts and jackets!

 

A simple, gorgeous portrait.

 

And then the cake--also full of color!

Turquoise meets fuschia, pink and purple!

 

This has always been one of my favorite color/flower combos--bright pinks,fuschia and deep purples.The roses,gerbera daisies,dendrobium orchids ,stock and lisianthus make a perfect summer combo.  These brightly colored flowers complemented turquoise dresses--talk about a color combo!

 

Each table featured an isolated flower from the arrangements accented with the  blue votive candles.

 

And the cake was a presentation of color-- the bride's bouquet featured the phalaenopsis orchid blooms along with the other color combinations.

 

These were the adorable jr. bridesmaids --they each carried fuschia bouquets.  The men in the party wore shirts with green/blue pin stripes. I cannot wait to see the pro pics from this event.The colors should create a gorgeous palette for the photography.
