Wedding Faves: A Splash of Orange

Winter can truly be a spectacular season for weddings here in Austin and this one was no exception. I absolutely loved this winter bridal bouquet (January, 2012) which featured a combination of seasonal winter flowers with a collar of dusty miller. This particular foliage has become a favorite for its soft gray/green color and its velvety texture. And because it's become so well loved, we have found ways to incorporate it into every season this year.

Sweet navy blue bridemaids dresses served as great backdrops for cream flowers with splashes of blue and orange. I love the texture that the thistles bring to the composition.

Orange ranunucla for the groom - I love how the gray shirt and peach tie coordinate with the flower selections. Sometimes this is well planned and other times it just happens :)

The color theme continued all the way through the event down to the last layer of cake.

More of the winter purples...

These are always one of my favorite images--- happiness. The bride chose this gorgeous all white bouquet of mixed winter flowers and foliages...

Onto the reception--each table featured a collection of milk glass containers in the centers of the tables--which had been draped in soft platinum.

Candelabra flowers... big,chunky arrangements of flowers.

Winter purples..

From a recent December wedding..yes, purple is still on the radar and doesn't look like it is going any where soon.

This was a beautiful combo of purples/lavenders and blues --always loved textures in the winte..berries,dusty miller,sweet muscari blooms.

And then there were 10 bridesmaids.. These gowns were a subtle shade of purple/gray/lavender?

A very elegant choice for a large bridal party..

I loved the flower girls, they each carried a small bouquet similar to bridesmaids.

Winter reception - pop of pink

The reception featured a combination of tall and low centerpieces--

the tall centerpieces were all white with a touch of bling hanging and a few sparkly branches.

Notice the beautiful lighting on the walls.

The low centerpieces were all pink-- the vase was accented with the platinum ribbon.

This is one of the tables with the tall centerpieces-- notice how easily guests can see around the flowers--this is always a concern of ours!
