The Best Day of my Life

It's been such a long time but I finally got pictures from MY wedding!! I got married on Sept. 30th to my best friend and I was able to design my whole wedding and do the flowers!

I made my bouquet and all the line flowers and the centerpieces with help from Nannette York, my old boss from Sleepy Ridge, which is, of course, where I had my reception. 

My bouquet was made of Garden roses, tulips, blue thistle, Scabiosa pods, and Queen Anne's Lace.

These were the mothers and grandmothers corsages made of tulips, stock, tweedia, and pittosporum. The father and grandfathers boutonnieres were also made with the same tulips.

We had two different centerpieces. 

One type was a wildflower look in grouped mason jars. The different flowers included orange dahlias, pink roses, orange and white spray roses, white aster, peach and white stock, bachelor buttons, queen anne's lace, blue delphinium, blue thistle, and scabiosa pods. 

The other centerpieces were groups of random glass bottles that I collected from ebay, a restaurant my sister worked at, antique stores, and even the recyclery. They also included the same flowers that were in the mason jars.

These were the favors we put together. I found a place online that sells 1 ounce jars of jam. We got blueberry and apricot flavors and made these tags to go on them. 

This was the buffet piece that Nannette put together for me. It's so beautiful! She's so amazing. You can visit her blog at nannetteyork.blogspot.com. Doing my own wedding was so much fun, and I had a lot of help! It definitely helped me understand better the "brides point of view". Watching it all come together was the best part. It was such a beautiful day to start out a wonderful new life :D

Bridals!

I thought I would just post this picture of a bouquet I made for my own bridals :) My fiance is in the air force so we included his hat. It was kind of a cool picture because it shows both of our professions. 

Anyways, the bouquet consists of roses, gerbera daises, queen anne's lace (dyed blue), carnations, and blueberries, and pittosporum. Picture courtesy of Kelli West Photography. I thought it turned out nicely :D

Circus Wedding...?

Okay, this wedding wasn't really a circus but the colors reminded me of one. The second I walked in the flower room I got so excited to see all the bright colored flowers. Different is always fun. The colors for this wedding were basically hot pink and orange and I guess the accent colors were blue and purple. I did all the line flowers. This picture is one of the bridesmaid bouquets. It consists of pink and orange roses, purple stock, and pitt. 

Below is a picture of one of the boutonnieres for the dads and grandpas. They were orange roses and blue delphinium. 

These were the wrist corsages for the mothers. It was orange roses, delphinium and stock. We glued the ribbon to it so they could tie them to their wrists. WAY more comfortable than the little elastic holders if you ask me :)

This was a really fun wedding to do because it was such fun colors! It's fun to get a little different sometimes and stray away from the classic color schemes.
