April 2012 Wedding Flowers

Rehearsal Dinner Arrangments

This dinner had an oceanside or natural beach theme.

This arrangement was in the grand foyer.

Another view from the Grand Foyer.

A fun low centerpiece with shells in the base of the vase.

Another low centerpiece. I loved the way the bluish hosta leaves blended with the tablecovers.

This arrangement for the head table was so much fun to do! There was a lure floating in the vase with the ferns and greenery.

Another view.

Fresh Flower Designs

I will start posting pictures of some of my fresh flower designs over the next few months. Weddings are starting to crank up so I will be having some new things to post along with some of my favorites from past years.

But first up today is something that was very special to me. My good friend Deb, who I often refer to as my "evil twin" (she is not really evil, but don't get our minds going at the same time...it is dangerous!) asked me to help her create a casket spray for her mother's casket. So on Friday night we got to work! It was a very special time listening to stories about Deb's mother and creating something we knew she would love.

For Valentine's Day someone asked me about doing an arrangement for her husband that looked manly! I always like a challenge. She brought me the ceramic container so I found some orchids in burgundy that I thought fit the bill. My husband basically wears only 4 colors, burgundy being one of his mainstays. These orchids would be gorgeous in a bridal bouquet with the Star Gazer lilies!

For a park wedding I did this fence arrangement.

This is a church arrangement for a May wedding.

These Bridesmaids' bouquets were for an October wedding where the bridesmaids were wearing different shades of purples and plums.

This church arrangement was for the same wedding as the previous bouquets.

The next arrangement was done with dendrobian orchids for a country club reception.

This bride wanted only red flowers for her wedding. I think they were NCSU fans!





All white wedding flowers.



I added flowers to this cake. This was a fall wedding so we were taking advantage of the fall color palette.





Winter Wreaths

Now that the holidays are over and most have taken down their decorations is there a spot that looks so bare you can hardly stand it? How about a winter wreath? Here are some pictures of some custom wreaths I have done recently. Let me know if you would like something similar. Prices for these wreaths run from $42.00 - $55.00 depending on the size and fullness.

This has a mix of greenery, thistle, berries, antique hydrangea and small orange birds.

This is similar to the previous wreath with a different selection of greenery and birds. A detail of the birds and hydrangea follows:

This wreath is a mix of red, green and white berries with varigated pittesporum and other greenery. There are no birds on this version but would it not look lovely with chickadees or cardinals?

This red & antique green hydrangea wreath is on my front door. It gives a bright cheeriness to the gray winter days.

And if you just can't wait for spring here is a mix of different green hydrangeas with a touch of white. You know winter can't last forever! I actually do hydrangea wreaths in colors for all seasons. The price on them runs from $48.00 - $60.00.

Watch for spring & summer wreaths to come! Drop me an email if you would like me to design something for you.
