September Wedding

A beautiful wedding of orange and white. The bride loves Lilies and we incorporated them into everything. My house was FILLED to the brim with them. It still smells! That is right, that is our bathroom! It is huge and that is generally where I work! But only for another month since we have bought our first house and I will have my own studio there! Yay!

My husband has become very proficiant in packing up the car! He has devised a genius way to carry the vases inthese boxes and making sure nothing tips over. We have decided however that we are definitly in need of a bigger car for these events!

September Wedding

It was at the Memphis Botanical Gardens in the Asian gardens.

Everyone in the bridal party wore converse! Including the bride. LOVE it!

Theresa and Paul's Wedding

My very good friend Theresa got married last month in Clearwater Florida. I was so happy she included us in her big day. I was her Maid of Honor and my daughter was her flower girl. I also had the pleasure of doing her flowers!

With a mostly white and hints of peach, we incorporated seashells and greenery from her parents' beautiful yard. It was quite an undertaking with tropical storms for three days prior but we managed to get it all done in time. Thanks to her gracious parents providing space in their home out of the rain and in the air conditioning.
The giant alter pieces got to ride in style!

Bouquets

In her bouquet I used orchids, spider mums, roses, cala lilies, tulips, succulents, and monstera leaves. The lace is the same that is on her dress handmade by her mother.

Ceremony

The weather ended up being perfect!

Details

Close up of the centerpieces. I used Lilies, roses, lisianthus, hydrangea, spider mums, succulents, seashells, and spanish moss. All the greenery, including the moss was taken from the yard.

Theresa is an amazingly talented print maker and she had her hand in every detail of this beautiful wedding. She designed and hand printed the invitations, place cards, menu card, wrappers for chocolate favors, hand sewed the table runners, and made these shell wreaths. Her mother made her beautiful dress and her fiance took this fantastic photo of them for their guest book. AND they made the chocolate seashells on the cake!

Reception

alter pieces did double duty as decor at the reception.

Wedding Samples

My friend Theresa is getting married in May! I am so excited for her. She has asked me to help her with her flowers and we are having so much fun putting ideas together. It will be a beach wedding with the reception at a lovely restaurant. beach weddings can be pretty cliche so we are avoiding the traditional. She is in Colorado and I am here in Memphis so we have been doing most of the planning online and over the phone. I decided to play around with the collection of shells I have and silks I got from the Dollar store! I LOVE the dollar store!

More ideas

Yes those are silk orchids from the Dollar Tree!
