Winter Whites

In February I did a really gorgeous winter wedding in white at Scarritt Bennett and Belle Meade Plantation. The whole event was coordinated wonderfully by Meredith Zeller of Bridal Blueprints. If you need a planner, go with her, she is amazing and her attention to detail really makes for a flawless event.

(And again, I do flowers, not photography. These are just my pictures, taken last-minute; I CAN'T WAIT to see the professional pics!)

The bridesmaid's bouquets. White hydrangea, Polo roses, white anemones with black centers, dendrobium orchids and accented with silvered seeded eucalyptus.

The bride went with four separate centerpieces for the reception.
Here's the floral centerpiece. Similar in composition to the bridesmaid's bouquets.

Super fun ostrich feather centerpiece. The Bride's bouquet was cuffed with ostrich feathers. And I somehow didn't get a picture of her bouquet.

Tall white branches with crystal garland made up another centerpiece, and ties back to the altar display at the ceremony. The height of this was about four - five feet - really good for venues that have tall ceilings, like the Carriage House!

Don't have a picture of this one lit up, but one of the shorter centerpieces was a collection of cylinder vases with floating candles. The tallest cylinder was filled with dendrobium orchids (behind the table number).

Altar display at Scarritt Bennett. Once they turned the lights down, it was SO stunning.

White and Bling

SO check out this awesome wedding date: 9.10.11! This bride chose an all white palette for her flowers, focusing on fluffy texture and the addition of lots of bling in the form of rhinestones. I can't wait to see the professional pictures!

Spring Pinks

This bride chose shades of ivory and pale pink for her bouquet. The pink roses smelled heavenly! It's not always easy to find commercial roses that smell good, but my supplier has a great selection of good-smelling roses.

The bridesmaids carried smaller bouquets of pale and raspberry pink roses.
Two altar arrangements (the other one looked just like this) flanked Scarritt Bennett. Everyone was still setting up when I delivered, so I don't have a photo of the whole altar.

Ivory Roses, Hydrangea and Calla Lilies

The wedding was at Scarritt Bennett. My picture does not do the chapel justice at all! It was just gorgeous!
The bride chose a very simple altar of callas and candles. A close-up of the garden roses used in the bride's bouquet. The bride's bouquet: wonderfully fragrant garden roses, green hydrangea, and light blue tweedia accent. The bridesmaid's bouquets were ivory roses, ivory spray roses and green hydrangea. The men wore boutonnieres of stephanotis.
The reception was at the Country Music Hall of Fame. There were three different table sizes, so three different arrangements.
The cocktail tables had a vase with hydrangea and bear grass. The 60-inch rounds had a vase with roses and bear grass swirled in the vase. An overview shot of the reception. My photography doesn't do the site justice. My favorite tables were the highboys. I just loved the modern look of the callas in the rectangle vase!
