Sweet, pastel pinks, peaches and oranges

The bride chose a sweet spring color combo of white/ivory, peach (gotta love Juliet garden roses), oranges, pinks and yellow. 

Her mother hand-tatted the sorority handkerchief she included in her bouquet. 

 

The groom worse two ranunculus blooms accented with seeded eucalyptus and lambs ear. 

The bridesmaids were a little brighter to set them apart from the bride. 

 

Mothers wore a cluster of ivory spray roses with ranunculus, seeded eucalyptus and lambs ear. 

 

Grandmothers corsages. 

Classic Fall Colors

This wedding at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center was SO pretty.

 The maids.

Tropical!

This bride went with tropical, fun colors: oranges, blues, purples. Very happy!
The flower girl wore a halo or blue orchids.

 A giant arrangement for the garden at Belle Meade Plantation. I LOVE putting these together, even if it is in the scorching heat on a ladder (the urn is about 5 feet tall).

 Really pretty pew markers.

Texan Retirement Party

Ruby was the perfect spot for this party Thursday night, for a Texan who's retiring. They chose a rustic, yet refined Western theme. 

 

The flowers I went with were Cherry Brandy roses (pink AND orange - my favorite), blue thistle for the Western vibe, green ball dianthus, pincushion protea for the cactus element, and yarrow in the large entryway arrangement and billy balls for the table centerpieces.

I loved the table set-up. Farmhouse, exposed wood, burlap runner, fun napkins. And the flowers in the cowboy boots was a special way to tie in the Texas connection.

 Here are some up-closes of the boots. The protea were the perfect touch to these arrangements. 

The food tables had vase arrangements. A view from the top:

Nashville Venue Crawl, 8/4/13

Sunday I got to participate as a vendor for the Nashville Venue Crawl at Ruby. It was so much fun to be a part of this and work with such great people!

A compilation of all the bouquets for the showcase:

The men didn't get left out, either. Boutonnieres to compliment each bouquet and style.

Each table had a theme and definite style. "Butter My Biscuit" - vintage farm feel. Daisies in the bride's bouquet, baby's breath centerpiece.


"Eat Your Veggies" - vintage-eclectic. I loved the veggies as decor, and set the bouquet in a terracotta pot for the tablescape.

"Ruby: black, white & read all over" - vintage-industrial. See above for the fun red carnation bouquet and boutonniere for this one. Tightly packed carnations as a kissing ball, or in this case a bouquet, is such a fun look with all their frilly petals looking like one giant flower instead of traditional carnations.

"Sparkle, Sparkle" - trendy and modern, clean. I had a hard time photographing this one, but the colors were blush, gold and navy. The bouquet was full of blush-colored roses with a few rhinestone accents for that extra sparkle look.

"Olive you!" - Earthy, natural, but refined. This was the most simple table, but really looks great. I tied olive tree foliage on the bride and groom's chairs, and the bouquet was a simple and sweet collection of white lisianthus and blush spray roses, accented with a little olive foliage.  

This was my favorite table: "Orange you glad you came." Orange and turquoise, sophisticated but not stuffy. Oranges, peaches and creams accented with soft green succulents in the bouquet.

Beautiful, sunny Oranges and Yellows

Alicia and Nick chose bright, cheery oranges and yellows for their wedding. It was so cheery; the perfect complement to the lovely grounds at Carnton Plantation. (June 30, 2012)

It was well over 100 degrees that weekend, too!

Meredith Zeller outdid herself again! The event went smoothly and all the touches were there. She does a great job.

 Over 100, in the sun, and STILL fabulous. Quality flowers make a difference!

 The couple had several dogs and incorporated them into the wedding. The cake topper was so sweet.

 This was the start of the conga line, they knew how to have a good time! And would you look at those flowers! All day out in the heat and still looking good.

Pinks and Oranges!

Kristen was such a pleasure to work with, and her color palette was right up my alley. Pinks and oranges are my very favorite colors! She and her now husband were high school sweethearts, as is the case with me and my husband, so that made doing her flowers all that more special.

The urn in the garden at Belle Meade Plantation is a behemoth! It take a lot of flowers to balance out the proportions, but this arrangement turned out so great. I love it. 

The garden arrangement was reused for the reception, a great way to get the most out of your budget.

I just love this "first look" picture.

Ah, sisters.
