Rose Petal Curtain

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

Last spring, Nicole and Cabel got married at Holocene.

The ceremony took place in front of a 19′x10′ white wall; we decided that it would be nice to soften  it somehow and Nicole liked the idea of a pink rose petal curtain. It was a time consuming project, but it was well worth it and photographer Robert McNary captured it beautifully!

Flower Decorations for your Wedding Cake

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Most of the time, the florist decorates the cakes with flowers.  Only a few bakers prefer to add the flowers on themselves.

Here are some examples; whether you chose a simple or elaborate decoration, the flowers always adorn a wedding cake beautifully.

Jennifer and Paul were married at Zenith Vineyard on a brilliant sunny day early in March. Vibrant Table catered the event. As always, photographer Jamie Bosworth captured the many special details of the day impeccably.

Woodland Wedding Bouquet

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Last fall I did the flowers for Lauren and Lincoln’s wedding (see Real Weddings – November 1). Early in the spring, their photographer friend Nicole Wickens (http://www.greendoorphotography.com) did a ‘day after’ session. Lauren asked if I could do a bouquet for the occasion, and she gave me the green light to do anything I wanted. This was the perfect opportunity to play with a woodland theme idea that I had wanted to try out for quite some time.

Nicole captured the details beautifully!

Ceremony Flowers

Monday, May 11th, 2009

A few weeks ago I posted  ideas to decorate archways and chuppas.  There are many other choices to decorate ceremony sites. Often tall arrangements in vases or urns are a favorite.  But you can also embellish the ceremony site with garden arrangements or wreaths or decorate candelabras.

Two bright pink wreaths, suspended from a wooden pole, framed the ceremony site for Jandi and Jesse’s wedding. The poles were secured in containers covered with moss; lots of texture decorated the base of the pole.

Buffet Table Arrangements

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

Topiares are often great choices for buffet tables: they are tall and striking, yet they don’t take up much space. Sometimes the bride prefers a more traditional arrangement in a vase. If you selected a woodland theme, log arrangements look fabulous!

Tall blue delphiniums ‘grow’ out of a tall square vase, lined with equisitum; lots of texture – seedpods, fruits, grasses, alchimella and unusual foliage – decorates the base.
