Here are the last wedding bouquets of 2013! And we just got a perfect dusting of snow, just in time! The bride's bouquet featured huge white polar star roses, burgundy dahlias, and green succulents. The bridesmaids' flowers included silver brunia berries, lavender ocean song roses, dusty miller foliage and burgundy carnations. Yes, bringing carnations back! These were the perfect shade of burgundy and give it almost the soft look of a peony, but a fraction of the cost. The right tones, used in the right way, carnations are winning me over!
Here's just a quick snap of this weekend's autumnal wedding bouquet! I loved the colors and textures that this bride chose - seasonal and autumnal, but also sophisticated and creative - the bouquet featured a handmade paper flower made by a friend of the couple! The bouquet also included burgundy dahlias, peach juliet garden roses, silver brunia, lavender ocean song roses, white matthiola, and alchemilla mollis. It was a pleasure as always to work with Luna Soiree at Cobblestone Farm in Ann Arbor for this wedding!
Just a quick post today with a snapshot from a sweet centerpiece for a wedding reception at the Baronette Renaissance hotel in Novi. This lovely couple wanted a jewel-toned, contemporary splash of color to add to the modern and sophisticated ballroom at the Baronette Renaissance. I just snapped the quick photo before delivery - can't wait for the pro photos from Precious Memories Photography! The arrangement included blue anemone, purple hydrangea, white polar star roses, geranium foliage and ruscus foliage
Lovely dusty lavender, deep amethyst purple and white centerpieces for a wedding reception at the Michigan League Ballroom. These centerpieces included ocean song and little silver roses, white hydrangea, purple lisianthus, and white polar star roses. I am so looking forward to the pro photos by Linda Wan - I know they will be gorgeous (and so much better than my quick snaps!)
I couldn't believe these 'little silver' roses - mere spray roses - each stem had several blooms nearly 2" across and fully open. They looked fresh from an English Garden!
Thank you Patrick Hadley Photography for these beautiful images of M & B's autumn wedding (and for more, see their blog). For this sophisticated, modern, autumnal mix, the bouquets included magenta phalaenopsis orchids, purple dahlias, peach juliet garden roses, blue eryngium, and orange pincushion protea together with textured foliage. M & B were married at Temple Shir Shalom in Bloomfield Hills and their lovely reception was at The Inn at St. Johns in Plymouth. Such a beautiful celebration - congratulations!
So excited this bride chose a bright, cheerful bouquet for an autumn wedding at home. And I loved how this orange chevron cotton twill ribbon from The Ribbon Retreat added the perfect fashionable complement with a hint of vintage- lovely!
Flowers included orange and yellow dahlia, orange pincushion protea, chamomile daisies, seeded eucalyptus, dusty miller, peach roses.
It was such a pleasure to get to know this truly warm and kind family, and these lovely images from Danielle Murphy Photography capture that so perfectly. With a gorgeous summer day at The Dearborn Inn, this couple had an elegant outdoor ceremony and a stunning reception in pale blush tones and gold and crystal accents. The bride's bouquet featured ivory and blush pink peonies, pale pink spray majolica roses, peach juliet garden roses, sahara roses, and white ranunculus. The bridesmaids bouquets and centerpieces also included hydrangea and geranium foliage.
And this little hair accent just might be my favorite!
I just love that J&D have the biggest smiles under that umbrella! No problem for this couple and their summer outdoor wedding in D's parents' backyard in Saline, Michigan. There is just so much joy and ease with this couple! J&D are from out-of-town, and we did all the planning by email. I loved the joyful, rustic, wildflower look they wanted for their flowers to complement the outdoor setting.
The bride's bouquet featuring coral charm peonies, coral snapdragons, chamomile daisies, white matthiola, blue nigella, and the groom's boutonniere complemented in yellow and craspedia and blue nigella. Thank you to Tracy and Riva Photography for these beautiful images!
It was such a pleasure doing the florals for this lovely couple, celebrating at the beautiful Michigan League. With a mix of cafe au lait dahlias, soft pink sahara and quicksand roses, yellow craspedia, scabiosa pods - a soft, sweet summer mix with lovely textures. Congratulations!
A sunny orange smile for you today with J&D's wedding flowers! Orange dahlias, bright green succulents, orange pincushion protea, freesia, and geranium foliage in the bride's bouquet. Orange ranunculus and succulent boutonnieres. Beautiful images captured by Dziekonski Photography (and check out Marek's images of the skyline on his blog) at the Waterview Loft Port of Detroit, with Luna Soiree Events.
