We are in love with this picture of our Sunday bride Erin. She gave us the big thumbs up just before she went down the aisle. I think that pretty much sums up the whole wedding. A gorgeous bride, an incredible dress, and an awesome family (her MOB is super wonderful) partnered with the historic Belmont Country Club and Holly Heider Chapple Flowers,  we had a remarkable wedding.

We decided to use copper and gold toned flowers with a subtle mix of green and blue. We were inspired by the tones of the peacock feather and because the maids were wearing stunning royal blue gowns we knew we had developed a fabulous theme and color pallet.  Our big challenge occurred when the very unique and gold toned rose called combo seemed to disappear from the flower market. I begged, borrowed, and stole, to get this rose for Erin. I have been told I can never, ever, ask for this rose again.  I of course, will beg for it again, but for now, I am really glad we were able to get this rose for Erin. Our color combination would have been very different without the combo rose.

Mother of the bride found a remarkable sheer gold – blue fabric, that was iridescent and we used that throughout the wedding. We wrapped the girls bouquets with the fabric and we also tucked in little loops of fabric into the bouquets.

I just love the bouts and corsages that were designed for this wedding.

The elevated designs featured combo roses, camel roses, blue – green hydrangea, copper colored football mums. We elevated the designs on my gold stands and we placed the peacock feathers into the designs.

Our low designs featured arrangements in vases wrapped with the amazing fabric and of course feathers.

I loved how unique and special these creations were, these pieces truly were designed just for this family.  The look felt very original, rich, and glamorous. Next best love of this wedding, was  working with Erin, and her mom. Erin's mom actually has decided to move to Virginia.  She said she was inspired by my life here in Virginia, and my hydrangea. She is leaving Florida behind, and moving here just in time for winter. I hope she still loves me when the first snow drops fall.

Happy married life Erin, we loved doing your wedding flowers.
