These bouquets headed to the Stables at Foggy Bottom.  This venue is part of  Great Country Farms and it has one of the most lovely views in Loudoun County.  The stables, yes barns, are absolutely awesome.  This wedding venue is one of my favorites.

Doreen carried an all orange bouquet. We used orange Ranunculus, Tulips, Roses called Milva, orange Freesia, Celosia, Orchids, and orange Star of Bethlehem. The wedding was held at Chrysalis Winery near Middleburg and also in wonderful Loudoun County.

We used potted Ivy plants and herbs to keep the centerpieces at a comfortable price. This is a great option when working with a budget. You will also have living plants leftover at the end of the wedding to give as gifts or use in your new home.

Our next wedding took us to Winchester to the newly restored George Washington Hotel.  Rebecca was my pink bride this weekend and we really created some amazing designs for her.

Her bridal cascade was created of white Cymbidium Orchids, berries from my garden, two shades of roses and ornamental grasses. The maids carried Peonies and Sophie Pink roses and the children carried Sweet Heart Roses and Spray Roses.

The centerpieces were unbelievable labors of love, they consumed hundreds of stems of Roses, Peonies and Orchids.   Half of the centerpieces were created with Manzanita branches and Willow. We spent hours creating these designs. We added jewels and orchids to the branches.
The next picture is a shot of Designer Debbie and I carrying in the Orchid trees. This picture is awful of me, but I want you to see the size of these pieces.  I have no shame, it is all about the flowers.

We love these glass compote bowls. We lined each bowl with beautiful tropical green leaves and then used all of the blossoms of the day.

This was another amazing wedding weekend at  Holly Heider Chapple Flowers.  Everything was just beautiful and truly perfect, but just so you know “I always get by with a little help from my friends”
Special thanks to my awesome team of designers and thanks to Marianne at Helen Olivia flower shop in Old Town. She helped me find the branches and then also let me bounce ideas off of her as we attempted to build the trees. It pays to be nice to your fellow vendors and Marianne is a real sweet heart.
By the way the fourth wedding left the shop before I got the photos, that was my “Something Blue Bride”.
