We have been busy, busy, busy, this week. It seems whenever my work load is slightly smaller I pack so much extra into the week that I am shockingly swamped. We have met with countless brides or moms this week. It is time to finalize plans for my fall 2010 brides and we are inundated with requests for 2011. I am also working on a new website, blog, and processes for our ever growing and changing business. We have a wedding today, tomorrow, and Sunday. I am not quite sure why my mind thought this was a smaller work week, perhaps it was because the weddings were spread out through the weekend. Our wedding today took place at Sunset Hills Vineyard. I need to be back at the venue at 11:00pm tonight to strike the event. When florists or vendors talk about striking they mean breaking down the event. Did you know we had to do that?
The wedding today featured berry toned flowers, we also used as much local product as possible. Thanks to Don's Dahlia's and Fields Of Flowers for their fabulous blooms. Whoops, thanks to my son Alex also who grew me zinnias, celosia, and hydrangea.
Cabbage roses were special ordered to create the bridal bouquet, but the hydrangea was local, and the lovely pink snow berry was straight out of my garden. Have I ever mentioned, that I love to try and include one blossom or foliage from my garden in every bridal bouquet I make.
Designer Jessie made incredible bouts and corsages!!!
We lined the aisle with hanging mason jars.
Centerpieces were rich, rich, designs from the garden. We used cosmos, zinnia, celosia, dahlias, scabiosa, black berry buds, hydrangea, stock, amaranthus, coxcomb, and foliages.
This wedding was absolutely beautiful and we loved working with Maria and Kelly of Ritzy Bee Events, Kate Headley Photography, Fusions Cuisine. and Stephanie The Baker.
Happy wedding Jenn and Anthony!
Here's whats "in the cooler."
Gorgeous flowers and I like how you include at least one bloom from your garden; such a nice touch!
Lovely assortment of flowers! I also include as many homegrown elements into my bouquets as I can. People always notice too!
I like to see all the variety of colors and styles all together in your cooler.
Holly – The flowers were just gorgeous. The lace and the twine were the perfect touch on my absolutely beautiful bouquet and the corsages and bridesmaids bouquets were so rich in color and just amazing. Anthony and I can’t thank you enough for making the day that much more special.
