Today we played with peaches and bling. Our first wedding of the weekend was today and it was our peach wedding. This wedding had lots of fun elements but the one common thread was the use of peaches. MOB spent hours gathering faux mini peaches and full sized peaches for our designs. The family wanted to use real peaches but the wedding was an outdoor event and honestly that was just not an option in this heat. The reception would have been a sea of fruit flies. We love how our peach designs turned out.
Our Grooms Boutonniere.
This sweet little design was created to wrap around the flower girls up do. We like to tie flower rings around the hair buns. The trick is to make them small and dainty.
This bouquet was created with cream hydrangea, pink finesse roses, white freesia, Juliet cabbage roses, and Illsa spray roses, white stock, white phlox, and of course mini peaches. We bound the bouquet in silk dupioni ribbon.
Looks like a very happy bride!!!
Happy married life Betsy, we are so happy that we got to do your wedding flowers, everything was just PEACHEY!!!!
Now for the bling, we have a very dramatic red and white wedding going out tomorrow and then a super rich black, green, and white wedding. Here are a few more pictures from "in the cooler" and then I am off to bed.
This was a pretty good day, as usual there was a little drama. We broke a few vases, stressed a little, and fought with Verizon. I have been without a phone all day, it is pretty frustrating to loose your phone line. We joined the 21st century yesterday and got cable, fast speed internet, and because of that our phone lines got messed up. Just a little glitch that had me on the cell phone all day begging for my land line back. Truly 4 and half hours of holding and transferring and begging for my phone to be restored. Lucky for me I can make a bridal bouquet and be on terminal hold.
Tomorrow I get to go wedding venue shopping with my son and soon to be daughter-in-law. Yep that's right, we are about to start the planning for our very own family wedding for the year 2012.
Sleep tight, I hope you enjoyed "in the cooler" tonight; I was almost to tired to write it… Well that is a bit of a lie, I was more distracted than tired, I am watching " Say Yes To The Dress". I HAVE CABLE TV!!!!!!!
I LOVE the peach bouquet – gorgeous!!!
How great is cable?! I grew up without it and of course as soon as I left to go to college my parents got it! I too LOVE Say Yes to the Dress on TLC. Remember our convo about TLC and your fam? I seriously think you’re too good for reality tv but the offer still stands. I’m a like the lowest man totom pole but I could ask around if you’d like. Miss you! xoxo!
You two are so funny commenting to me just minutes after I posted, why are you all awake? I love having fans!!!!
I love seeing your “in the coolers”! And I too spent the evening watching TLC 🙂
Gorgeous work, Holly! I do love the peaches! The image of Betsy seeing her bouquet says it all! Love.
The peach wedding florals are amazing! So romantic and beautiful…and creative. Wow!
