Mint & Gold Wedding

So, so privileged to make the decorations for Eduardo and Holly's wedding. They have great taste! :)

The bouts for the groom, dads, and groomsmen were cream paper leaves, 3 small mint roses, and 3 ivory daisies with gold pearl centers.

The bridesmaid bouquets were large cream curled petal roses, small mint roses (larger version of the ones in the boutonnieres), and gold glitter leaves.

Sweet photo of Holly's family, but I'm posting it for the mother's corsage :). The mothers' corsages were a cream folded edge rose, small gold glitter leaves, baby's breath, ivory daisies with gold pearl centers, and mint serrated edge leaves.

They chose a simple and elegant venue for the ceremony. There were mint tissue and cream origami flower bouquets at the ends of the rows and a simple gold glitter heart garland across the white heart-shaped arch. 

And yes, we made over 180 wands with ribbons and bells on them for the send off. :)

Cream, gold, and mint hearts surrounded the mint tissue flowers and cream origami flowers with pearl centers that were the centerpieces for the reception tables.

Mint and gold hearts on strings and a gold glitter Mr & Mrs banner for the head table, along with the bridesmaid bouquets. We punched out over 480 hearts by hand for the string garlands and hearts on the tables, but it was totally worth it!

So I think a toddler must have come along and ripped off the "T", but this is the only pic I have of the sweets and treats banner so I'm posting it anyway :).

Um, so obviously I didn't make the cake, but I love the way the photographer framed the photo with the tissue poms hanging above. There was a group of mint, cream, and white tissue poms over the cake table and one over the sweets and treats table.

By the way, the first 5 beautiful photos and this last photo were taken by Zane Mulligan. He took some gorgeous shots of them at the falls too, so if you want to see more of this wedding and his beautiful photography, check out his website here. 

Well, I think that's a wrap folks. Thanks for viewing my work, and thank you so much to Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez Perry and their families for choosing me and putting up with me when I was anal about where things should go! Such a beautiful wedding and such a beautiful couple!

We were so privileged that this amazing couple asked us to do all the decorations and flowers for their wedding.

I'm planning on doing a full post on the wedding and decorations when we get photos from the photographer, but for now couldn't resist a teaser :).

We are so thankful to the bridal party and family for helping set up and tear down everything, and of course to the bride and groom for choosing us to help make their day special! Congrats Eduardo and Holly! xoxoTweet

If music be the food of love, play on...

So this amazing photographer asked me to do a styled wedding shoot with her. I'm so honored to have been a part of this! So much fun planning and making everything, I mean, who doesn't love getting to plan another wedding!
I absolutely adore how natural Chelsie's photography is, the gorgeous natural lighting and unposed look of her subjects, it's just stunning! Check out her website here: Chelsie Moreland Photography. So psyched to have been part of this (did I mention that already :-))!
And I have to give credit to the rest of the people who helped to make this happen: We had a great make-up artist, Lacy Covey. My aunt and uncle let us use their beautiful land. Chelsie's husband let us use the horse trailer, Marxophone, and even their dining room table! And we had incredible models. Which I need to brag on a little more. Seriously, the models (my friends Andy and Kerri), were amazing. They worked in terrible conditions: heat,wind, bugs, no food for hours, and were incredibly helpful and patient. Andy let us borrow his beautiful phonograph and Kerri found her own dress and shoes to wear and they really made the shoot work. I mean, look how adorable they are:

So, now for the rest of the photos, which Chelsie has graciously lent me. Please only copy and repost with her permission. I seriously want to post all of them, but I will try to narrow it down.

So I was going for a kind of old world music feel, with a little rustic Nebraska countryside thrown in of course :-).

And yes, that giant flower on the wall is what our August Class is on (but the ones we make in class will be slightly smaller, that one is seriously 3 feet in diameter).

And a few more pretty pics to leave you with

Love this color palette

If I had my wedding to do over again, it would probably be in this color palette from Ruffled blog with maybe a few more olive greens thrown in. Absolutely love it! Click here to view.Tweet
