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!

All That Glitters...

What do you do when you want to have a winter wonderland themed wedding and real flowers don't seem to fit in? Our client decided to go with paper flowers with lots of sparkle and shine, reminiscent of snow sparkling on a winter landscape. We made over 80 individual flowers to go in the reception table centerpieces. Some of those are pictured below.

We also made boutonnieres and corsages. We tried to keep the bouts clean and simple with not too much sparkle as to not scare off the guys from wanting to even put them on. :) Our client requested the music note ones for the musicians to wear. :)

The corsages on the other hand...These were encrusted with glitter. Each flower was sprayed with adhesive and dusted with iridescent glitter. Liquid silver glitter glue lined the edges. And as a final touch, gems were added to the centers.

Our client provided us with glittered snowflakes and antique silver cones in various shapes and sizes for the bridesmaid bouquets. We added glittered paper flower petals and white feathers to make the wintery bouquets.

Awesome clients with a very unique wedding and we are so grateful for the opportunity to design their flowers! If you are friends with me on facebook, you'll know that toward the end of the order I felt like my person and everything I owned had been covered with glitter and feathers! But in the end, I won the epic battle with glitter and from what I hear, my client had a gorgeous wedding. If I get any pics from the wedding, I will post soon!
