Well, the weather is not so nice here today...chilly and rainy. However I can't complain since I was wearing shorts and a T-Shirt to work out in my garden yesterday when it was 75 degrees. Besides, as they say, April showers bring May flowers. I'm so excited to see all the tulips I planted last year as well as the giant alliums, peonies, and viburnum. The great thing about being a florist and working on weddings is that I get to see all of those beautiful specimens even before they bloom in our local climate. Last weekend I got to use amazing peonies in pink and white as well as the most spectacular purple lisianthus I have seen in several years. One of the brides this week is a personal friend and I was so happy for her as she had a top ten day for an outdoor wedding held in Mt. Vernon Gardens here in Omaha overlooking the river and the bluffs across the river followed by a picnic lunch reception. The other bride had a beautiful church wedding with an evening reception. Here's a peak at some of the flowers from the past week:
White peonies, white dendrobium orchid blossoms and white hydrangeas formed the bridal bouquet. Japonica formed a color around the creamy white blossoms and added just the perfect amount of movement in the bouquet as the bride walked down the aisle. It doesn't show up in this picture too well but I loved the simplicity of the ribbon wrapping. It was white satin ribbon with a very narrow light ivory satin ribbon criss-crossing down the handle with pearl pins accentuating each 'X' on the stem.
Giant anthuriums and orchids were shipped in by the Bride's Aunt directly from Hawaii. I added soft pink lisianthus and stock, green Bells of Ireland, and two-tone pink and white snapdragons for this large garden urn arrangement in the middle of the colonnade at the park to serve as the space for the ceremony.
