Blushing Bridal Flowers

Emma selected a light champagne hue for her wedding held at the Fountains Ballroom in Glenwood, Iowa. Soft colored blooms with a bit of edgy color  to create contrast were combined for her bridal bouquet.

Patio pots of annuals escorted our bride down the aisle. They were later used at mom's pool and the bride and groom's front porch of their new home together; a great way to create lasting memories of their wedding day.

Weighted urns with the right blooms were chosen for a very windy outdoor venue, there are many behind the scenes considerations when planning an outdoor wedding with Midwestern weather conditions.

Emma made her guests feel a part of nature at this venue with a touch of glamour. The look was accomplished with silver urns of  graceful manzanita branches and mercury bowls, embracing the gentle pallette of stock and hydrangeas.

Clarifying a Wedding Vision

Planning a wedding can be difficult for a bride on the go, especially for one who goes to school full time. Our bride (who is currently a college student) needed to make decisions while preparing for final exams. She decided to have a pre-wedding run through with her coordinator, lighting technician, caterer, and florist at the venue.

This meeting helped refine our bride's wedding vision. The lighting was planned in tandem with our flowers to stay true to the bridal color palate. Linens were chosen and menu items sampled. Everyone left with a clear idea of what the big day will be like. Now our bride can focus on passing her finals!

Navy and Pink: a Color Palate Love Story

 Feminine, elegant pink and bold, classic navy blue was a color palate match made in heaven for this wedding.  Our bride preferred the accent of a simple gold container for her centerpieces.

Winter Fairy-Tale Romance

Our bride wanted the luxuriant blossoms of garden roses as well as the stark beauty of icy branches in winter. The result was an extravagant confection of crystals, mercury glass, candles, fairy lights and regal bouquets adorning the entire event!

Each bouquet was sweetly perfumed by silky cream colored garden roses. Delicate orchids gracefully complimented the textured elements of brazilia berries, all enthroned in evergreens.

The centerpieces heightened the romance and intimacy in the room with soft candlelight. Cylinder vases were wrapped in birch branches and crystal bands, then filled with water. Floating candles made the tables sparkle and cast woodsy shadows everywhere. White hydrangeas added the softness of snow to keep with the wintery elegance of the theme.

Mercury and clear glass votive candles brought more light to each table while accenting the centerpieces. 

Fluted silver vases imitated enchanted forest trees with their height; sprouting hydrangea and birch branches for added drama.

The effect of the design as a whole made the space enchanting and intimate; an event fit for a princess!

An Intimate Wedding in Rustic Elegance

An intimate reception was held for a couple who chose to marry out of state and then celebrated with family in the bride's hometown. This event was all about her home and her family, so everything was designed around rustic elegance with her Midwestern roots in mind. 

 The Oak Hills Country Club had just the right ambience for our bride's celebration, featuring a spacious ballroom, lovely architecture, and plenty of seating while allowing ample opportunity for decoration.

Dessert and cocktail stations were laid out in a serpentine fashion, removing the tendency towards crowded buffet style lines, encouraging relaxed mingling and conversation.

The bride wanted the main culinary event to be focused on her grandma's homemade pies, rather than her cake. Ed LeFebvre at Cupcake Island achieved our bride's vision by thinly icing a simple three tier cake and wrapping it with burlap ribbon. This kept the spotlight on grandma's pies while the cake itself became part of the elegant rustic decor.

Wedding of Fida and Ziad

Nuptials befitting royalty were held at Saint Mary's  Orthodox Christian Church in Omaha, Nebraska featuring a glamorous array of white, pink, and a touch of accenting purple. 

We created the bride's bouquet to sparkle during the candle lit service with silver leaves tucked beneath orchids, roses and freesia. 

Garden roses and hydrangea  graced the reception banquet tables in the Blackstone Ballroom at the Hilton down town.

The bridesmaids' bouquets became featured pieces for the serving tables, easily becoming part of  the decor while giving the ladies a place to set them.
