Annie and Patrick October 23, 2010

Annie came to me with a bold colour scheme of red, deep purple, lime green and blue for her wedding.  She loved a piece from both our modern styles (centerpiece) and natural styles (birch bark handle) at a bridal show last year.  We found a way to use both pieces and have them work in perfect harmony.
For Annie's bridal bouquet I used red freedom roses, moonvista carnations, purple lisianthus, green hypericum berries, sea holly and bupleurum.  The bouquet was finished with a wrapping of birch bark on the handle.


For her bridesmaids we opted for red roses, red gerbera daisies, green hypericum, moonvista carnations, sea holly, bupleurum and salal greens.


I had alot of fun doing the flower girls "fairy wand".  This was a first for me, but I think it is a great idea for young flower girls that will probably destroy a pomander ball before it makes it down the aisle.

I have a huge love for this amazing carnation (moonvista) that was used in the centerpieces and bouquets at Annie and Patricks wedding.  I am a firm believer that if used the proper way, a carnation can be as lovely as any dahlia or calla.............it's all about presentation.

A massing of moonvista carnations with bells of ireland and looped curly willow accent.  Red ribbon adds the final punch of colour and ties it into the wedding bouquets.

The final element were the 2 large ceremony arrangements placed upon tall ornamental vases.  Crystals hung from the curly willow above a massing of red, blue, purple and green blooms.  These were later transfered to the hall to serve a dual purpose.
