Monsoon weddings

A little rain on your wedding day is good luck right?  Well these couples should go buy a few lottery tickets.  I have never delivered flowers in such heavy rain.....and wind!

My first couple came all the way from Australia for their nuptials at the Doubletree in Niagara Falls.  I absolutley loved the planning process with this family.  Emily (originally from Welland) had adopted the Australia accent and her English mother completed the lovely sound to the conversation. (I am a sucker for accents). 


The new Mr. and Mrs. Hall.  Emily's bouquet consisted of Picasso Calla lilies, purple and 'Black beauty' dendrobium orchids, white tulips and white hydrangea
 
Emily loved the look of "purple" (again more of a pink) dendrobium orchids.  So we submerged them for her centerpieces, massed them for her cake topper and allowed them to be the accent in her bouquets.  The black and white with silver accents of her reception played the perfect backdrop to the "purple" orchids.

Jen and Dan were my second couple of the day.  Jen decided to have her bouquet walked up the aisle stem by stem by her neices and nephews.  Her and Dan's mother assembled the bouquet which was later handed to the bride.  I had never heard of this but thought it was a very cute idea.  I suggested using hydrangea as it provides the perfect framework to hold other flowers.  Jen chose purple tulips and green hypericum berries to finish the bouquet off.

  1. Ohhh!! Lovely! I like imagining how all of the arrangements would have looked together. I think my favorite are the ceremony arrangements!
