Colorful June Wedding

The bridesmaids wore bright red tea length dresses, and we thought color was the way to go. Using white stock, yellow asiatic lilies, bright red mini gerbera daisies, hot pink peonies, yellow solidaster and white calcinia, we achieved the colorful look. And then some!





The bride's bouquet was a bit more traditional. Using the same types of flowers, i.e., lilies, calcinia, stock and peonies we achieved a lovely, lush bouquet. I added white freesia for scent and red roses for contrast.

Ceremony and Reception

The ceremony took place at a beautiful church with vivid stained glass windows. The altar arrangements included yellow lilies, yellow eremerus, purple allium, red miniature gerbera daisies, red roses, bells of ireland, red delphinium, pink snapdragons and white montecasino.

The centerpieces matched the chair treatments beautifully! We used a greenery wreath with red wire accents, red rose blossoms and petals. With the candles lit, the whole table glowed.

The Bridal Party

For this wedding, the bride requested flowers from a local grower be used as much as possible. I went through Green Trail Farm, in LaPorte, Indiana. We were not disappointed, the flowers were beautiful!

The idea was to go with a Midwest Meets the Tropics feel. The non-local flowers were orchids, roses and a few lilies. The rest were local.

The bridal bouquet consisted of cream hydrangeas, dahlias, roses, cosmos and orchids. I added touches of white limonium and snow on the mountain for accents.

The bridesmaid's bouquets consisted of pink, hot pink, and white cosmos. Cosmos are a little difficult to work with, they are very fragile and have floppy stems. By packing the nosegay full of stems I was able achieve a nice round, full look. They were so much fun to make!
