Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of designing flowers and provide a minimum of decorating for Jezz’s and Eric’s wedding on Saturday, July 9, 2011.
The bride was all about purple. For the bride's bouquet, I used purple hydrandea, lavender mini-calla lilies and lisianthus tied off with a dark purple ribbon enhanced with jewels. The bridesmaids’ bouquets were white hydrangeas with a touch of lavender sweet peas and white stock. The groom had a lavender mini-calla lily with a couple of loops of bear grass while the groomsmen had a purple lisianthus as their boutonniere.
For the ceremony, I created the altar flowers with a variety of purple and white flowers. I filled the bottom of the vase with purple glass gems and used purple gossamer as the filler. I draped lavender tulle on the front of the arbor and added a purple hydrangea to the white tulle pew bows with lavender ribbon.
For the chairs, I rented stretch Spandex white chair covers with satin lilac sashes. This really gave the plain room a little “wow” factor.I also designed and printed the programs, menu cards, seating assignment board and paper rose petal cones.
For the reception centerpieces, the groom cut and spray-painted his own branches and I added crystals and butterflies, also provided by the bride and groom. I created the “lighted” look using submersible purple LED lights set in Deco Beads. It really made the centerpiece “pop.” I added hydrangeas to the top of the branches as well as bear grass cascading out of the top of the vase.
The bride rented silver chivari chairs with lavender cushions. This really added a pretty look to the ballroom.Congratulations, Jezz and Eric! Thank you for allowing me to help you make your wedding look beautiful.
