We often will have brides choose the same flower types for all of the bouquets, but have them in different colors for the Bride and Bridesmaids.   In one of our recent weddings, our bride, Katie,  did just that.  She carried a hand tied bouquet of  Vendella Roses, White Alstromeria, White Stock, Cream Spray Roses and a touch of Lavender Limonium.      Her bridesmaids also carried hand tied bouquets, made with Cool Water Roses, Lavender Stock, Lavender Alstromeria, and a touch of Lavender Limonium.     The effect is a one of consistency, but lets the bride have a more traditional bouquet while the girls’ have color to pop against their dresses.

For the ceremony, we made stunning vases of Purple Gladiolas – a nice, modern look that is also cost-effective.    The reception tables were low cube arrangements so that the guests could easily hold conversation across the table.  Featuring a combination of Light Blue Hydrangea and Lavender Roses, they were accented with a touch of Seeded Eucalyptus.    The head table featured a long and low, garden style centerpiece that incorporated the light blue, lavender, and cream flowers used in the bouquets and guest tables to tie it all together.
