The bridemaid's bouquets were composed of white spray roses the 'Marietheresia' and 'Yves Piaget' garden roses with a small collar of variegated pittosporum as well, but were somewhat smaller than the bride's.
Her 2 year old daugter would be her flower girl and we decided to try something slightly innovative, modern and yet easily carried and fun for a little one. We dressed a series of concentrically smaller styrofoam balls which we selected because they are lightweight; the smallest ball was woven with bear grass, the next variegated pitt and dressed with pearl head pins, and the largest ball with a sage green moss. The balls were tiered together and pink cymbidium orchids were the cherry on top!
The wedding and reception took place at the River Inn Corbyville - a venue that provides a fabulous, substantial solid wood bar. Amanda envisioned a collection of 3 glass cyclindrical vases with a modern treatment. We anchored some cymbidium blooms at the base of this vase and submerged them, a tai leaf with pink striation circled the interior of the glass obscuring the stems of the sedum which were angled jeff leatham style, folded aspidistra leaves and more garden roses.
A saucer dahlia provides a dramatic focal point in contrast to the shape of the roses and submerged rose petals add textural interest.
The lenth and curve of these calla ideally suited the largest vase- we based the cylinder with tai leaves a white hydrangea and another calla nestled in to draw the eye. Mirror covers the wall behind the bar creating the appearance of even more cylinders and a grouping was placed at each end of the bar
The tablecentres were inspired by the Ellen Degeneres show and as I'm not a regular viewer I had to go online to determine what that style enveloped. We had some beautiful green moss which we lined the low glass oval cylinders and pink ecuadorian roses in rows stood at attention interspersed with rose buds.
They're all tucked in and ready for bed and so am I!
