Nicole

Nicole came to her bridal appointment and knew exactly what she wanted. In fact she was so completely certain I knew very little details about her dresses and colours until I saw the finished photography by Ruth Stenson Photography... I must admit- although I'd like to take credit for the entirety- her choices were amazing and I was pleased that we could accomodate her requests.

Her colour palette was composed of orange and lime green for her bouquet and the rest of the bridal party. The maids' pomanders hung from a broom handle across our backroom door on a beautiful fall afternoon.



Nicole wore a couture dress with an ostrich feather detail on the bodice and we added some creamy ostrich feather accents to the pomanders which were composed of green viking or button mums and orange flat daisies.



Nicole's bouquet featured mango calla, orange dahlia, orange cymbidium orchids lime green flat mums, queen anee's lace and more ostrich feathers.



The table centres were contemporary cubes filled with orange lily and gerbera daisies, green hydrangea and fern fronds wich echo the movement of the ostrich feathers...


Two large vase arrangements of orange gladiola flanked the stairs of the Montrose Inn which looks remarkably like a southern plantation in the photography from Ruth Stenson which I will post next.
