Tuxedo Arrangement

This arrangement set at the Bar!  I wrapped a paper mache box with pin striped paper and added a bow tie to look like a tuxedo!  Fun

Most Elaborate Cake Table!

The cake was beautiful....but the blue/purple orchid flowers made it extraordinary!
Stacy and Molly did a great job designing and putting this together!

Just before the crowd!

This was an awesome wedding that we did in the Rockford area.  The table arrangements were green curly willow, flowering kale, various ferns, dried lotus pods, dahlias, scabiosa, fever few and white roses.  Very organic look.

Wall Arrangement

This was special...our bride bought a corrugated metal letter at a flea market and we added silks to it to hang behind the head table.

We also do signs!

We also did a sign for our bride to set out by the guest book.

Silk Arrangement in Oak Sewing Machine Drawer



This arrangement was made to set at the bridal parties table at the reception.  The flowers were hydrangea, flowering kale, ivy, and dried lotus pods.  With a splash of dark purple hydrangea.

Paper Flowers for Wedding Cake


It has been lots of fun designing this wedding!  We hand made paper flowers in the brides color scheme to be attached to the wedding cake.  It is really hard to see the difference in the sizes from the photos...but the flowers graduate in size, starting with the smaller ones on the top, medium size on the middle layer and a cluster of the larger ones at the base.  We have mixed solid papers from "Paper Source" and also a small print on both sides.  They looked awesome!

Fall Head Table

The head table was four tables pushed together so we ran a 40" burlap table runner down the middle and then layered it with a MR & MRS table runner on top.  Then we scattered the various mason jars filled with the coffee beans, putka pods and candles.  And we also randomly placed the vases for the girls bouquets.  It tied in with the guest table arrangements and was not too tall for conversation.

Guest Book Table

This turned out really cute.....we used an old window and attached family wedding photos and then arranged the mason jars filled with the same coffee beans, lotus pods and putka pods around the window.

Surprise!

One of our brides is a children's librarian and we wanted to do something with children's books to surprise her.

So we anchored a few books around a glass vase and tied it with a ribbon, then carefully added the flowers not to get the pages wet.

Turned out adorable!

Blumebox Arrangements


These arrangements are so much fun with Poppy pods (super nice, they had strong stems and some of them were as big as a golf ball), Astilbe, Gerberas, Carnations and Mini Hydrangea.  We put them in a product called "Blumebox" which give you so many options to decorate and at a reasonable price.

It was a nice touch in the men and women's bathrooms.

Bubble bowls

A bubble bowl table arrangement
makes a beautiful striking table arrangement that is very cost effective.
We used one spider mum and a few stems of lilly grass.

Reception

We designed a high/low arrangement for the tables at the reception.  Here is a photo of the low arrangement we designed!  To carry out the square idea from the cake we used square vases wrapped with a clover colored ribbon and diamond initials to embellish the vases.

Fireplace Mantel

Here are photos of the hugh fireplace mantel at the reception.  We planned a scape using ivy plants with fresh flowers and we double matted family wedding photos and displayed them on a ribbon hanging off the mantel at eye height for everyone to see.  Plus we added a tuxedo bow to the bottom!
I think this was my favorite part of the wedding!

Wedding Cake

We truly love the square wedding cake on a silver pedestal our bride selected!  Especially with the "Dotted Swiss" look!  We embellished it with orange roses, white hydrangeas, white spider mums and green statice.  It looked amazing!  Even though the bakery was extremely late in delivering the cake!
