Walkin' On Sunshine

Angela truly was walking on sunshine. She was such a relaxed bride SO happy!  I loved working with yellow. It's a favorite of mine but not often used in weddings.  BUT it's an "up and coming color". Especially paired with gray, which is exactly how it was used for this September wedding.  I love the bold yellow callas against those adorable gray dresses. I am not normally a huge fan of calla lilies, but man, those yellow callas were rockin'! And as you can see, they didn't need anything else. Just a twist and pin ribbon handle to finish them off.  Angela's bouquet was so fun to make.  She chose the design out of a book and then we tweaked it a bit to fit her style. I loved the soft yellow roses with the sleek callas.  The contrast of the fuzzy veronica made it so interesting. 

Jewel Tones in September

Bride's Bouquet

Amethyst, plum, magenta, sangria....where's the party and who's pouring? These jewel tones were so fun to work with and the best part... they were all grown in Cumberland County, PA.  Didn't know we had such a gem mine right? When Jess (the bride) contacted me from Texas and put all her faith in me to design her wedding day flowers without ever meeting face to face, it was the ultimate compliment! What fun to do the choosing on my own based simply on her guidelines of "jewel tones". Roots Flower Farm in Newville, PA provided me with these amazing colors and unique blooms: lisianthus, cockscomb, dahlias, gomphrena, plume celosia and snapdragons. And my own garden provided the mint and oregano. Even the ferns were harvested from a local source.
