The ceremony site was very simple, just a few simple aisle markers on the pews. She also had her father bring in beautiful flowering trees, inspired by the Royal Wedding.
At the reception we went with two different designs for the 18 tables. The ceiling of the banquet hall was low, so we wanted to keep the arrangements somewhat low as well. The first was a single medium sized cylinder with orchids inside and a overflowing arrangement of roses, hydrangeas, freesias and amaranthus. This was placed on a mirror with small votives surrounding it.
The other centerpiece was three different sized cylinders with orchids inside and a floating candle on top. We used Oasis wire to add some extra flair to the piece and these were also set on top of a mirror with votives.
For the Sweet Heart table, I took a low oval shaped vase and put purple tea leaves inside and used orchids, hydrangea, roses, amaranthus, freesia, stock and alstromeria to create an overflowing design. I set votives on the table and used candles and flowers as an accent.
For the flower girl, she had a mini bouquet similar to the bridesmaids and also a clip in her hair which included three spray roses and purple statice.
The bridesmaids bouquets included hydrangea, roses, freesias and lisianthus.
The groomsmen's boutonnieres were purple vanda orchids with bear grass accents and a purple ribbon.
The grooms boutonniere was two mini-cymbidiums with a feather accent and purple ribbon.
The bridal bouquet included roses, lisianthus, hydrangea and freesia with white feather accents. The purple hydrangea was a Dutch import, but totally worth the price!
The bride requested a hair piece. We tried gardenias, but they were browning too quickly in the heat so I used the mini-cymbidiums and feathers to match the groom's boutonniere. I also used Swarovski crystal pearls to add a little bling to the hair piece.
It was a very beautiful wedding, and the happy couple was very pleased with how it all turned out!
