Candy Corn # Fall Wedding # YUM

 
 
Getting the tall designs ready, tall bitter sweet, birch and curly willow, the bright Sunset Garden rose for color. Below vintage bottles with short sprigs.






 
The Café au' Lait



Bright orange cockscomb, orange ball dahlia, orange ranunculus - just the most intense of color against a satin grey background.








Mom' s corsage




Sangria and all the inspiring colors of fall.

 
 
This was the most fun wedding to design, all so colorful yet not cliche'
 
 

 
These were red runner beans, pods that looked and felt like burgundy leather.

An Ovation ~ Wedding Aboard

A Smattering of Spring Weddings ~ Pure Michigan


  • A Peach, Pink and Yellow Beauty

Pink and Peach spray rose, white hydrangea, yellow stock, mini carnation and disbud cremon. 


 The girls bouquets had these wonderful coral roses with peach parrot tulip.




The same weekend was this soft grey and lavender bouquets. The girls wore navy dresses, I am not sorry about this choice for navy, it was stunning. Pearls enhanced the setting everywhere.


Stock in a box, ready to go. You can't see the pretty silver footed containers they were in.








The maid's bouquets.
