A Vintage Summer Wedding in Detroit


 It began with a vision of classic colors, and venue in the historical Detroit Athletic Club, originally a "Men's Only" club. The soft sunset brought loved ones together at The Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, located north on Woodward. Following nuptuals, the couple arrived to a champagne toast in the Grande Foyer and Library for cake cutting. 

Each attendant carried a soft pink and ivory posey holder made of sterling silver. Eight in all. 


 Creation in the workshop

From the simple to the sublime... elegant and timeless table arrangements sparkled in the candlelight. 



The family table held a sterling silver "wedding basket" in Victorian times the bride carried it full of fresh cut blooms, today we are using this for a showy arrangement, of hydrangea, Kahlua garden rose, clematis vine, scabiosa pods, anemones, peony, dembdrobium orchid, queen Anne's lace and berries of all kinds. 



The posey holder with "green ice" orchid, stephanotis and sheer ribbon to match the lovely mother of the groom's dress. Each stephanotis flower is hand-wired with pewter pin inside.

Bouquets to Practice





 Same bouquet - 2 angles with indoor & outdoor lighting

Bridal Bouquet Class - Nordlie Notice use of succulents





This was on an "oasis square" holder. Sections of variety of green items, showcasing the silver grey succulent. Very different, for the very unique-minded bride. Would make a great table arrangement too. 




Can't miss full blown garden rose and orchid, a classical favorite in unique colors.
