Rachel and Dion's Wedding

-

Couples like Rachel and Dion are the type of bride and groom that make what I do a real joy. Not only was it a delight to work with Rachel and her mother but I loved everything they chose! Take Rachel's bouquet for example: Orange roses, peach spray roses, cream ranunculus and dahlias, peach stock, mini calla lilies and touches of peach berries - oh the lovely colors and textures! She loved her bouquet and we could not have been happier! 
 Their wedding reception took place at the Princeton Marriott and had  vintage book theme. I loved the old card catalog that Rachel found at a Library. She used it for the escort cards - how cute!!

Some touches of ivy, their engagement photo and an orange and peach floral arrangement made for a sweet display.

 For their tables we created 3 different styles of centerpieces. This style had three different sizes of candle holders, each with an amber underwater light and a floating candle. Touches of petals and ivy trails and a books here and there made for a very interesting but affordable table scape. Very colorful but yet when the lights go down, the glow of the lights will be magical! 
Other tables had cylinder vases filled with assorted peach flowers and similar books, petals and ivy trails. The last style was one large candle holder that sat high above eye level, again with a floating candle. It's very effective to have 3 different styles in such a large room. Keeps the guests guessing from table to table!  

I love flower girls, especially when we get to make them adorable basket arrangements like these. Baby peach roses, berries and touches of babies breath in ivory satin baskets provided by the bride must have looked adorable as they walked down the aisle. 

We also have fun making tossing bouquets, like the one pictured below. Roses in two shades of peach, berries with it streaming ribbons, it's going to look so sweet flying through the air on the dance floor.

Never heard of a Grave Blanket? Don't worry, your probably aren't alone.
