Christie and Taylor

Christie and Taylor's wedding took place on August 27, 2011 at Zenith Vineyard in Salem, Oregon.

Christie chose shades of purple and ivory as her wedding colors, which complimented nicely with the venue: a gorgeous outdoor setting that did not lack class in the slightest!

Christie's Bridal Bouquet: Lisianthus, scabiosa pods, picasso calla lilies, monkey tails, ivory roses and spray roses,  cymbidium orchids, and seeded eucalyptus. 

The Bridesmaid Bouquets: Lavender roses, deep purple lisianthus, and purple larkspur.

Taylor's Boutonniere: Picasso lily with snow berry, seeded eucalyptus, and purple hydrangea blossom.

The Groomsmen Boutonnieres: Mokara orchid with monkey tail, and seeded eucalyptus.

The ceremony: A large metal gazebo draped with white tulle. Two arrangements attached to the front made of white hydrangea, lavender roses, white and purple lisianthus, purple larkspur, ivory roses, purple delphinium, dendrobium orchids, and seeded eucalyptus.

Chair ends: Silver pails filled with purple hydrangea, lavender roses, dendrobium orchids, and seeded eucalyptus. Lavendar and ivory roses petals down the aisle added a nice touch of color also.

The Reception was decor was fun! Large pilsner vase arrangements featuring curly willow lightly spray painted silver for a less woodsy and more classy look. So much drama!

Jason and Danielle

Jason and Danielle had their wedding at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Coarse on July 30, 2011. Their floral palette consisted of shades of white and fusia with pops of gray. It was an amazingly warm and sunny day-perfect for an outdoor wedding.  The ceremony site was very intimate, private, and with a beautiful view. 

Just look at the gorgeous bride! Danielle's bouquet: hydrangea, dahlias, stock, freesia, cymbidium orchids, roses, and a collar of lamb's ear.

The bridesmaid bouquets: hydrangea, white stock, fusia dahlias, hot pink roses, fusia ranunculus, fusia celosia, fusia spray roses, and a collar of lamb's ear.

An arch of curly willow with flowers romantically wired to the branches served as the ceremony centerpiece.

The End of A Season

Wedding season is winding down. It's time to start uploading pictures! First up: Another marvelous D.I.Y. wedding. Cristy had many friends and family helping her to do all of the wedding flowers and decor. She decided to order the bridal bouquet and boutonniere from us for a professional touch. Look at the happy couple!

Cheri's Bouquet

Cheri got married earlier this month of July. Her wonderful family provided their backyard as the venue, where they harvested a crop of flowers for the ceremony and reception! She ordered her bridal bouquet and matching boutonniere from us, and the rest of the flowers were arranged by family members. In the spirit of D.I.Y. here is of a photo of Cheri's bridal bouquet taken by my pocket sized cannon camera.

Bouquet Dress Challenge

 Earlier this year, we were invited by the wonderful Wedding bloggers at "Style Unveiled" to participate in a "Bouquet - Dress Challenge".  We took inspiration from this gorgeous Vera Wang dress.

 Our inspiration for the bouquet were the most colorful flowers of the season: Tulips at their peak. A collar of fusia tulle and fusia wire were the finishing touch to this hand tied bouquet.

The Perfect Wedding Guide Bridal Show

Portland Perfect Wedding Guide and  The Heathman Hotel  put on one lovely and intimate bridal show! Cozy, and with a comfortable number in attendance, it might be very possible that every guest passed by our booth. Lucky us, our "next door neighbors" were the fun and talented photography team, Alice and Josh of Mosca Photo. They took some wonderful photos of our booth.

 The vintage inspired table.

A broach on the ribbon wrap truly completed this bridal bouquet.

Another way to compliment a bridal bouquet with detail on the ribbon wrap: sparkle!

Another view of the same vibrant and textural bouquet.

Speaking of texture...

and color...

and floral arrangements that are round, full, modern, and lush...

Thank you for documenting our booth Mosca Photo !
