Heather and Jon - August 15th, 2009

Heather scheduled a consultation with me pretty early (as far as florist bookings go) - I think it was in Oct '08. She didn't come with any specific ideas but she knew one thing she wanted - Gerbera Daisies. Her wedding venue was Langdon Farms in Aurora, OR and it was a beautiful location that had a nice laid-back appeal but without being too informal. Her colors of burnt orange and sage fit perfectly with the surroundings.

The Bride and Bouquet
(Gerbera Daisies, Calla Lilies, and Tulips)

She had a fairly large wedding party that made for some great pictures. I really love the contrast of the sage green dresses with the dark oranges of the bouquets. I also made some cute flower girl baskets that were filled with orange Mokara Orchid heads.

We went back on forth on what she wanted for the aisle way. She decided on pomanders, but then found out that the chairs at the venue had rounded backs and wouldn't be able to hold the pomanders. She remedied that by renting shepards hooks. I actually thought they were going to be the shorter ones, but found the tall ones when I arrived at the venue to set-up. I didn't want the balls to hang down too low and block the guests view of the ceremony so we decided to hang the balls right on the hooks. I thought it was a cool look and something a little unexpected.

Just Married

Since they had quite a large guest count, the pomanders were re-used and placed on top of a cylinder vase for centerpieces on half the tables. The other half consisted of bowls with floating tea lights and gerbera daisies (sorry no pics of these).

Her cake was simple and lovely and just required a few of the Gerbs placed on each level. I love her cake topper (so cute!).

It turned out to be a beautiful late summer wedding and I wish the best to Heather and Jon in their new life together!
