Henton Wedding Flowers

Kathryn's wedding was this past Sunday at Wild Rose Hall. This is a wonderful venue just down the street from our shop. I am blessed to become their recommended florist as Marissa (part owner of Wild Rose Hall) has decide it is too much on top of everything else she does to prepare for the weddings.

Kathryn conveyed to me the style of the wedding was to be contemporary. She emailed me several pictures of bouquets she liked and so I used that as inspirations. Her bouquet consisted of approximately 12 each of Black Magic and Friendship roses with a little Ruscus greenery. The handle was wrapped with a chocolate satin ribbon.
The bridesmaid bouquets consisted of 3 Black Magic roses, 3 Friendship roses and Leucadendron wrapped in the same chocolate satin ribbon as the bride's bouquet.
The corsages consisted of a Black Magic rose, raniculus, bauble berries, ruscus and leucadendron leaves.
The groomsmen boutonnieres were created to match the bridesmaids bouquets using the Friendship rose and Leucadendron.

Luz & Vic's Wedding Flowers

Luz and Vic's wedding was a simple affair held in Austin this past Saturday. Luz's favorite colors that she wanted to include were Hot Pink and Baby Blue. Their original desire was to use locally grown flowers so naturally I contacted Pamela with the Arnosky Family Farms in Blanco. It turns out late November falls too late or too early for their crops. So we had to rethink the plan for Luz & Vic's wedding flowers. Luz did express a desire to use calla lilies so that was the spring board for the new design.

I decided to create her bouquet with cream and hot pink callas, hot pink stock for their wonderful fragrance, blue limonium, cream lisianthus, white hydrangeas and wrapped it in a wonderful light blue satin ribbon.
In Vic's Boutonniere, I used a cream calla, cream lisianthus, blue limonium and wrapped it with light blue ribbon to coordinate with Luz's bouquet.
Here is a side view that shows the beautiful ribbon and the Ti leaf collar.
Below is a small bouquet I created for their offering to the Virgin Mary, a cultural tradition for their families. They also decided to use this bouquet during the reception on a memorial table for Vic's father.
