Danielle Ledbetter

Obviously I'm a bit behind on posting, been a busy few months, (and Facebook does make a blogger lazy.) I'll try to catch up quickly before I get into Christmas posts. Here is Danielle Ledbetter and Co. in October. She carried a great bouquet of eggplant calla lilies, white polar star roses with hypericum berries. Her attendants carried terra cotta roses, leucdenron, lotus pods and green hypericum for some contrast. A few unexpected materials made for some texturally interesting fall bouquets. The leucadendron (safari sunset) also makes a handsome boutonniere.

Jill and Aaron Juckette

A beautiful wedding for my beautiful friends, Jill and Aaron. I knew them both separately and was overjoyed when they got together. This wedding united some of my favorite people in Jefferson City, the friend and family network of this couple can't be beat. Jill's bouquet was a scepter of calla lilies and cymbidiums with an antique brooch (which she rocked,) the altar pieces were calla lilies and roses, some great decisions by Jill transformed a couple of banquet rooms into a truly elegant event - with fireworks!

magenta mini callas

Ivory vandela roses and magenta mini calla lilies (yes again.) I will abstain from preaching on the perfection of the mini calla this time, BUT I've done this combo in several colors and it's always a hit-just sayin'.

calla lilies and cymbidiums

Here we have some lovely designs for Naida Seeyle. Her bouquet was of calla lilies collared with green cymbidium orchids. Her altar piece was a grouped arrangement of calla lilies, green roses, Italian ruscus, curly willow and hanging amaranthus. Her centerpieces consisted of 4 cube vases tied together with green and black ribbon, floating candles, green rocks and fuji mums. I have always loved combining green and white. Fresh, calm clean and cool. Naiada brought some great ideas to the table that were both beautiful and cohesive. Props to my strong right arm, Amber Kadera who handled the ceremony setup like a true pro!

red roses and white calla lilies

Red roses and white calla lilies with a red and white braided handle. You've heard me espouse the virtues of this combination before so I won't bother, but it sure is lovely.

more callas

Just to stress the beauty of bouquets with few elements I will post the rose and calla lily combo almost every time I make it. Presentation bouquets of calla lilies for the bridesmaids and a clutch of fragrant white roses and mini callas for the bride. Clean and classic.
