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.

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!

Marisa Boyd

           

Here we have another beauty - Marisa Boyd. Her wedding was at The Meremac Learning Adventure Ranch, a gorgeous lodge-style facility in the middle of nowhere in Steelville Mo. Other than the bouquets everything was created on-site. In my first meeting with Marisa she brought in a power point presentation of her vision. My kinda girl! It will take several posts to give you a feel for her day but we'll start with Marisa and her bouquet. I showed her bouquet shot against black last post so you could really look at the bouquet, but when a smiling girl holds a bouquet the flowers smile too!

a lovely white bouquet

Ranunculus, roses, some perfect mini callas and hypericum sprayed white. Using more ranunculus than roses along with the berries gives these classic girls some nice, color and texture variation. Aside from the bouquet and the dress nothing else in this wedding will be white...

bridesmaids

Vibrant scepter bridesmaids bouquets of orange roses, yellow and red parrot tulips, yellow mini calla lilies and seeded eucalyptus. More of Amanda Shea's wedding.
