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.

Jewel Tones

Next, a dynamic altar or entryway piece, the same flowers with the additon of gloriosa lilies. The orchids are in test tubes suspended with wire. Lastly, a piece of floral jewelry, a corsage of mokarra orchids, string of pearls and wire made on bright bangle bracelets.

The key to a successful wedding show is to always make something you want to take home.
