camille and dj's wedding

holy crap...this is my youngest brother and the last of us to get married!  I had such a good time doing their flowers!  Orange, green, cream/white were their colors.  Their style was what I might call wildflower formal...with some hipster touches of burlap and painted flowers and dried flowers.  WAY AWESOME!

The flowers we decided to use were peonies (in the bouquet), orange and yellow gerberas, peachy mini carnations, orange mini roses, orange and yellow Colombian roses, green ranunculus, orange painted Billy Balls, white mums, spiral eucalyptus, poppy pods, light orange carnations, variegated pittosporum, orange filler flower,  and dahlia

BOUTS:  The burlap/Billy Ball bouts turned out really cute!  I "made" a leaf out of the burlap by fan folding the bottom of the fabric to make the "stem".  Then hot glued it together.  The Billy Balls and the seed pod I used have more of a dried feeling so they were also wrapped/glued in the stem.  Then I wrapped the stem in pearls and glued!  These were great because I could make them ahead of the other flowers.

 

Various pictures of the centerpieces which were provided by the Bride's family.  They have several vases in the colors chosen and so each centerpiece was unique! 

A Candy Table with vintage linens. 

A burlap runner on each table set off more vintage crochet, candles, framed pictures and the floral centerpiece!

Another arrangement...

And another arrangement...

No flowers on the cake, but I thought it was unique and fun so I included it here!

This is a sign in table arrangement that will double as a toss bouqet later in the festivities. Also included at this table is a tribute frame and boutonniere to the Bride's dad who has passed on.  I loved this idea to include him in this way.

 

This is the buffet arrangement full of Stargazer lilies, hot pink gerbera daisy, orange roses, hot pink roses, turquoise carnations and accent filler!

Hot pink, orange and turquoise were the Bride's colors. It made for a really fun and bright wedding flower experience!  Included in the arrangements--pink oriental lilies, hot pink roses called star 2000, orange roses called topaz, orange and hot pink gerberas, orange cockscomb, variegated pittosporum, lily grass, ruskus, orange waxflower and a turquoise painted grevillea and turquoise spray painted carnations...

 

 I love oriental lilies...I would love to learn more how to make them look really awesome in pictures

Her bridesmaids had handheld versions of her bouquet with ribbon...I always prompt my brides and bridesmaids to hold the flowers at the lowest point their hands can go...it looks better in pictures!

The Bride's brother escorted her down the aisle...happily ever after!
