Bloom... Bloom... Pow!

Soo while my mom was visiting we not only bought the dress, but we also scheduled some appointments with some florists. I ended up going to only see one and picking that first one because I really liked her a lot and so did my mom.

I met her daughter at one of the bridal shows I went to over here, and her name is Rita! lol... Anyways I had done some... ok A LOT... of research of what I wanted, so I was very prepared for this meeting with her. It worked out because she could see exactly what I wanted. Also, she has worked at the Rusty Pelican and was voted "Bride's Choice Florist 2009" for this area by Wedding Wire, so she obvi has a good reputation.

We mostly tried to work with White & Lime flowers with a tiny hint of yellow in my bouquet, and the large arrangement (my lucky color). I also wanted more of the modern with traditional.


The boys boutonnieres.... Wes's will be different because it will have some small white and yellow orchids... =) Basically they just consist of the Peacock feather and some green berries.




My bouquet. The difference between this image and mine is the coloring. I will have white roses... Lime green Spider Mums and small yellow orchids (see below) I will also have the rosary I made for Abuela Nena wrapped around the handle.

This is an example of the orchids that will be in my bouquet, Wes' boutonniere and in the large arrangements. The yellow will be used very sparingly. These were the orchids around Abuela Nenas mango tree. =)
Your bouquets will have mostly white spider mums (like below) as well as a few light lime green hydrangeas around the bottom.



These are the small arrangements, and they will be pretty much exactly how you see it here. There will be 4 tables with these arrangements.

This is the middle sized arrangements. We have 4 of this kind of arrangement. They will be in 20" Glass Cylinders. They are very large Calla leaves and will be mixed with some white orchid spray... see below.
White dendrobium orchids will be mixed in with it. to add some white.


These next 2 floral arrangements are examples of what the Tallest arrangements will be like. There are also 4 tables with these arrangements. They will be in 24" tall glass cylinders. It will be a mixture of these next 2 images. Again mainly green white and a small hint of the yellow (maybe)



Here are some Decor Ideas... These aren't included in the florists duties, but she said she would provide the wisps (greenery) for the votives. i figured we can put 2 or 3 of these on each table mixed around, as well as the entrance table and the sweet heart table along with your bouquets.



& that's all!! =)
