What a beautiful day

What a busy wedding floral season we have had! During the down season, it gives us a time to reminisce on the past year weddings. The color purple reigned supreme. Purple has always brought to mind royalty, passion and Prince. My team and I loved being surrounded by the year's most popular color as it kept us in a good mood while cleaning and striping thousands of purple 'Cool Water' and 'Sterling' roses.


What a beautiful sunny day it was, when my girlfriend said, "I do". I was asked to design the wedding flowers as well as be a guest. After all the weddings I have been a part of, I still get excited when I receive an invitation in the mail. Before thinking about the type of flowers to be used and what type of centerpiece would look good, I think, oh no, what am I going to wear.

Darlene wore a beautiful chiffon a-line dress with sweetheart neckline, accented with lace trim. The bridesmaids wore aubergine, satin strapless dresses with silver embroiderey accented with rhinestones.The groom and his men wore classy dark suites with plum neckties. The flowers were designed in a variety of purples. Stock, roses specialty carnations, statice, light purple calla lilies, tulips all added to the beauty of the day. To be continued.......
