English Garden Wedding: Barbara

Love is the greatest refreshment in life.  ~Pablo Picasso

Well this week was a very busy one with four weddings and two graduations. With the help of some great staff and friends (and my mom!), I made it through and I'm excited to share the wedding pictures. Barbara was a very hands on bride and helped to pick each flower included in her wedding as well as the lace for her handle (which I LOVED!)

The brides sister carried a posy of Romantic Antike Roses, tied with off-white satin.

The Bride's bouquet consisted of pink peonies, soft pink hydrangea, Romantic Antike Garden Roses, white cymbidium orchids, and pink tipped tulips- so soft and pretty! This was all tied together with off-white satin, covered in lace.

Each of the tables had two white cubes, two bud vases, and two silver dishes. They were all filled with a mix of : white hydrangea, soft pink hydrangea, Romantic Antike Garden Roses, White O'Hara Garden Roses, Lavender Freesia, Lavender Stock, Pink tipped tulips, white cymbidium orchids, pink peonies, and dusty miller.

Happiness in a Vase.

"I'd rather have roses on my table

than diamonds on my neck."

I know, it sounds cliche and cheesy but I can honestly say I agree with this quote. I also realize that I'm fairly bias, being a flower shop owner. That being said, I can remember every time I was given flowers as a gift and it always brought a smile to my face. And whenever I deliver flowers, no matter the occasion, it always brightens the persons day. 

Who knows why flowers have such an effect? I think it may be that they bring life and color to a situation (and maybe also that they are just so happy!).  As you may have guessed, I also love to give flowers and these two arrangements were birthday gifts from me to my grandma and to a friend this week. So fun!
