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.

Winter Wonderland Wedding : Behind the Scenes

Ok, so obviously I'm excited to share this wedding! I've been up since 7 working on this wedding got home, put on my sweats and could probably sleep for a few hours, but all I want to do is post some pictures. What a great day/week. We had two staff working full time on this wedding this week and it turned out amazing! I cannot wait for the professional photos (so I'm posting my iphone pics). Here is a behind-the-scenes look at the prep for this wedding!
 

This was the cooler earlier this week: 150 hydrangea, over 300 tulips, & 85 garden roses (plus a few others!)

The wedding was at Island Lake Lodge. At this time of year the only way to get up there is in a Cat.  It took one and a half of these to transport all the flowers up to the Lodge!

 

Some pics of the flowers in the cat.

Fireplace in the ceremony room- loved it!

Not the best photo- but gives you an idea of how much garland there was.

A close-up of the garland. Hydrangea, tulips, garden roses, & pine cones.

On each chair there was a small bottle of bubbles & a little box of tissue.

The Guest Favor. "Fire Pit Kit" All the fixings to make smores.
