Coral Callas at the Jewel Box

Sheena and Scott were married in September at the Jewel Box. We had the pleasure of designing their flowers. Here are some shots from that day.

The Jewel Box set up for the ceremony.

This linear bridal bouquet had coral callas lilies and white cymbidium orchids.

The bridesmaids carried coral gerber daisies accented with green hypericum berries.

Congratulations to wedding party and their families!

Yellow and Coral -- Part 2

Here they are--as promised!! These shots are taken by Clary Photo of Melissa and Patrick's July 4th wedding in St. Charles. Take a look!!

As mentioned in the last blog, the bridal bouquet was a mix of coral roses with rhinestone accents surrounded by bright yellow freesia.

The bridesmaids' bouquets were the same flowers as the bridal bouquet, but the freesia was mixed in with the roses.

The flower girls even had a mini bouquet to carry down the aisle.

Melissa and Patrick's reception was held at the Foundry Art Centre in St. Charles.

Some of the tables had these garden-y ginger gars filled with yellow and coral roses, spray roses, gerbers, and filler.






The other tables had these tall vases with the same flowers.

Special thanks for Clary Pfeiffer for these awesome photos!!

Congratulations to Melissa and Patrick! We wish you all the best!

Yellow and Coral -- Part 1

Melissa and Patrick were married on 7-4-09 in St. Charles. Melissa loved the idea of having coral and yellow flowers at her wedding. Here are some snapshots of the day that we took while delivering the flowers.

The bridal bouquet was a combination of coral roses with rhinestone accents and bright yellow freesia around the outside.

Anything this beautiful bride carried would have been gorgeous!! She loved the yellow and coral!







Here are some shots of the decorations we did inside St. Cletus Church in St. Charles. We tied small clusters of yellow and coral gerbers to the pews to line the aisle.














We also brought altar vases in the wedding flowers and colors, as well as a unity piece with candles.








Stay tuned for Part 2 of this blog with some of the professional shots from Melissa and Patrick's big day--taken by Clary Pfeiffer.

Seasnoal Peonies, Sweet Pea, and Ranunculus

Earlier this year, we designed very spring-looking bouquets for one of our brides. We used seasonal flowers including peonies, ranunculus, and sweet pea for the bride and her maids. Here are some shots we took just before delivery.

This bridal bouquet showcased green hydrangea as a background, ivory roses, and white sweet pea. The sweet pea is the paper thin, clam-shaped flower seen all throughout the bouquet.

The bridesmaids carried these bouquets of white peonies and orange/coral ranunculus.

All three of these flowers come in many different colors and can be used in different ways. Ask about their availability for your wedding or event!

Coral and Yellow

We have noticed this spring and summer that coral and yellow are becoming very popular for weddings. Here is an example of both colors mixed together in a bridal bouquet.

These flowers included cherry brandy roses, yellow freesia, white mini callas, and coral spray roses.




More coral and yellow examples coming soon!!

Wedding at the Coronado

When everything comes together, a wedding can be just beautiful. Emily Reed's wedding, on June 21, is a wonderful example. Brightly colored dresses and flowers, and the Coronado Ballroom all played their part in helping the bride's vision become reality.

All of these gorgeous shots were taken by Lace.

Emily carried a clutch of mango mini calla lilies, to match her bridesmaids' colors.

The bridesmaids carried mango callas, cherry brandy roses, coral spray roses, and green hydrangea as a splash of complementary color.

The flower girl's pink spray rose kissing ball.

The reception was held at the Coronado Ballroom. The centerpieces were a combination of high and low arrangements to help add even more show to the room.

The taller centerpieces were tall trumpet vases with white and mango callas, bells of Ireland, coral glads, and curly willow.



The short arrangements were in a cube vase and included green hydrangea, cherry brandy roses, coral spray roses, and waxflower.

Best wishes to Emily and Joe! It was a pleasure working with you!
