Ceremony and Reception at Soulard Preservation Hall

Here is a unique way to use flowers for a ceremony and reception all in one location. Our clients for this event double-used ceremony and guest table flowers to decorate their space. The room was used for the ceremony and then turned over for the reception.

Cube vases filled with white hydrangea lined the stage for the ceremony. Afterwards, they were used for all the guest table decorations.







Julep cups with white hydrangea decorated the chairs at the ceremony and were later used to decorate the reception as well.

Our tall metal trees were set up on the stage to frame the bride and groom for the ceremony. They were left up for the reception and provided decoration in the room.

This was an excellent example of how flowers can be utilized fully at an event. It just takes planning and design work to make it happen seamlessly!

Peacock Feathers

For everyone out there considering using peacock feathers, here is an example of how we incorporated them into bouquets and as decorations at the ceremony and reception. Take a look! (Images by Tim McDermott)

The feathers were used to tied in shades of blue in the bridesmaids' bouquets. They carried white calla lilies, ivory roses, accented with the peacock feathers and looped lily grass.

The bridal bouquet was a fall mix of mini calla lilies, roses, and looped lily grass.

The groom wore a fall calla lily to match his bride.

The other guys wore an ivory rose to match the girls.

The ceremony was held at the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection.

The mothers carried a few fall flowers instead of wearing flowers.

We LOVE grandparents!

A cluster of peacock feathers decorated the end of each pew.

The feather from the pews were used on the backs of the chairs at the reception.

Best wishes to the bride and groom and their families! It was a pleasure working with you!

Little Flower Church and MoBot

This wedding took place in September with a ceremony at Little Flower Church and a reception at the Botanical Gardens. Here are some photos taken by our very own Sisters, Chelsea.






Two large vases of mixed flowers in wedding colors decorated the center aisle at Little Flower. This helped make a distinct center aisle, since this altar is in the center of a circular arrangement of pews.








At the reception, tall and short centerpieces were used on the guest tables. Both used pinks and ivories with garden-y flowers stuck as gerbera daisies, roses, and fillers.

Curly willow was used in both the tall and the short arrangements for a whimsical look and feel.

This was a great example of a more traditional ceremony with a less traditional and unique reception.

Ceremony at St. Francis Xavier

These are some good examples of decorations for a ceremony at St. Francis Xavier Church.

These colorful sprays were used on both sides of the altar.

While we were there setting up, these little darlings showed up for the wedding. Aren't they cute!!

Using Your Containers for Centerpieces

We often have clients who have containers or vases that they would like to use for their receptions. Here is an example of just that. This bride had her reception at Moulin and gave us her own amber glassware to use for the centerpieces. These are the snapshots that we took of the set-up.

We filled the bride's containers with a lush arrangements of purple hydrangea.

We also took shots of the ceremony flowers and bouquets. Pink and purple were the main colors of the day.

We made these "altar" arrangements to frame the bride and groom for the ceremony.

The bride carried this lush, garden bouquet of all white and ivory roses and hydrangea.

The bridesmaids carried hot pink roses with purple filler.



It was a very nice color palette for late summer and we had fun working on this one!!

Continuing the Yellow Theme....

Here is another example of using yellow flowers for a bright, summer-y wedding. These shots were taken by our very own "Sister", Chelsea, at a wedding just a few weeks ago. The wedding was at Central Reform Congregation and the reception was at Ninth Street Abbey. Take a look!!

The bridal bouquet was a bright mix of yellow roses, white freesia, and white waxflower filler.

The entry table at the ceremony had this large, showy arrangement in the wedding colors.

We decorated the CRC's chuppah with yellow clusters of roses.

Vases filled with yellow flowers were placed at the base of the four posts.

The bridesmaids carried yellow roses with white waxflower filler.

The reception had all yellow and white flowers, to carry through the bright colors from the ceremony.

White hydrangea and yellow rose arrangements decorated the guest tables.

Congratulations to Katherine and Sean! We wish you all the best!
