Peonies in July!

We've blogged about it before, but sometimes the unexpected really does happen!! Robin, a sweet bride of ours, who married Paul in July, really wanted peonies in her bouquet. We told her we couldn't promise anything, since the July heat makes them nearly impossible to get. When the white peonies showed up at our studio, we were in awe! We had managed to get them in and they looked awesome! We were so happy to make that part of Robin's dream wedding day come true. Here are more pictures from Robin and Paul's special day. (Thanks to Von Devore Photography for these beautiful shots!)





Roses and peonies were what Robin envisioned for her bouquet.

Robin and Shayna, from St. Louis Wedding Consultants. We worked closely with Shayna to put details together for Robin's wedding.

Why is it that guys always look cuter in tuxes?? :)

The reception at Kemoll's used lots of red for a romantic feel. We provided tall vases full of red makara orchids and curly willow at half of the guest tables.

More red orchids for the cake!

We can't always promise a flower miracle here at Sisters, but we always try to make this possible. Sometimes, when we need a little luck, the flower gods smile on us! Best wishes to Paul and Robin!!!

Texture with dahlias and hydrangea

This September wedding of Kelley and Justin took place at St. Agatha's in Soulard and Lemp Mansion. These flowers are great examples of how texture can really bring added interest to bouquets. Notice how the different shapes and sizes of flowers really bring your eye in to see everything in the bouquets. Thanks to Lace for these beautifully detailed photos.

The bridal and bridesmaids' bouquets incorporated dark purples, blues, red, and greens for a very rich color palate.

Open roses, hydrangea, sedum, berries and dahlias all played a part in the lushness of Kelley's bouquet. Each flower added a unique element to the whole.

Simply gorgeous!

White cymbidiums were also worn as hair flowers.

The guys wore red spray roses with a little purple accent to match the girls.

The cake was decorated with a few dark red dahlias on the top.

The centerpieces were so unique! Five tea tins were decorated by the bride with printed paper for each table. Sisters filled each tin with a cluster of wedding flowers in wedding colors. Each table was different and interesting.






Special thanks to Christy at All Dressed in White for coordinating an awesome event!

All our best to Kelley and Justin!! It was a pleasure working with you!

Reception at Crowne Plaza

Submerged cymbidium orchids in bright green and gold decorated half of the guest tables at this October reception at the Crowne Plaza in Clayton. The other half of the tables had lush, full arrangements of fall flowers including hydrangea, roses, berries, and filler. Take a look at these snapshots that our very own Sister, Chelsea, took at set-up.

June Bride

Let's warm our thoughts from chilly December and think about weddings in June! This happy couple, Christine and Jonathan, tied the knot this past June when it was much, much warmer! They were married at Bethel Lutheran Church with a reception at the Missouri Botanical Gardens, Monsanto Hall. (Photos by Bernie Elking Photography)

Christine's bouquet was a mix of white peonies, light pink and ivory roses. We thought the flowers were as sweet as the bride's smile!!

Christine's make-up artist, Amanda Harris, did a great job highlighting the bride's naturally beautiful features. (Contact Amanda at 314-223-3836)

The bridesmaids carried mixed pink gerber daisy bouquets accented with jade berries.

The aisle at the church was lined with these silver julep cups filled to the top with peonies and roses. These cups were easily transported to the reception and used there to decorate.

The guest tables at Monsanto Hall had tall trumpet vases with curly willow branches, white hydrangea, and light pink roses for a very gardeny look at the gardens!

All our best to the bride, groom, and their lovely families!!

Electric Purple, Fuchsia, and Red

Chrissy and Dave were married this past month at St. George in Afton and had an impressive and beautiful reception at the Electricians Hall. We worked on this wedding with Lacy Branch Events. Lacy and her staff worked seamlessly with the hall and all the vendors to transform the reception space! Take a peek at some of the day's highlights! (Photos by Von Devore Photography.)

The beautiful bride and the charismatic Lacy Branch!

All of the personal flowers were a mix of royal purples, red, and fuchsia. They included roses, gerber daisies, spray roses, hydrangea, and little flower crystals. These bouquets really spotlighted the bride and blended well with the bridesmaids' dresses.

The reception design used the purples, reds, and pinks differently for the tables. Here, the colors were separated-- reds and pinks together, and the purples and lavenders paired.

Some of the centerpieces were taller arrangements in cylinders and others were long and low rectangles and squares.

Lighting was an important element in the hall, so every low centerpiece was illuminated with LEDs to make the tables glow.

The cake was topped with a few gerbers on each layer, but the backdrop of lighting and fabric really made all the difference!

Special thanks to Lacy Branch Events for coordinating this event! As always, we had fun working with you!

Best wishes to Chrissy and Dave and their families!!

St. Francis Xavier and Lumen

Alicia and Chris were married this past September at St. Francis Xavier with a reception at Lumen. Thanks to Aritsan Photography for these gorgeous photos.

The bouquets were beautiful mixes of whites and greens. The all white and ivory bridal bouquet included mini callas, cymbidium orchids, roses, and crystals. The bridesmaids carried ivory roses and green cymbidium orchids with bear grass accents.

These little cuties are one of our favorite parts of the wedding! The little flower girls carried small bouquets of roses, since the church does not allow petals to be thrown.

The bride and groom rented this white box filled with grass from Sisters Flowers. They used it at the entrance of Lumen for their place cards.

Different white flowers for each guest table were chosen to be submerged in tall rectangle vases.

This elaborate cake had green cybidium orchids cascading down the side. The cake stand was also rented from Sisters and was filled with clear rocks, lights, and more orchids.

Special thanks to Sabrina at Proposing Dreams for planning such an awesome event!

Best wishes to the bride and groom!
