Bright and Happy

That describes both the bride and the flowers at this wedding!! Lisa and Kevin were married in September. They had a bright, gorgeous day and we got to help with the flowers. Here are some awesome shots of the day by one of our favorite photo artists Clark+Walker Photography.



Lisa's bouquet was a soft, feminine mix of white, ivory, and pink. The bridesmaids had bright fall mixed bouquets with color that jumped right off of their black dresses!

We love the pink in the shoes and the flowers!

There's nothing cuter than a furry friend in your wedding photos!

Bright flowers made another appearance at Lumen for the reception.

Sincere best wishes to Lisa and Kevin! It was a blast helping you with your special day!!

Bright Colors at Kemp Auto Museum

This past July, bright colors were the name of the game here at Sisters. Check out this show-stopping color scheme for mid-summer at the Kemp Auto Museum.

The bridal bouquet (above) and the bridesmaids' bouquets (below) all had pops of greens, oranges, corals and yellows. The bride accented her flowers with white, pearled stephanotis.

The aisle at the ceremony was decorated with these bright clusters of wedding flowers. They were used later in pairs as short centerpieces at the reception.

Tall, colorful vases of mixed summer flowers jumped out against the black linens and floors of the Kemp.

These vases were prepared with thin, turquoise wire to be used with the aisle decorations as centerpieces.

We think the flowers make the cars look pretty, too! :)

The Kemp is such a great venue for color! Such a refreshing summer color scheme!

Bright and Fresh

This wedding had such a refreshing seasonal feel for early summer. Crisp whites, yellows and greens were the main colors.




These bouquets, in the window at the church, were what the bridesmaids carried. The bridal bouquet- held below by a bridesmaid- had the same flowers but with added green cymbidium orchids.

We think all of our brides are gorgeous!

The guys' bouts. were a mix of green hypericum berries and yellow solidago.

The centerpieces at the City Museum were a mix of high and low arrangements. The tall vases included hanging votives that added an extra ambiance once the lights were dimmed.

Lush Greenery

Recent trends in flowers for weddings and parties have been leaning more towards clean lines and very little, if any, greenery. While that look can be very beautiful and classic, here is an example of how greenery can be used in fun, unique, and interesting ways.

Laura and Robert were married in September at UMSL Provincial Chapel. Laura LOVED texture and greenery. She wanted all of her bouquets to be lush with greenery and minimalistic on the flower blooms.

The bridal bouquet included white dendrobium orchids, white lilies, white freesia, and waxflower filler. The different types of greenery really made the whole bouquet comes together. We used variegated pitt, fern, and variegated hosta leaves. The brown, curly accents, or monkey tail, really added even more interest to the already texture rich bouquet.

The bridesmaids' bouquets were very similar to the bridal bouquet. They used lots of mixed greenery and monkey tail as well as minimal white flowers.

At the church, different types of greenery, including variegated hosta leaves and Italian ruscus, were clustered to decorate the pews.

The reception was held at Greenbriar Hills Country Club. All the table decorations were rustic-looking urns filled to the brim with lush greens of all shapes and textures, with a little white filler accent.

The urns included several different types of greenery--variegated pitt and hosta leaves, Italian ruscus, magnolia leaves, fern, lily grass, and hanging amaranthus. More monkey tail and lotus pods were used to bring in brown accents.

We had a lot of fun designing the pieces for this wedding! It was so great to incorporate greenery in unusual ways to give the whole wedding a very earthy and gardeny look!

Best wishes to Laura and Robert!!

More Pictures of a Summery Wedding

Here are some snapshots a wedding we did back on August 1st and blogged about earlier. This wedding had an outdoor reception at the bride's house with very summer-y colors.

The bridal bouquet was a garden-y mix of ivory roses, white mini callas, yellow freesia, purple filler, buplerum, and white cattaleya orchids.

The aisle was decorated with two different kinds of flowers arrangements--these flower clusters.....

......and these flower balls.

The altar was lined with this bright, mixed arrangement.

All the flowers at the church were taken to the bride's home, where the reception was held, to be used again.

The bridesmaids' flowers were circus roses, yellow roses, purple filler, and white iris.

What a beautiful bride!

The reception, held in the backyard under a tent, was bright and colorful like the ceremony. Each guest table had three different vases with three different types of flowers in wedding colors.

What a fun reception!!

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!
