A Rockin' Rehearsal Dinner

This was pretty much the most unique and awesome rehearsal dinner that we have ever helped with!! These snapshots were taken this past Friday in the Wine Room at the Ritz Carlton in Clayton. Our bride and groom, Lorraine and Venson, had a creative way to tie their first date (at a concert) to their rehearsal dinner--use a few of Venson's guitars from his collection and make them rotate on a bed of flowers! Easy enough!



Venson provided us with the rotating pedestals (and the guitars and stands, of course) and we went to work creating the look they wanted. We used 18" wreaths packed with red carnations and black magic roses to make a mound of red flowers for the guitars to "float" on. Then, we covered the top of the pedestal with a thick bed of rose petals. Take a look at the result!!

Notice the other guitars in the background. Each table was different and each guitar was later embellished by the groom with pictures of family and friends.







This was a truly unique and personalized event! An awesome party for an awesome couple!! We did the flowers the next day for the wedding, so stay tuned!!

Hair Flowers

Hair flowers are an accessory that seems to be gaining in popularity once again. Lots of different flowers and colors are available depending on your wedding season. Here are a few ideas and examples of hair flowers we have done.

Orchids work very well for hair flowers. They come in a variety of sizes and colors and are very hardy for use all day long. (Cymbidium orchid bloom shown here.)

A single cymbidium orchid bloom makes a great flower for your hair. It's large bloom really makes a statement.





More traditional hair flowers include tea or spray roses. They can be used as single flowers......

.....or in a cluster of a few blooms.

Stephanotis are a great white flower to add to your hair. They are small, but are still very bridal.

Of course, there is always hair flowers for other wedding party members, including the always adorable flower girls. These little princesses had colorful head wreaths made of spray roses.

There are lots of different options for hair flowers. They can make a great addition to your hair style. A few simple flowers can be a fun addition at the reception or in place of your veil. Ask us for other suggestions at your flower consultation!!
