Four Different Bouquets

These are some great examples of different styles bouquets can have. We designed recently these for a wedding show we did at Scott Air Force Base.




The bouquet on the bottom right is a more contemporary and sleek look. It is simple, all white callas wrapped into a clutch.




This mixed bouquet has lots of texture in each individual flower to bring interest to the whole. It has orange spray roses, ivory stock, and purple dahlias.

This is a more traditional look using Esperance roses and white mini cymbidium orchids to accent. It is very lush and romantic!

This hydrangea and rose bouquet has a very gardeny look. It differs from the "normal" bouquet in that the shades of colors are more "clumped" together to make each one stand out.

All four bouquets have their own distinct characteristics. Often, it's just personal style preference that chooses which type is best for a specific event.

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!

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!!

Lindsay's Bouquet

This young lady was a great pleasure to work with. Here is Lindsay with her vintage-looking bouquet. It was shades of champagne and antique green with roses, hydrangea, and pearled stephanotis.


Thanks to CLC Photography for these awesome shots.

Best wishes, Lindsay! You were such a beautiful bride!

Yellow, Blue, and Books

October was a busy month at Sisters. This wedding was a highlight for us. Jazzy and Brian were married on October 10th. They had their ceremony at the Jewel Box and their reception at the City Museum. Here are some awesome detail shots from Burns Photography.

Jazzy's bouquet was blue and white--hydrangeas, roses, and a dragonfly pin.

Yellow was the accent color used in the bridesmaids' bouquets and on the chuppah.

The guys all had mini calla bouts.--white for the groom and yellow for the groomsmen.

The head table was lined with yellow and white flowers over the blue table runners.

Tall and short centerpieces decorated the guest tables.

And here's where the books come in.....various yellow books were stacked underneath blue cubes of yellow flowers on some of the guest tables.

Tall spheres of blue and white flowers topped trumpet vases on the opposite guest tables.

Yellow and white flowers accompanied this bright cake.

Special thanks to Shayna of St. Louis Wedding Consultants for coordinating this bright and unique event!!

Best wishes to Jazzy and Brian for a wonderful first year together and many more to come!

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!!
