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!!

May Wedding at Cafe DeMenil

Nancy and Kent were married this past May at Cafe Demenil. Here are some shots of their flowers and ceremony taken by PhotoJennic Photography.

The bouquets were very garden-y mixes of gerbers and roses. The bridal bouquet (above) had white and ivories tucked in with stephanotis, roses, and waxflower filler. The bridesmaid bouquet (below) added some fun orange spray roses to the mix.

The bride and groom's children were a very special part of the ceremony.

Best wishes to the happy family!

Flowers for a wedding show

This past Sunday, we helped out Lacy from Lacy Branch Events with flower decor for her booth at a local wedding show. Here are pictures that Lacy took of her awesome booth!!

Lacy brought us inspiration pictures to give us an idea of the kind of look she wanted for her booth. We modified and combined those ideas and came up with this large centerpiece.

The column holding up the large flowers at the top are several stacked cube vases with pink cymbidium orchids inside.

The top arrangement is full of bright pink roses, white hydrangea, seeded eucalyptus, and white ostrich feathers.

Lacy added all kinds of details (crystals, lights, candles, etc.) to give her whole table one fluid style. Read more about her design ideas on her blog! (http://www.lacybranchevents.blogspot.com/)

Thanks, Lacy, for letting us be a part of your wedding show design!!

Two Unique Flowers

Two flowers that are both unique and beautiful are phalaenopsis orchids and nerene lilies. Kim, one of our bride's chose to use both in her wedding flowers. Here are some shots by Artistic View Photography.

The bridal bouquet was a mixture of white phalaenopsis orchids and pink nerene lilies with a white hydrangea background. The orchids are such a seemingly light and elegant flower, while still exotic.

The bridesmaids' carried round bouquets for white ranunculus and pink nerene lilies. The flowers contrast each other well in color and shape to add a lot of texture to the arrangement.

Best wishes to the bride and groom!!

Snapshots from our bride....

Here is a preview of the wedding of Kim & Chris. They sent us these cute snapshots of their fun, fall day in October.

Kim and her girls. Kim carried sahara roses and pearled stephanotis. The bridesmaids had hot pink rose and stargazer lilies.















Just married......

(Notice the cute pink wreaths on the aisle. They were used to mark the family pews.)









The whole, happy wedding party.

The centerpieces were tall trumpet vases with hot pink gladiolus with bronze alstromeria lilies.

Our best wishes to Kim and Chris!!

A special thanks to our "happy bride" for sending us these pictures!!

Two Pink weddings

Here are some professional shots of two weddings that Sisters did this year. One was this past summer and the other was just last month. Take a look!!

Sara & Aaron

Sara and Aaron had a beautiful wedding ceremony and reception at the Butterfly House.

All of the flowers were shades of bright and light pinks.

The bride carried bright pink and ivory roses, light pink spray roses, and green hydrangea. The bridesmaids carried the same bright pink roses and light pink spray roses with an accent of pink mini callas.



And here are the guys. All dressed up and looking good!! We have realized that perhaps we don't feature the guys quite as much as we should. After all, as much as we girls focus on all of the details, there would be no wedding without the boys!!

Small bouquets (or tussies) are the new trend for moms. This mom is carrying a few bright roses and looks beautiful doing it! (Lots of moms tell us that carrying their flowers gives them something to do with their hands while walking down the aisle!!)

For the ceremony, we decorated the two large pillars on both sides of the bride and groom. This arrangement includes all pinks and ivory to match the wedding party.

The centerpieces at the reception were simple and elegant. Bright dendrobium orchids and lily grass made a statement inside the tent.

Ahh, yes--the cake. Wedding flowers were used to from clusters to decorate this delicious-looking masterpiece. We often say that cake is our second favorite detail at weddings!!

Shannda & Eric

This cute couple had a gorgeous fall day for their wedding.

Shannda's bouquet also had shades of pink roses and green hydrangea. Bouquet jewels were an added detail to the bride and groom's flowers.

Another ode to the guys in the wedding party. Looking good!

The bridesmaids' bouquets really pop against their black dresses.

The bridesmaids carried a smaller version of the bridal bouquet with added green hypericum berries for a very garden-y look.

This long, low piece was used at the ceremony for the unity candle. It was made in three pieces, one large middle piece and two smaller side pieces. At the reception, it was used on the head table to decorate in front of the wedding party.

Thanks to two great couples who made us a part of their day and who shared their pictures with us. Best wishes in your new lives together!!

(If any of our past brides have photos to share, we would love to use them for out blog!! Please contact us and let us know if you have any to send!!)
