Sleek Purples at the Palladium

Sarah and Adam were married this past August. Here are some fantastic pictures by Artisan of their day. Special thanks to Sabrina and the staff at Proposing Dreams for coordinating it all and making it flawless!



Sarah's bouquet was a mix of purples including callas, orchids, roses, and stock. It's linear and asymmetrical shape as very modern and sleek.

The reception at the Palladium used the same purple scheme from the ceremony.

Three different yet complimentary centerpieces decorated the guest tables.

Best wishes to Sarah and Adam!!

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!!

Lovely Lilacs

Chasity is one of our brides who was married on May 3rd. Take a look at how we used lilacs in her bouquet and tied the lilac color all the way through to the reception.

Chasity's bouquet included lavender hydrangea tucks, purple lilac, white stargazer lilies, lavender roses, and jade berries. What a perfect combination for spring!

The bridesmaids' bouquets carried through the lavender/lilac color with the added touch of orange spray roses and the jade berries from the bridal bouquet.

The purples and oranges made a great contrast for all the wedding party flowers.


Lavender hydrangea clusters lined the aisle at UMSL Provincial Chapel.

The hydrangea clusters helped give the gorgeous bride a grand entrance.

The altar was framed by two trumpet vases filled with all the wedding flowers; hydrangea, roses, berries, etc.

Purple, orange, and green were seen again at the reception.

Two different centerpieces were used on the guest tables. Half were these tall trumpet vases with tall curly willow and lavender hydrangea at the the base.

The other half had these low arrangements with green hydrangea, purple roses, and orange spray roses.

Thanks to Sabrina with Proposing Dreams for coordinating yet another beautiful event! Wishes of happiness to the bride and groom from all of us at Sisters!!

Last weekend's snapshots

Here are some pictures of the bouquets from last weekend that we took before delivery:

This was a beautiful bridal bouquet in true fall color and style. Deep royal purples (lisianthus, stock, and mini callas) and reds (roses, coxcomb) made a rich, lush arrangement to be admired by all! It was seasonal, but still very romantic!

Here is an example of using fall seasonal flowers without having an autumn theme. This bridesmaid's bouquet has a background of green hydrangea and berries with pink roses and dahlias. Dahlias are a fall flower that come in a large range of colors from oranges and reds to pinks and whites. They are a great for use in lush, garden-y arrangements.

Here comes the bridal bouquet! What an awesome combination of the pink dahlias with ivory roses and hydrangea, accented with pearled stephanotis. So bridal and elegant!

Cool Color Schemes

It seems like one of the new trends in wedding color schemes is cool colors. We have seen many different shades of purples and blue lately, so here are just a few ideas of flowers to compliment that look.

Here is an example of a bouquet of mixed purple and green. The purple hydrangea and lisianthus accented by the greens berries complimented the bridesmaids' dressed well. (Photo by T. Kratzer Photography)

This snapshot we took of a box of bridesmaids' flowers shows how different shades of purple can be incorporated in the flowers. Different shades help to highlight the textures of each individual flower.

If blue is the cool color accent you are looking for, there are fewer choices of specific types of flowers available. However, don't let that discourage you. Hydrangea, delphinium, tweedia, muscari, and limonium are just a few blue flowers that may be an option, depending on the time of year.

These shots taken at our shop showcase a bridal bouquet of whites accented by blue tweedia.

Again, here is an example of little blue touches in a bouquet. The blue in this shot is muscari.

This bouquet mixes both the purples and the blues with whites, ivories, and champagnes. (Photo by Lace)

Unique, Unusual and Awesome bouquets

These bouquets use ordinary flowers in very unique ways. They were beautiful and awesome, just like the ladies that picked them........

This round, hand-tied bouquet of phaelenopsis orchids, pink nerene lilies, and white hydrangea really combined texture and drama to create a unique look for the bride.

This tear-drop cascade bouquet with pink roses, cymbidium orchids, hydrangea, lily grass, and jade berries was the perfect bouquet for this laid-back, garden style wedding.

Here are the cymbidium orchids again, this time in a round, hand-tied look. Even though orchids don't have long stems, we created that illusion for this bouquet.

This bridal bouquet had a very soft, romantic look. It is all white lisianthus, clustered together to create this lush, hand-tied bouquet. It took about 30-40 stems of lisianthus!

This bouquet of purple lisianthus was the bridesmaids' bouquet for the white lisi bride. All soft, delicate flowers for a gorgeous wedding day.
