Kelly and Josh - It's all Happening at the Zoo!

I love working at the Elmwood Park Zoo and was delighted when Kelly asked me to work on her wedding there.  Kelly chose a white color palette with metallic accents of gold and silver.  There are lots of fun ways to add those colors to a wedding.

Kelly wanted white flowers so I used white roses and calla lilies with accents of silver pins within her French braided stem wrap, silver painted ruscus, and flower shaped silver pins among the flowers.  Josh wore a matching calla lily.

Bridesmaids also carried white bouquets made up of white roses, white waxflower, and silver painted ruscus.  I use textured silver wire over their white satin ribbon wrap.  Groomsmen boutonnieres were made up of white roses.

We made large white arrangements for church and mint julep cups of gold or silver filled with white hydrangea for the aisle.

At the zoo itself, we painted a manzanita branch gold for the placecard table.  The couple gave me gold and silver origami animals to hang from the branches along with a few crystals.

Kelly chose to use candle based centerpieces on her guest tables.  I placed various sized pillars on either gold or silver chargers filled with white rose petals.  Kelly had animals placed around the table at each guest's spot.

Vases were waiting to be filled with the bridal party bouquets on the large mantle at the zoo.  Thank you to Kelly and Joel for having me be a part of your special day.  Congratulations!
