Danielle & Joe - Going for Gold!

There were several different aspects to Danielle and Joe's wedding.  First the colors of gold, purple, and white were the color palette that Danielle used.  Second, she focused on several "collections" which very much personalized her wedding.  She collected small goblets and wine glasses with gold trays to use for some of her centerpieces.  There was a collection of scotch bottles used on the cocktail tables.  And bourbon bottles were displayed on the placecard table.  All of these were meaningful to her.

Danielle wanted a loose bouquet made up mostly of greens.  I added large white roses - some with gold pins in the center - and freesia to the mix.  I was so pleased with how this turned out.  And making it even more special was that Danielle's grandmom insisted on paying for it.  How sweet! 
I love that bridesmaids carried long, arm bouquets of beautiful larkspur which come in white, purple, and lavender.  How perfect and natural looking.  Groomsmen wore boutonnieres of purple carnations.
We make the most adorable "wands" for our flower girls out of tulle, ribbon, and silk flowers.  This one featured a white silk rose and gold and white ribbon.
The birch arch was draped in fabric to form a chuppah.  We added a spray of greens, Baby's Breath, and three shades of larkspur to the front.
Danielle's special scotch bottles on the cocktail tables were all different and filled with purple carnations and Baby's Breath.
Bourbon bottles were filled with white hydrangea and gold beading for sitting among the placecards and wedding pictures.  Sorry about my flash in the photo.

For half of the guest tables I filled gold containers with a mass of various white flowers.  If you look closely, I sprayed some leaves gold to put color among the flowers.
On the other half of the tables I used Danielle's collection of small, pretty wine and cordial glasses on gold trays.  Each table was different.  I filled the small glasses with small flowers such as spray roses and spray carnations.  What a unique idea!
Finally, Danielle found two really pretty gold containers to use on her sweetheart which I filled with hydrangea and spray roses.  It added the perfect finishing touch to the room
Thank you to Danielle and Joe for having some very unique ideas for your wedding decor.  It made my job so much fun.  And you were so easy to work with.  May you live a long and happy life together.

One last fun photo to share with others is the farm table at the top of the stairs at The Barn on Bridge decorated by Danielle.  Please check out the wooden liquor box that held gift cards and the tambourine to be signed by guests.  So different!
