Phillip wanted his boutonniere to stand out. So to get away from the white stephanotis - I painted them hot pink, added green pins and a bright orange spray rose.
Bridesmaids carried short bouquets made up of lime green button mums, orange tigerlilies and hot pink filler. Groomsmen wore pocket squares. I think adding boutonnieres to those was too much!
All my brides are given a questionnaire to fill out. One of my questions I ask is to find out if they have any hobbies/talent and if they do, I try to put them to work on their wedding. Nothing says personalization like a bride's DIY project. On Heather's questionnaire, she mentioned that she knit - which led me to a fun idea - yarnbombing! I explained to her what I wanted and she carried through on the project. I had Heather knit hot pink and orange striped tubes to go around glass cylinders from the Dollar Store. I used either deep pink or orange alstromeria in each vase. Heather told me that her guests absolutely loved these! I think they were adorable! Such a personal touch.
Phillip's favorite flower is Bird of Paradise - perfect for a large, brightly colored placecard table piece in a hot pink vase! I also used these fun colored "shot glass" holders to put even more color on the table.
We used two types of centerpieces for this wedding - one with flowers in one container and the second with flowers spread out in smaller, brightly colored bud vases. I sent Heather out to shop for the round mats to anchor the flowers.
I had these cute colored tealight holders that I thought would look perfect on the sweetheart table alternating with some more bottles of flowers. Just the right "frame" for the table.
And of course we had to make the toss bouquet as bright as the rest of the flowers in the room. What a fun wedding to work on and a fun couple to work with. Congratulations!!
