Floral Fireworks for my Daughter's Wedding

Here are some of the gorgeous flowers I had the joy to work with in putting together over 24 arrangements, one bridal bouquet, 7 corsages, 9 boutonnieres for my daughter's wedding the end of August. The colors were brown, white and citrus, with an emphasis on lime green and orange. Brown was picked up with manzanita branches and the white came mostly from dahlias & paniculata hydrangeas. The oranges came from rudbeckias, dahlias & crocosmia. Lime green came from limelight hydrangeas, bells of ireland, golden lonicera, golden cotinus, and monterrey cyprus, The next posting will show the finished products. Transporting them in two SUV's was a challenge. But my brilliant designer son figured out how to bungie-cord plastic crates and square buckets together to hold the vases. I worked late into the night under the tent but it sure was fun. Flowers were picked from 4 gardens in the area plus more from an area wholesale floral warehouse.
