Wedding Pictures

[Mocha Rose]

Well, we had our first big wedding of the year today (AND moved into the new shop this week) and I'm just plain exhausted!!!! I feel out of practice after this long horrible winter with no big events. It didn't help that we spent the whole week trying to figure out what supplies were in what box from the move.

Still I think it turned out great! This was a two day build on site. It was an Enchanted Forest theme with the ceremony and reception in the same room- which meant a room turnover during cocktails. We did the chuppah, the chandeliers, and pretty much everything else. I learned that I grossly undercharged for the chandeliers since they took 8 hours of labor.

The bride wasn't neccessarily on a budget, but since we used the reception centerpieces as the ceremony decor she got a $10,000 look for $5500. I'm really happy with how both the ceremony and reception looked.

It all looks fabulous! You did a great job April.
Love, love, love the color palette.
And be sure to post more pics of your new space on your blog for all of us to see.

Love your work, love all the crystals, where did you get the long strands of crystals? I have been looking for something like that for a while.

Thanks! I've been collecting crystals for the past 4 years and they come from a lot of different sources. For long chains: Jamaili Gardens and for very high quality crystal: www.cristalier.com

Hi Lizi,

Don't know if anybody replied to you or if Ryan fixed it for you. Try this:

At very top of forums, next to profile, click on settings

On left bar, scroll down to General Settings and click on that

Scroll down to Thread settings and make sure the box it checked to display attachments.

Hope that helps!
Linda

Bride sent me picks from a summer wedding just yesterday...She did not send any of the reception, hoping to still get them. They threw rose petals the colors of the bouquets, looked spectacular! Mom dropped off a few pics have not scanned them yet.

Here is a simple wedding I did in March. Cornflower & ivory... the timing was perfect to use one of my favorite flowers - muscari! I think my favorite part of this wedding are the boutonnieres.

 

[Seasonals]

Joan great job in getting all those roses opened perfectly.

 

[Palms]

[Carrieann]

Thanks ladies!

Linda,
Thanks for the info, although it didn't work. The problem has been fixed and now I can see the images. Jennifer you flowers are beautiful. I love cream and blue combos.


Also the attached thumbnail in that post was the one I tried to delete. Was not really supposed to be there, but anyway. Those girls are pregnant, and I just thought it was cute. They didn't know when they were asked to be in the wedding the condition they would be in. Just funny to me.

Thanks, Open was how she wanted them...I did panic a bit when the temp went from 80 all week to hitting 95 that day, and thought maybe I had let them open too much in the shop.

Joan I dont know how i missed those pics, that bridal bouquet is fabulous!! Flowers really stole the show here i think!!

Tomorrow's wedding. I never even met this bride! We did everything over email, and her brother picked up the flowers. She did call to say she loved her bouquets, though... what a relief!


The wedding isn't until tomorrow, but they wanted it all today for photos. I'm biting my nails hoping the lilies don't get completely trashed before the ceremony.
