Coral Wedding

Coral, emerged as a popular 2014 summer wedding color. That perfect blend between pink and orange produces a hue that is fun and flirty. Throw in a little gray and oodles of crisp clean whites, and you have just mixed up a concoction of fabulous.

My little crew and I clocked in a gizillion hours for a June 2014 coral wedding. Working with an eclectic mix of decorations, a fabulous bride, and a coral and chevron theme proved to be a time of smiles and giggles.

How could we not smile watching the faces of the bride and groom, as they saw this for the first time:

I expect coral to be a "go to" wedding color for awhile. It just makes exudes happy.

Wedding Reception Part 2

The bride and groom went on a Caribbean honeymoon, so my huge collection of seashells found their way into large glass vases. I am fascinated by the array of whites, creams, and blush colors of seashells, not to mention the textures.

 At the wedding, the beautiful bride wore an elegant gown of lace  with sparkles, so added to the seashells was a little vintage ba-da bling from my jewelry box. It's the "use what you have" decorating style. 

Adding real white roses to the arrangements provided for an elegant and cohesive feel. I didn't want a bright pop of color that would take away from the seashells, and picture displays. The roses were tucked inside small vase, placed in the larger vase. Yes, a vase in a vase.

Silver candleabras and mercury glass candle holders were added to some of the tables, another touch of elegance. Every table did not look exactly the same. For me, it adds interest, and again....use what you have.

Have a blessed week,
Ele

Wedding Flowers

It's been a busy week. I, along with two wonderful helpers, put together wedding bouquets, arrangements, corsages, and boutonnieres with 175 white and red roses. The brides bouquet had white roses in the center.

Bridesmaids bouquets were lush with red roses.

The reception was centered around a nature theme. We put miniature roses and leather leaf on the tables.
Love this cake.

Oil lamps made of beautiful rocks carried on the nature theme.

Blessings,

Ele
