Peach Mill City Museum Wedding

I can't even tell you how much fun I had doing Shanna and Colby's wedding!  The Mill City Museum is such a beautiful venue and the people there are great to work with.  Here's just a sneak peek of some of my photos.  The professional photos are going to be to die for, since Kate Botwinski did them - there are no words to describe how awesome Kate and Sam are!  Check out Kate's sneak peek of the wedding at:

Anyway...here's a little peek of what we did...

Shanna did the reverse of what most bride's do and had more contrast in her bouquet with more color.  We stuck with mainly peach Juliet garden roses, peach stock, peach Versilia roses, some white garden roses, white lisianthus, a few white mums, white hydrangea, some Ilse coral spray roses, some dusty miller, some fun eccheveria succulents, etc.





We added some ivory lace around the base and a brooch.


The bridesmaids had more white in their bouquets, but essentially the same mix of flowers in white, with a little wax flower, some variegated pitt, standard mums, and no succulents.




For the ceremony, we did two large arrangements with curly willow, hydrangea, peach stock, white glads, and white and pink larkspur.  You can see one of them in this picture.


We did three different arrangements for the reception tables.  We did a tall vase with a mix of the bouquet flowers, a pedestal vase with the same mix of flowers, and a smaller mercury glass vase with peach and white snapdragons, a touch of curly willow, and larkspur.  Accents throughout were silver mercury glass votives.







We also added succulents on some cocktail tables, around the cake, the guest book table, and along the head table between the bouquets in vases.

Wedding at The Wilds in Prior Lake

Here are some of my photos taken of a wedding we recently did where the wedding was held at Pax Christi Church in Eden Prairie, and the reception was held at The Wilds in Prior Lake.  The bride wanted peaches, whites, yellows, and greens for most of the decor.  

The bridal bouquet was more muted than the bridesmaid's bouquets.  We used a soft mauve kind of rose along with dahlias, mums, ivory roses and garden roses, lisianthus, stock and hydrangea.



The bridesmaids carried brighter bouquets of mixes of pastels.  We used beautiful peach Juliet garden roses, hydrangea, mums, tulips, lisianthus, light pink, yellow, and peach spray roses, peach roses, dusty miller, green viburnum, white and yellow stock, etc.  





Here is a remembrance arrangement we did...it had peach garden roses and roses, peach and coral spray roses, white and yellow stock, as well as variegated pittosporum.


Another remembrance arrangement we did was orange lilies.


We did very simple arrangements for the reception venue.  We had two different types of centerpieces.  One was just curly willow and twigs in river rock with floating candles.  The other is wine bottles with mixes of whites/yellows/greens.






And then we just added a few extras around the venue for additional flower touches.

Corporate Retirement Party

We recently did a corporate retirement party at the Saint Paul Hotel, which was a lot of fun!  We did several different arrangements, all in square vases and red.  We used black and white accents with ribbon, etc.  Here are some pics we took.

Saint Paul Hotel Wedding - Professional Pics

Here are some of the gorgeous professional photos of Rachel and Fred's wedding from this past December...all ivories and golds...beautiful!

Photos were taken by Gina Zeidler at http://ginazeidler.com/blog.  

Rachel wanted all soft ivories for the flowers.  We did mixes of hydrangea, stock, sweet peas, mini-callas, freesia, mums, fringed white tulips, and glads.  The glads were the main flowers and a theme throughout the wedding because of a special meaning to the bride.





Here are some of the centerpieces - we used the brides gold vases, votives, etc, and kept the ivory theme going with our flowers. Gold chargers and chairs, as well as gold and ivory patterned linens added so much to the room.

What a gorgeous venue!  Very classy and elegant.  For the centerpieces, we did three different styles - some were all glads, some were a mix of white delphinium and larkspur, and some were just larkspur.




Warehouse Winery Wedding

I got the chance to help out with a small fun wedding in St. Louis Park this past February.  It was at a place called The Warehouse Winery.  It was a fun eclectic little winery that had a lot of character.  Here are some of our photos.  She wanted raspberry tones in the flowers, so we went with a pink, lavender, and raspberry bouquet.  We added little touches of flowers throughout the venue...

The bouquet was a mix of roses, spray roses, ranunculus, wax flower and ruscus.




For their guest book, they had wine bottles with large labels on them for the guests to sign.  We added some floating candles and flowers to the table.


Throughout the rest of the venue, we just added petals, votives, and other little bud vases with flowers.
