This wedding is especially close to my heart, as it is the wedding of my daughter and her husband! They got married in May of last year when the trees were blooming, the weather was beautiful, and their bright corals and silvers made for an absolutely beautiful wedding day. While doing all the flowers for the wedding day was a little bit stressful, I had a bunch of help with set up and take down and everything went very smoothly.
The ceremony took place at our church - St. John the Baptist, in Savage, MN. The reception was held at The Wilds, in Prior Lake, MN. Having worked with both before, it was no surprise that everything went according to plan and we had a perfect day! The Wilds provided an excellent setting and meal and we couldn't have asked for anything better. We were also lucky enough to have the beautiful and awesome Kate and Sam Botwinski (www.katebotwinskiphotography.com, www.facebook.com/katebotwinskiphotography - we love them so much!) there to give us such special photos to remember all the details and love of the day.
Here are some of the beautiful photos...
This is one of my favorites with the blooming trees in the background. Meg wanted mostly phalaenopsis orchids in her bouquet with a touch of the pinks, peaches, and corals in the background, so we had some pink peonies, coral and pink roses, spray roses, and mini-carnations underneath the phalaenopsis orchids to peek through with a little bit of color. She wore some coral spray roses in her hair and Jared had a white phalaenopsis orchid as his bout.
The bridesmaids had bouquets of white hydrangea, coral, peach, and pink spray roses.
The groomsmen and ushers had spray rose bouts in either coral and white or all white.
Here is the church - St. John The Baptist in Savage, MN. We had some floral accents on some of the pews along the aisle and then simple arrangements of manzanita branches with orchid heads in front of the altar.
The aisle flowers were larkspur, stock, roses, and spray roses with a touch of variegated pittosporum and silver ribbon.
Then the reception was held at the gorgeous golf club "The Wilds" in Prior Lake, MN. Here are some of the details from the reception...
We had several different types of centerpieces to keep things interesting and a bit more cost effective. The first was a pedestal vase with white hydrangea, roses in coral, pink, and peach, garden roses, spray roses, and variegated pittosporum. We added silver and clear votives and silver table runners
The second type was a pedestal vase with floating silver and white candles, clear stones, and clear and silver votives, as well as silver table runners.
The third style was a tall arrangement in a pilsner vase of curly willow, larkspur and stock in pinks, whites, and corals. Again with silver table runners and silver and clear votives.
The fourth type was a tall square vase with a few phalaenopsis orchids submerged and a silver floating candle, as well as silver runners, and silver votives.
and the last kind was silver lanterns filled with some roses and spray roses, as well as some greens. We had lots of silver and clear candles surrounding the lantern and silver table runners.
The head table had the bouquets placed along the table and some accents of pink and ivory astilbe in bud vases, as well as sequined silver runners and crystal votives.
You can see a bridesmaid's bouquet a little closer here with the silver wrap shown as well.
We added lots of spray roses to the cake and a cute topper. We also surrounded the cake with clusters of silver votives.
In the outer areas, we had a guestbook table, placecard table, and a remembrance table.
The guestbook table and placecard table had votives lined along the back and some extra florals in bud vases and bottles, as well as sequined silver table runners.
The remembrance bouquet was used at both the church and on the remembrance table at the reception. We laid out some orchid heads here and there, as well.
And here is just one of my favorite photos of the happy couple :)
