Katie and Dyer

It was such a pleasure to be a part of Katie and Dyer's wedding!  We have known Katie and her family since our girls were in elementary school together long ago...they continued on through high school and even college together!  We didn't know Dyer before the day of the wedding, but he was very warm and made us feel welcome instantly.  We were so happy to share in their happy day!  Even though the weather was a little bit on the rainy side, Katie's flower colors shined through to make it bright and sunny inside!  Katie chose to have a mango-orange and bright yellow theme. Her bridesmaid's dresses were yellow, so we focused mainly on the oranges with the flowers.  Katie came in with a definite plan for the majority of the flowers and hopefully we did them justice!  I can't wait to get some of the professional photos to share with everyone, but until then, I had a few photos that I wanted to put on the blog to share.  The ceremony was held at St. John The Baptist Church, in Savage, MN.  Father Tix and Tina are always great to work with!  The reception was held at The Wilds in Prior Lake, MN.  It's a lovely place for a reception and Shannon is awesome to work with in the planning stages.  The waitresses at the end of the evening helped us clear everything out of there - so a huge thank you to everyone at The Wilds...and thanks again to Katie and her family for letting us share their day :)

Here's a peek at the bridal bouquet before I put the wrap on it.  It was a combination of white mini-callas, white polar star roses, mango mini-callas, circus roses, bi-color orange and yellow parrot tulips, yellow french tulips, white wax flower, and variegated pittosporum.

Here are the bridesmaid's bouquets before the wraps were put on them.  We used circus roses, orange tulips,  yellow Sonrisa roses, mango mini-callas, bi-color yellow and orange parrot tulips, and variegated pittosporum.

Here is an example of one of the pew markers.  We had a circus rose, an orange Miracle rose, a yellow Sonrisa rose, some wax flower and some variegated pittosporum with a sheer orange ribbon hanging down.

Here is a look down the aisle. I'm definitely not the best photographer out there!  Hopefully you can at least get a little idea of the kissing balls in front of the altar and the aisle/pew marker flowers.

Here's a little bit closer photo of the kissing balls made with yellow and orange carnations...set on vases with clear stones and water.

Here's a look at one of the table decorations at the reception.  We did three varying heights of vases.  One with bright orange mokara orchids and clear stones, one with lily grass, a floating candle, and clear stones, as well as one with a yellow tulip, orange tulip, bi-color yellow and orange tulip, and clear stones.  We added some votives and rose petals.  Katie and her mom provided the bright orange and yellow tulle for the tables to use in the place of a table runner.  On the other half of the tables, we had a square vase filled with loads of orange, yellow, and bicolor tulips.

Thanks again, Katie and Dyer, for letting us share in your wonderful day! I'll add an update to the post when we get some of the professional photos.
