Pink and Damask

This weekend's wedding turned out to be such a fun and beautiful event!  The setting was the Town and Country Club in St. Paul, which was lovely and warm.  They had a lot of dark wood and fireplaces, etc.  A very pretty place for a wedding.  Katie loves pink, and that definitely shines throughout all of our designs.  We used at least 10-12 different types of roses - light pink, medium pink, hot pink, pink with ivory edges, ivory with pink edges, ivory, pink garden roses, etc...and that doesn't even include the spray roses.  Big ones, small ones, medium-sized ones...as well as bunches of other types of flowers too.  It was a pink extravaganza!  

Heather from Until it Looks Right ( http://untilitlooksright.com/) did a great job with the wedding planning and getting details taken care of at the venue.  It was a pleasure working with her!

Here's a peek of some of our flowers - professional photos to hopefully come soon!

Here is a top view of the bridal bouquet.  I don't have any showing the stems, but they were covered with ivory satin and sheer and had some "bling" ribbon at the top and bottom.  This was made up of garden roses, several shades of pink roses, alstromeria, wax flower, etc.

The bridesmaid's bouquets had no garden roses and some darker pink tones with the spray roses (the medium pink Lydia spray roses are some of my favorites!).  Then we also added some light pink stock and ivory roses to the bridesmaid's bouquets.  Their stems were covered in light pink satin and sheer and the bling ribbon at the top and bottom.

Their ceremony was held outside on the grounds in an open area, which was an empty canvas.  We added some of the following:

Aisle flowers - on every other row, we put a little aisle decoration of dark fuchsia stock, white larkspur, a light pink rose, a light pinkish/purple rose, and a white and pink cymbidium orchid. 

We used our urns filled with lots of bright pink glads, light pink stock, white and pink larkspur, and white delphinium with some greens for the ceremony arrangements.

Here's the aisle with some of the hot pink and ivory rose petals along the edges.

The whole thing put together

Then it was into the club for the reception.  We did three different centerpieces - the first one was a tall and wide cylinder vase with light pink and damask ribbon around the base, some gorgeous hot pink mokara orchids, and some votives with a little bit of the damask around the base.

The second centerpiece was a mix of three different vases - all with floating candles, one with lily grass, one with floating crystal garland, and one with floating crystals and spray roses.  We used a medium pink ribbon and bling ribbon and globe votives to complete the look.

Then the third design was the tall pilsner vase with floating crystal garland and some damask ribbon with a topper of a mix of light pink hydrangea, many different kinds and shades of roses, alstromeria, spray roses, stock, lisianthus, football mums, etc.  We used silver votives around the base.

The head table was sprinkled with petals and we added mercury glass votives.  The girls' bouquets would be added later on.

and then...my personal favorite.  The cake!  We used a mix of dendrobium orchids, cymbidium orchids, pink roses, and white spray roses to make a little waterfall of flowers down the cake.  The scrollwork on the cake was really pretty!  Globe votives and petals were placed around the cake.

A big thank you to Katie and Trent for letting me help with their beautiful wedding!
