Prestwick Golf Course Wedding

We recently were privileged to do the flowers for the wedding of Katie and Jason at the Prestwick Golf Course and Woodbury Lutheran Church.  The theme of the day for me was "warmth".  I felt warmth from Katie and Jason the moment I met them and it carried through in their choices of church and reception venues.  Both places were warm and welcoming just like them.  Katie was a joy to be around and was never without a smile on her face. They chose lapis colored bridesmaid's dresses and we focused on a yellow, green and ivory for the flowers.  Here are some of my photos...can't wait to see the professional ones!

Here is a close up of the bridal bouquet - it's a mix of light green mini-hydrangea, white hydrangea, white and yellow stock, yellow mums, yellow freesia, white, ivory, and yellow roses, buplerum, and variegated pittosporum.


The bridesmaid's bouquets had a white wrap and had more white in the bouquets than the bride.  Also, they were a bit smaller.




For the ceremony, we just did some hydrangea on every-other pew along the aisle and one arrangement up in the altar area with a mix of the same flowers in the bouquet, as well as some yellow and white glads and snapdragons and a few more greens.






For the reception, Katie provided some awesome vases that we did most of the centerpieces in.  We made a mini-bouquet in each one with the same flowers as used in the bouquets, with the addition of some dahlias.  We added a touch of the lapis ribbon around the bouquets.



I loved Katie's idea of doing table "letters" instead of numbers.  


The other arrangement was a tall one of curly willow, white delphinium, and yellow stock.  We wrapped with a little sheer dark purple ribbon to add just a touch.



 Here you can get a sense of the whole room.  Loved the warm colors in combination with the yellows.



For the head table, we did yellow petals, votives, and a couple of bud vases with some yellow freesia.  The bride and bridesmaids added their bouquets in vases to the table later on.


For the cake table, they were having several different cakes, so we just added petals and votives.  We really wanted to steal the flourless chocolate cake, but we barely resisted!  :)


Katie had an awesome bird cage that she placed on the fireplace, which served as her gift table.  We added some buds to the bird cage, as well as some petals and the toss bouquet for a little extra decoration.


In both the reception room and the entryway, there were really beautiful fireplaces.  We added floating candles and rose heads to the mantles for a little extra decor.  Hopefully the photographer will have photos of all the candlelight.



On the other mantle, we added a little bud vase with some white roses and freesia. 


Thanks so much Katie and Jason!  I was so happy to be part of your day!
