New Pictures from Heather and Greg June 2009

Hanging votives lit up this focal point of the room

Amy Campbell, from Angela Anderson Photography, was sweet enough to send me some flower images she shot from Heather and Greg’s June 2009 wedding.  I was left breathless by her vision and had to share!

I so enjoyed working on this wedding.  First, because it was a GE team effort (Alicia was the planner and I was the designer/florist….which always makes for a super-fun event).  But also, because our beautiful bride, Heather,  pretty much gave me her budget and told me that she wanted beautiful, bright colors and the height of her venue (The Keene Barn) addressed in the design.  I love having some freedom to create.

Four of these large arrangements were used on the outdoor patio for the ceremony, to create an altar focal point.

Colorful rose petals led the guest eye's down the aisle to the floral altar.

Her flowers included the luscious Black Magic red roses, Vendela ivory roses , Hot Princess pink roses, Toscana pink alstromeria lilies, Honey Bell yellow alstromeria lilies, Belles of Ireland, Castellanro hot pink carnations, white hydrangea, beautiful green pittosperum….and fields of curly willow!

A favorite current trend is using different heights on centerpieces.  It keeps your guests’ eye moving around the reception.  Being kissed with beauty at every level.  For Heather, we did one large center focal point (below) with every flower imaginable at the mouth of the vase and hanging in the super-tall willow branches, adding hanging votive candles to create romance.

Then did medium size arrangements (below).

And my favorite, the short arrangement, but still managed to “lift” it off the table by using a lift vase with coordinating pieces artfully placed at the bottom of the lift vase.  This is a treat for guests seated at the table and is often met with….”well, look at that” as they enjoy their dinner.  Something new they did not notice until seated.

Curly willow and alstromeria lily blooms grace the bottom of the vase lifts.

A sweet finish!  Amy, your photos are amazing!  Thank you!
