Modern Centerpieces: Succulents and Orchids

I love working with succulents because of the wide varieties, colors, and textures. One of the great things about these arrangements is that they will last for months after your wedding. Here are some long lasting arrangements using various succulents, orchid plants, and candlelight.

Bridal Bouquets 2012

One of my favorite parts of designing wedding flowers is putting together the bridal bouquet. Some of the more popular flowers that we used in bouquets this year were succulents, anemones, craspedia (Billy Balls), and dahlias. Below are some of my favorite bouquets from my 2012 wedding season...

 Hydrangea, Anemones, Craspedia, Dahlias, Roses, and Dusty miller.

Seven Degrees Wedding~ Feburary 3, 2012

Just got some professional shots back from a wedding I did in February at Seven Degrees. The first set of photos are from jmfoto.net. They did an amazing job capturing the wedding.

Erin, the bride, wanted to incorporate elements from the sea and canyon into her wedding flowers since the venue is located so closely to both. The flowers we used were hydrangeas, garden roses, ranunculus, black and white anemones, craspedia, acacia, eucalyptus, roses, muscari blue, dusty miller, orchids, and tulips. I loved Erin's idea of using sea fans in the arrangements (which we sprayed gold and silver tones).
