Iris & Jared - Green Cymbidium, Coral Orange and Burgandy Palette

This couple found me somehow... must have been via Pacific Rim Weddings Magazine because their initial theme was to go with the tiare flower and one of my favors with that flower was featured in one of their issues a couple of years ago. They then decided based on a meeting with their florist to change the flower/color scheme. Anyway, here's another wedding client that I've been working on. We're almost done. Just the place cards left to do before I leave on my trip.

Iris wanted the deep burgandy and the coral orange that was in the cymbidium to be carried out into the cardstocks. I think this combination makes a striking impact! I never really would have thought the colors would go together but they do! Iris' order consisted of a guestbook, table cards and place cards. They live in North Carolina and are getting married on Oahu.

All the best to Iris & Jared on their wedding

day!

If only I had another week to get

everything I need to done before the trip. AAH!

Completing the Look and Feel - Wedding Details

I love when clients are able to spend a little extra money on the wedding details that really complete the overall "look and feel" of a wedding. This client actually found me after she had already sent out her invitations. The sweet thing is she said, if she had found me sooner she would have asked me to do her invitations! Her initial idea was to have everything with the Tahitian Ginger flower - Tiare. However, they thought about it some more and decided on green cymbidiums (my FAVORITE flower) and to tie in the burgandy and peach/orange tones from the mouth of the flower. I never really thought about using the colors from that, but as you can see it TOTALLY works! We're going to do the same for the place cards so it looks cohesive.

So if you have the budget, why not spend a little extra money on the table cards to really make your wedding reception look STYLISH! :)
