My client, Kim contacted me a while back and asked if I could create her wedding flowers. She wanted to tie in the colors of her wedding and the inspiration was this wonderful oriental vase lid that tied in their blue color palette as well as their ethnic background of French and Vietnamese. They did these lovely wooden, Asian inspired wedding invitations which also highlighted the blues and yellows.
The bridesmaid bouquets are smaller versions of the bride's bouquet but with more yellow than ivory.
The groom, man of honor and groomsmen boutonnieres mimic that of the bouquets. The father's also have the same boutonnieres as the groomsmen.
Kim asked me last minute if I could also create 2 additional boutonnieres and a corsage for other family members or friends who she wanted to include. For these we decided on ivory ranunculus with forget me nots and light yellow hyacinth blossoms.
The groom asked that his mother's corsage match his dad's boutonniere. While Kim asked me to create something to match her mother's dress colors. So we opted for ivory ranunculus with lilac colored hyacinth and a violet on a wristlet. Kim's grandmother is wearing pink so we created the same flowers but in the pink and ivory color palette.
This order took some time because every ranunculus had so many petals! I'm already working on the next special project that's due on Tuesday as well as a few more items I need to finish before I hop on the plane for my workshop classes at Icing Inspirations!
I'm finally done with my big wedding order today! This bride's colors are a plum purple and a hint of orange with greens and browns. She opted for her bouquet to have spotted white and plum phaleanopsis orchids with whitish ivory roses, fern curls and hipericum berries. To add a bit more plum she requested lilacs to be added.
Amanda has 1 maid of honor and 4 bridesmaids. She asked that the MOH bouquet be larger than the bridesmaid bouquets. Their bouquets consisted of plum phaleanopsis orchids with an orangey-yellow center, lilac purple roses, fern curls and hipericum berries.
The groom and groomsmen flowers mimicked the flowers in the women's bouquets.
Amanda also wanted flowers for her fathers/brother and mothers/grandmother.
The final piece that Amanda added were her cake flowers. While there are no anemones in her bouquets, she requested to have ivory anemones with a plum center.
This was no small order and lots of individual petals that all had to be taped together. I'm happy the order is complete and now I can move onto the next wedding order before completing some more special projects and orders.
I'm officially into countdown mode for my trip to Kitchener, Ontario, Canada to teach my 3 day workshops at Icing Inspirations! The workshops are September 17th-19th! VERY EXCITED!
This peony hair flower is larger than what I normally make and has a bigger rhinestone button center and more feathers. This was also created for this special project that I'm working on with other wonderful industry colleagues.
In between working on this big wedding order I have to finish by Monday, I had to complete a couple custom orders for a coral peony cake flower and hydrangea stems.
Just wanted to share a couple of photos of these completed items. Hope you have a great Labor Day Weekend! More to share with you early next week!
This is my third time to be featured in less than 2 months! What an honor! I never get tired of seeing Stefanie's (of Anna and Blue Paperie) wonderful birthday party display and all the wonderful things she created or had made for this very special birthday party for her two sweet daughters!
