White and Cobalt Blue for an Enchanting December Wedding


Laura and Genji are wonderful people and great friends. 

Their wedding was nothing short of breathtaking and their VIP reception at 
The House of Blues, Hollywood was a once in a lifetime party!


The striking Bridal Bouquet in white and cream with hints of soft green and peach. 

Vendela Roses, White Freesia, Creamy Peach Tulips, White Hydrangea, White Gerber Daisies, White Lisianthus wrapped up with a white satin ribbon.


A personal touch, the Bride carried a family Rosary tucked between the petals.






Boutonnieres were made of Cymbidium Orchids, Mini Gerber Daisies, 
White Roses & Blue Hydrangea.



Mini Bouquet for the Flower Girl.   


Bridesmaid Bouquets were White Gerber Daisies, Blue Hydrangea Creamy Lisianthus, Bright Blue Larkspur, Vendela Roses, wrapped in Blue Satin Ribbon.




Centerpieces were playful and whimsical, adding a fun "living" feeling to the blue bayou interior. With a high number of small and large tables we used 2 designs throughout the space in decorated spaghetti jars the Bride and Bridesmaids saved and collected leading up to the big day. An inexpensive way to display 60 arrangements.  


The Bridesmaid's Bouquets doubled as centerpieces at the head tables in colorful vases

Red Roses & Black Satin

The Bride Brynn is one of my oldest and closest friends. When she announced her engagement I KNEW I had to be the one to create the bouquets on her special day. 

The Bridal Bouquet consists of Red Roses, Red Carnations and Bells of Ireland, wrapped in Bride's heirloom handkerchief.








Bridesmaids Bouquet consist of Red Roses, Red Carnations, Greens, Wrapped in Black Satin Ribbon




I love the pop of bright red against the black bridesmaid dresses.  Each bridesmaid was invited ot wear their favorite style dress providing a variety of backdrops for the bouquets.
