Jess and Rob’s Wedding in Bloomington, Illinois
Jul 15th, 2011 by janet
I’ve been looking forward to Jess and Rob’s wedding since last year. They’re just the sweetest couple, and they were open to suggestions when it came to the flowers. This was actually the first wedding I’ve done since the birth of my daughter. I thought it was going to be a challenge juggling her, and the logistics of a destination wedding, but thanks to the help of my husband and my dad, the wedding came together smoother than I could have imagined!
Jessica’s bouquet was made up of David Austin “Darcey†garden roses, Hot Majolika spray roses, gloriosa lilies, Coral Charm peonies, Romantic Antike garden roses, green mini cymbidium orchids, green Phalaenopsis orchids, alchemilla and scented geranium.
The bridesmaids’ bouquets were smaller versions of the bridal bouquet.
The centerpieces were more organic. Earthy clay pots with a base of mossy greens and branches were topped off with garden roses, peonies and sweet pea.
The ceremony was held at the Mackinaw Valley Vineyard. The venue was stunning, and everyone was in exceptional spirits in spite of the 92 degree heat!
Jess looked absolutely flawless.
The gazebo was draped with jasmine and stephanotis vine – the fragrance was heavenly!
Congratulations Jess and Rob!
Oh my GOSH, I think that is my favorite bouquet that I have ever seen!! (And I have seen a LOT of bouquets!) I’m obsessed with the vibrant fuchsia and the gloriosa lilies :)
Those flowers are TO DIE FOR! Absolutely amazing and I’ve never seen stephanotis used on the vine like that – I don’t particularly love it in bouquets (esp with the pearls) because I think it’s too precious, but I LOVE it in with the jasmine vine – so organic and lovely! It’s all stunning!
Well, THANK GOODNESS you’re back with new designs!! I was seriously starting to miss your work and your virtual presence! Stunning work today… worth waiting for…so so glad to have you back!
