Autumn is a busy season at Floral Verde LLC, and there are several real weddings that I need to post about. We'll start with a very special couple, Allison and Chris. Allison found Floral Verde LLC online in late January. After working up a quote for her, she booked me for her wedding. We hit it off during our initial phone conversation, and I mentioned that I was looking to hire help for the upcoming wedding season.
Fast forward to May 28th - Allison is working on her first wedding with me! It was the start of wonderful personal and professional friendship, and we have since worked side by side on several weddings. So here is to my good friend and floral partner in crime - Allison!
Allison is simply stunning!
My favorite part of the day is how Allison couldn't stop smiling. Congratulations Allison and Chris!
Here are some of the floral details from the day:
The fathers' boutonnieres were made up of a single Akito rose with accents of boxelder seeds and two loops of lily grass knotted in the front.
The mothers' corsages followed suit, and included Viviane spray roses, boxelder and lily grass mounted on pearl corsage bracelet from Fitz.
The groomsmen boutonnieres included a special touch of lily of the valley. It was the Fraternal flower of the groom and his groomsmen.
The bridesmaids' bouquets were made up of Akito roses, Viviane spray roses, white freesia, boxelder, myrtle and green sedum.
The bridal bouquet combines Black Baccara roses and Schwartzwalder mini callas with freesia and loops of lily grass.
The gorgeous venue - Pine Knob Mansion in Clarkston, Michigan. What an incredible view!
This cake maximizes it's height by adding layers of flowers and a beautiful silver base (provided by the baker). Antique blue/pink hydrangea alternate with votives to create a base layer. Hydrangea are used again to support the top layer.
This abundant centerpiece plays up the silver, plum and apple green color scheme. For anyone familiar with a little color theory - a touch of hot pink completes the triad of split complimentary hues, making this centerpiece pop. It contains Florigene Moonvista carnations, antique blue/pink hydrangea, Twinkle Bride spray roses, green apples, Polaris cushion pomps and variegated pittosporum in a silver Revere bowl.
