Monet's Garden

centerpiece with yellow kangaroo paws, Cream Prophyta roses, green leucadendron, agonis, bupleurum, and seeded eucalyptus in a gold footed bowl Last weekend I was super excited to be able to participate in the Genesys Charity Ball at Warwick Hills. The theme was Monet's Garden - a florist's dream! The photo below shows the low centerpieces relaxing in the cooler before their debut at the ball. One of my favorite photographers, Tamara at Silver Thumb Photography, came out to document the event, and I can't wait to see what she came up with!

The bridesmaids bouquets were more subdued and contained privet berries, fern curls, anemones, ranunculus, stellata pods, seeded eucalyptus, hydrangea, Kermit button poms, hypericum berries, wheat and scented geranium.

The ceremony was at St. Paul United Church of Christ in Saline, Michigan, and the reception was just down the street at Weller's. Sara is a graphic designer, so I wasn't surprised to see how beautifully she coordinated all of the details. Walt wore a kilt, and Sara perfectly matched his family's tartan cloth with ties for the groomsmen and pashmina shawls for the bridesmaids.

You can find gorgeous pictures from the day on the Brett Maxwell Photography Blog. And here's a link to Sara's website. Be sure to check out the beautiful wedding invitations and stationary she creates!

Congratulations Sara and Walter!
