Orange orchids

Posted on May 24, 2009 at 4:59 PM

 

Tiffany loved orange and orchids, so I ordered Monkara, Cymbidiums and Dendrobiums.  Her other colors where pure white , blue,  lime green and some yellow.

Her wedding was supposed to feel a bit beachy and she wanted clean lines.

 

 

Tiffany's bridal bouquet was made out of whites; cymbidiums,  iris, freesia and some spanish heather. The Groom wore fressia and white cymbidium.

 

 

The bride loved the brilliant orange color of the cymbidium corasages and Mokara Bout's for the wedding family and the wedding party.


 

Honestly though , these Mokara orchids had me in tears as they are so sensitive and easily  break and bruise.  I would never recommend for a DIY bride.  I babied and even prayed over them!

 

Tiffany found this ring pillow idea.  Guests loved it ..and I have a feeling I will be making many more of these.!  It is paked in a cake box, check back for more pictures of these flowers in action.

 

 

Another idea Tiffany had, and I made it happen for her as I couldn't resist the chance to try something new!  This trellis is hung with white garlands of nearly 400 carnation and crysanthum blooms. Her wedding ceremony took place at Emerey Riddles new chapel and the backdrop of Watson lake was stunning.

 

 

Here a a special arrangement I did for  the  reception hall.  At night the blue aqua lights just glowed throught the vase of curly willow and dendrobiums.  Tiffany had rented a house on the campus for the reception. 


 

These were the table centerpieces.  The flowers are all and only orchids.  Again, it looks easier than it is to get the beargrass/orchids to stay in place underwater.
