 Green Bridal Bouquet of hydrangea, virbiurm, green spider mums, garden mint, kale

rosemary, white cymbidium, lisianthus, hanging amaranthus, monkey tail and a relaxed tie. Carley wanted an all "green" wedding .  She liked the "Green Habitat bridal" I made for the Prescott Bridal Expo 2009.  As I got to know the couple over coffee, it was clear Chad and Carley were looking for fun and meaning in their wedding.  The wedding was planned at Carley's childhood home in Breezy Pine Prescott and her Mother was a Bluegrass singer!  This couple wanted an intimate, relaxed and natural outdoor wedding.  Carley said there was always fresh mint in the creek and it needed to be in every flower bouquet.  I mentioned that it is a folk tradition to use rosemary in weddings, so that was included.. and so that's how we all three planned each arrangement.  In the end, it was way over there budget; so we cut out the herbed pots with fareies, the arch flowers and even the moss pillow. 

 But her flowers were all she imagined and more!Maid of Honor bouquet. 

 Even the toss bouquet was "wild" and very natural looking.  Everything smelled so herby, have to admit it was a blast to be a wild as I wanted and just O.D. on green.

The Groom wanted everything in his bout  and they especially loved the monkey tail.  I couldn't resist adding a tiny kale bud!  Carley's other color was chocolate browns.

All the wedding party folks wore either green or white cymbidiums. Carley wore orchids and rosemary in her hair.
