Sara’s Sunflower Wedding
5 Nov
Seriously, how fun is this photo?! I love to see the intimate candid moments of a couple’s wedding day, and this shot by April Williams Photography really captures this couple’s personality. I’ve known Sara and Derek for years — in fact, I’ve known them since before they were “Sara and Derek” — So I was very excited when they asked me to do their wedding flowers.
Sara has a bubbly fun personality, and she wanted a bright and cheerful wedding bouquet. Her bouquet was designed around her favorite flower (sunflowers) and her favorite color (cobalt blue). Sara’s bridal bouquet featured sunflowers, dahlias, and viking poms in shades of yellow; hydrangea in cobalt blue, and gerber a daisies, spray roses, and gloriosa lilies in pink. This was one of my favorite bouquets of the year!
Sara’s bridesmaid’s carried a simple bouquet of sunflowers, accented with a bit of willow and greenery.
Sara and Derek were married at the beautiful Lewis River Golf Club in Woodland, WA. I love this venue because you get the manicured lawn of the golf course, but the garden area is more rustic, situated along the Lewis River. Sara’s father made this arch as their wedding present, and we decorated it with modern floral swags featuring cobalt blue hydrangea, sunflowers, viking poms, montecasino, spray roses, greenery, and curly willow. I love to create a modern wedding arch… this one was so cheerful! The aisle featured simple flower arrangements in blue glass, hanging from shepherd’s hooks.
For the guest tables, Sara collected cobalt blue glass bottles, bowls, and vases. We created an assortment of arrangements, both large and small, and created vignettes on each table. Flowers included hydrangea, snapdragons, gerbera daisies, sunflowers, solidaster, and willow. The colorful flowers really popped against the rustic lodge setting.
I wish Sara and Derek a lifetime of happiness together! Thanks for letting me be a part of your wedding.
