Every once in a while I get the opportunity to do something new. This bouquet was one of those times! Jennifer wanted an elegant bouquet in shades of burgundy, brown, and ivory, but she had no idea what flowers she could use. I had never created a burgundy and brown bouquet before, so I was excited to work with her. We started with one of my favorite roses, the Black Bacarra. This brought some nice dark burgundy red tones to the bouquet, as did the throats on these gorgeous coffee brown cymbidium orchids (aren’t they to die for?!)  A more traditional burgundy color came from carnations. Ivory roses and pearls added just the right touch of ivory to Jennifer’s bouquet. Mini hydrangea, Green Tea roses, and seeded eucalyptus brought in gorgeous shades of green. Really, though… the star of this bouquet is the brown cymbidium orchids. They were the perfect shade of coffee brown. It was the subtle burgundy and ivory colors that occur naturally in the orchid’s throat that made this flower absolutely perfect for Jennifer.

Jennifer’s bridesmaid’s carried a simple hand-tied bouquet in shades of white and green, featuring hydrangea, carnations, a few roses, mini hydrangea, and seeded eucalyptus. Simple and elegant!

Here at Snapdragon Studio we’re gearing up for the big wedding season. As April approaches, we are getting ourselves ready for weddings just about every weekend. If you’re still in need of flowers for a summer 2012 wedding, call us right away… dates are starting to book! We would love the opportunity to create your perfect wedding bouquet, just like we did for Jennifer.

I think I’m in love. This gorgeous red wedding bouquet features one of my favorite flowers, the Black Bacarra Rose. Other flowers include garden roses, mokara orchids, spray roses. hypericum berries, and eucalyptus.

The Cedars on Salmon Creek was the perfect setting for Tara and Tracy’s wedding. The outdoor ceremony took place on the 10th hole of the golf course. We designed these sweet and simple flower arrangements in mason jars to hang on shepherd’s hooks to line the aisle. The pew decor featured dahlias, mini hydrangea, garden roses, black bacarra roses, astible, eucalyptus, and waxflower. Don’t they look fantastic against the lush green of the golf course?

The reception took place in the dining room. Low round centerpieces in shades of peridot green with red accents decorated each guest table. The flowers were designed in our signature silver compote dish, and given away to guests as they left the reception.

I can’t wait to see the professional photos Jeremy at Jeremy Pozel Photography took, I’ll be sure to share them as soon as I can.

Huge thanks to Tara and Tracy for allowing me to design their wedding flowers. I loved the opportunity to work with Susan at The Cedars on Salmon Creek, and I look forward to doing more events at this fantastic venue.

If you’re getting married or planning a special event, contact me to chat about flowers. I’d love to be a part of your big day!

Smiles,

Orchids  are always beautiful, of course… but this time of year in the Pacific Northwest they are absolutely amazing. I loved using these buttery yellow cymbidium orchids for a bridal show last weekend.

Fantastic, right?! This arrangement was a centerpiece for a 6 ft. dining table. A larger version could also be used as a ceremony arrangement… perfect for your communion table or altar. This gorgeous arrangement in shades of yellow, red, and orange features cymbidium orchids, roses, kangaroo paw, button poms, and greenery. I’m a bit embarrassed to admit I have no idea what the delicate white flowers are. They grow on a bush in my neighbor’s field and I just fell in love… )

Orchids, especially cymbidium orchids, bring a very elegant touch to a bridal bouquet. This bouquet is simply to die for – even if I do say so myself!

Don’t you just love the cool vase this bouquet is displayed in? It’s my newest fab find from BlumeBox http://www.blumebox.com I use these nifty biodegradable boxes to present bouquets to my brides and bridesmaids. These boxes allow bouquets to remain in water, while being super-easy to transport. A bit of ribbon and your monogram are the finishing touch!

If you’re getting married, give me a call. I would love to design bouquets and arrangements that fit your personality… AND stay within your budget.

The bouquet above is $139; the arrangement is $119
