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.

This bouquet makes me so happy… It may very well be my favorite bouquet of the year! Bethany is a spunky redhead who got married in her friend’s backyard. She wanted something natural and cheerful, featuring her favorite flower, daisies. Her bridal bouquet featured dahlias, daisies, sunflowers viking poms, zinneas, amaranthus, greenery, ferns, and even wildflowers from my back yard, all in bright shades of orange, green, and yellow. Her maid of honor carried a bouquet in the same color scheme, without the white daisies. Little monticasino flowers (they look like mini daisies) added a fun touch of whimsy to the bridesmaid’s bouquet. It looks like these bouquets came straight from the garden, doesn’t it?

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!
I am so in love with succulents right now. They are such a gorgeous alternative to traditional flowers in a wedding bouquet! Here is a sweet little bouquet I did for the Firstenberg Bridal Show on February 13.
How cool is this centerpiece? I simply attached succulents to a gorgeous moss-covered log. Simple elegance at its best!
