A Fall Wedding

November 4th, 2011 by Sarah

Just like many of us, this bride was on a budget.  Sure, there were a few mums thrown in, but premium flowers make the difference, and you don’t always need a whole lot of a good thing.

The bridal bouquet had white and green decorative cabbage, wax flower, football mums, roses and rosemary for remembrance.  The bridesmaids’ bouquets were a combination of an orange lily, rovers, pinkish sedum,  burgundy mums, safari sunset and orange roses with buplerum which added an airy feeling.

Table Arrangements:

We had all kinds of combinations of flowers, mirrors, containers and even a few slices of a burl to put on the tables. It looked lush and well planned (because it was).

$9.99 Flower Arrangements!
