D & S Wedding 9-21-13

Back in September I got a wonderful opportunity to decorate a stunning archway at the Plantation Golf & Country Club.   The bride put her complete trust in me and safe to say she LOVED everything I did!! 

White hydrangeas, seeded eucalyptus, plumosa and grapevine embellished this gorgeous white trellis archway.  ( Florist credit: Port Charlotte Florist ) 

Sometimes you don't need to decorate the whole aisle.  We used 2 shepherd hooks and 2 hanging jars with soft hydrangea blooms to define this outdoor aisleway. 

For centerpieces hydrangeas make a magnificent impact with out blowing the budget.  Most florists have a great array of rental items too to help save cost from having to buy 14 tall glass vases.  ( What is a bride to do with that many afterwards anyway?! ). A multitude of candles and 12" round mirrors finished off this stellar look! 

 Curly willow will add wonderful height to any centerpiece.  The branches added a great natural element to the room.   Beautiful wrought iron table numbers and beaded decal hanging from the centerpieces added a soft touch. 

Nothing makes me happier then when I blow a brides expectations out of the water.   Trusting your floral designer to fulfill your dream wedding is crucial.  (Not having to sweat and attempt to do it yourself on your special day is priceless!)
