Becky's Wedding Flowers

Becky only asked me to do her flowers about a week before the wedding... Which was fine, she only needed a couple of things, and was very flexible on what we did. It was also her trust in me that allowed to really enjoy designing these flowers on the spot. Just shows that even on a tight budget, you can still have beautiful flowers.Becky's Bridal bouquet was set in a holder, and her main request was to have large white gerbera daisies and her colors were light watercolors. For her green: it's old english ivy to contrast all the lights. For fillers: baby's breath with white and pink mini carnations. The kicker: The light blue hydrangea. I saw it at the wholesaler, and HAD to have it! I had never worked with it before, but fell in love with it. The problem: They, like their gerbera nieghbors here, wilt quickly and depending on the color, bruise easy.
The shape of Becky's Bridal bouquet you may have noticed is not the cliche run of the mill shape either. It is a variable of a half crescent.

Simple Mother's corasages.
This is the Groom's Bout: White mini Gerbera with light blue hydrangea, and a little ivy.


Below is the Throw Bouquet. I was a little nervous if Becky would like this Biedermier style bouquet. Biedermier is just the show of concentric circles in the design. Um, with wide eyes and excitement, shel oved it! Here, buttercream gerbera diasies with white and pink mini carnations with baby's breath.
