Diana and Michael

Diana and Michael's wedding was this Saturday at St. Raymond's in Mount Prospect and their reception took place at the Westin Itasca. Her bridesmaids wore royal blue and her made of honor was in cornflower blue, very pretty! I wish I had a picture of Diana in her wedding dress, she looked gorgeous. When I brought the bouquets to her and her girls in the morning, she had me attach a locket with a picture of her passed Grandpa to her bouquet. I thought it was such a lovely way for her to honor her Grandpa and have him close to her all day.

Wilder Mansion

My other wedding this weekend was on Saturday in Elmhurst at the Wilder Mansion. I had to keep reminding myself that it was August because it felt like a cool early October day. I'm not complaining, I love autumn time! Megan and Jay's wedding mainly consisted of Gerbera Daisies..so fun and their colors were black, white and hot pink with a Chicago Sox theme. Congrats Megan and Jay!!

Beach Wedding

Brittany and Jeff married earlier this month on a beach in Mexico and this past Friday night was their wedding reception at Palos Country Club in Orland Park. I also had the privledge of doing their flowers for Mexico as well. No, they didn't fly me down there with them...darn! but they did fly down with silk bouquets and boutonierres I made. The first set of pictures are the fresh flowers from this Friday and the second set are the silk flowers from earlier this month. I had so much fun with this wedding..the bright colors and sea shells made me dream of being on vacation..ahh!!

Centerpiece Orders

Gerbera Daisy arrangements for a bridal shower this past Sunday at the Edgewood Valley Country Club in LaGrange.

Centerpieces for a United Airlines Training Department meeting this past Monday.
(I should have taken a picture of the flowers outside, the fluorescent lights dulled the colors in the pictures a bit)

Shower Flowers

This past Sunday, I had an order for a bridal shower at the Hilton in Lisle. Lauren (the bride-to-be), is having a fall wedding so the centerpieces on the guests' tables were to match what her bridesmaids will be carrying: burgandy and orange gerbera daisies with dark blue delphinium.

Some More Pretty Purple

I think purple is the color of the year! I had another purple wedding this past Saturday. Jennifer's bridesmaids wore the prettiest auborigine satin dresses and their bouquets consisted of lavender freesia, lavender roses, ruby red stock, dark purple hydrengeas and green hypericum berries. Her maid of honor carried the same bouquet except hers was a little more special with the addition of eggplant mini calla lilies. Jennifer and Robert's ceremony took place at St. Mary's of the Angels Church in Chicago and oh my gosh, this church was AMAZING! I took a few extra pictures, I couldn't get over how beautiful and grand it was. Their reception was at Beau Jolie in Schiller Park, I've become quite familiar with this venue being that it was the third wedding I've set up there.
