Diana and Dave

Diana and Dave's wedding was held at the 63rd Street Beach House this Saturday. I loved making her bouquets; presentation arm bouquets in hot pink calla lilies! This style is one that isn't used very often but I think it was perfect for her beach setting. The other flower variety used for her wedding was white dendrobium orchids which were added to her bouquet, the groom's boutonniere and the corsages.

First Vow Renewal

C.C. contacted me to make her flowers for her and her husband's ten year wedding anniversary this weekend in which they renewed their vows at the Riverview Banquets in Batavia. She was looking for a very bright bouquet with a little bit of bling! A purple butterfly is symbolic for a missed family member in their family and C.C. wanted to incorporate a silk butterfly somewhere in the ceremony so one was added to the flowergirl pomander. I think it was a very special touch to the day.

Metropolis Ballroom

Becky and Daniel's wedding took place Sunday at Harvest Bible Chapel in Rolling Meadows and the reception was held at the Metropolis Ballroom in downtown Arlington Heights. They had an ultra chic wedding in ivory and black with accents of yellow. Majority of the flowers I used were bright yellow, which stood out perfectly. I wish I had more pictures to post, but this is what I have...

Kim and Mike

Kim and Mike married this weekend as well at Sacred Heart Church in Lomband and their reception was at Drury Lane in Oak Brook Terrace. Kim's beach themed wedding was achieved by using lots of seashells, sand and bright colored flowers!! It was nice to see all her details she planned for the day come together. Gerbera Daisies were the main wedding flower which complimented her bridesmaids ocean blue dresses. This was such a fun wedding to put together!

Cindy and Matt

Cindy and Matt's wedding was this weekend. Cindy's bridesmaids wore tea length black satin dresses with fuscia pink sashes. Their bouquets consisted of hot pink roses, green hypericum berries, dark purple Lisianthus and medium Purple Stock. I wrapped their bouquets in fuscia with a thinner black ribbon detail. Her maid of honor was the same except wrapped in black with a fuscia ribbon accent. Cindy's bouquet contained the same flowers with large white roses mixed in. The reception took place at the Cottillion in Palatine, very elegant! For the centerpieces, we kept them simple and sleek with gerbera daisies twirled inside a large bubble vase with lily grass and black river rocks. They are such a great couple and I really enjoyed making their wedding flowers!

Oak Brook Hills Marriott - Marquis

Amy and Matt's very summery wedding was Saturday at St. Elizabeth Seton and their reception was held in the Marquis at the Oakbrook Hills Marriott. I loved the colors Amy chose to go along with her modern, elegant garden themed wedding. Her 10 bridesmaids wore tea length dark coral dresses and I made vibrant bouquets for them to carry of roses, dahlias, freesia, orchids, stock and astilbe. Amy's flowers were similar but in toned down hues. The bright, full centerpieces really stood out, and smelled wonderful, in the all white tent.
