Reed & Deanne Part III

For the third and final part of our series, of course it is all about the Bride. Well, all about her flowers...and her attendants...and the groomsmen...you know what I mean. The bridesmaids bouquets lined up on my counter, getting ready for departure.

Packed up in my car- (I told you, I really like these pictures in the car....)

One of Deanne's bridesmaids graciously modeling flowers for me. The bouquets have Supergreen & O'Hara garden roses, (the O'Hara's are the pinkies and let me tell you, they smelled fresh and clean like a baby- that edible too. I like eat flowers and babies apparently, what can I say?) spray roses, hydrangea and ranunculus.


The groomsmen all got succulents for their boutonnieres. This one also has blackberry and some rosemary- we made all of the guys a little bit different- all had a succulent, but then some had blackberry, some had hypericum, or waxflower or rosebuds or more baby succulents...I like that they all had a personality of their own, and making each of them unique -well, it helps stave off my ADD.

The Bride's toss bouquet.


And the Bride's bouquet. Deanne's only request to me was that it was big- (and she is petite! I love me a small girl that wants to carry a big 'ol mess of flowers!) and that it was "fluffy". This is my interpretation of big & fluffy....

Hydrangea, dahlia, nigella, ranunculus, spray roses, and garden rose Vitality (which had that really good incense-y smell. Not overwhelming-but nostalgic- know what I mean?) and the biggest fluffiest puffiest peonies that really I have seen all season.

Big & Fluffy? I think so....


It was a good day. A really good day. I wanted to celebrate with some tequila- but no one would take me up on my offer, so instead, in the end it was an enormous cup of coffee, left over Thai, and a twilight walk with the fireflies. To my new friends, my Bride & Groom- thank you so much for (ha ha) picking me! To my assistantaccompliceextrodinaire, I owe you big! And to all of you, happy weekend!
