A few weekends ago I had the privilege of designing the flowers for Annie and Mario's outdoor wedding at the Nelson Family Vineyards. I really enjoyed working with Annie and her wonderful mother-in-law in coming up with ideas for her theme of yellow and brown. The end result was an Italian countryside look that suited the bride and groom perfectly, both being Italian.
Annie's bouquet was a lovely combination of roses, button chrysanthemums, sunflowers, freesia, chocolate cosmos and rosemary. (one of my favorite bouquets!)
Mario's boutonniere was three sprigs of golden wheat paired with button chrysanthemums and freesia, and wrapped in chocolate velvet.
This is the custom ring bearer's pillow I made for the wedding, it is white silk with a chocolate velvet ribbon and bow. Too cute!
The ceremony arrangements were a combination of the signature sunflowers, paired with spider mums, bells of ireland, hanging millet and curly willow branches to add some height. I loved the country look the galvanized tin market vases gave the arrangements. They were set on either side of the ceremony area on wine barrels and later used at the reception.
The head table spray arrangement included the above flowers along with roses, yellow and white button chrysanthemums, rosemary, italian oregano and chocolate cosmos.
