This bouquet was created by individually hand-wiring over 3 dozen individual Cymbidium Orchid blossoms. It was a stunning bouquet for an equally stunning bride.

Deep pinks, lush reds, and royal purples are just the cure for the mid winter blues… This winter is starting to drag on a bit, but not to worry, spring will be here in a few short months! Until then, enjoy this bit of bouquet eye-candy. Happy couple Clair and Scott were married this past November at the Loring Pasta Bar and danced the night away at the Varsity Theater. Casey Funk from Funky Flash Photography did a wonderful job on their photos.
With the hint of early summer in the air, I had the opportunity to create the flowers for a great couple, Jackie and Chris, for their May 24th wedding. Their wedding was very elegant, classic, and clean and took place at the Carlson Towers in Minnetonka. The backdrop of their ceremony was the amphitheater and the reception area featured a stunning fountain.
Light blue, white, and silver were their colors, and what better flowers to pair with these colors than Hydrangea in shades of white and blue as well as white Orchids. Jackie wanted the bouquet for her bridesmaids to be simple and very clean looking. We achieved this look by gathering white Hydrangea together with light blue ribbon to match the girl’s dresses. Her bouquet was a stunning assortment of white standard and mini Cymbidium Orchids each hand wired into a beautiful bouquet. 
Of course, we can’t forget about the groom! Chris was very involved in the flower selection and I really wanted to make him stand out with a stunning boutonniere. His flowers were comprised of white mini Cymbidium Orchids with white Dendrobium Orchid accents. 
Since the ceremony was outdoors in a large amphitheater the couple really wanted to create the presence of an altar. We achieved this by creating some very large and stunning arrangements which included Oriental Lilies, Dendrobium Orchids, and Tulips all in white. These were placed on top of two white columns to give it some height. The couple also brought the arrangements into the reception area for added decor.
The centerpieces featured clusters of white and blue Hydrangea and taller Eiffel Tower vases with white Tulips and Dendrobium Orchids.
The finishing touches to this classic and elegant wedding were the cluster of white Peonies atop the couples monogrammed cake.
I really enjoyed working with Chris and Jackie. Their enthusiasm and clear vision of what they wanted in their wedding decor really made all the elements come together flawlessly! The couple’s photographer, Lara Leimbach, did a amazing job on the photos which she has so graciously allowed me to use in this blog!
