Fun thread and great work everyone! I always love to show our pictures.

First two were our two weddings last weekend
(may 30th) and the second two were from one of today's weddings (actually the smaller wedding). I didn't get pics of the first because it was 33 tables with submerged trio vases (99 submerged arrangements) and we only had 1.5 hours of set up time and two flights of steps for delivery!! Got it done, but boy am I exhausted!

Where do i start, Laura i just love that pink bouquet and actually think i might try one of those on Monday for a pic, loving how you dressed the stems as well.

Blumen, gorgeous pink bouquet also, what are those sticky outy bits? Excuse the lack of trade talk..

Tracy, especially love those arch arrangements, how did you attach the top ones?

Mocha, they must have spent a fortune, they are lovely!! Are they David Austin Roses i see?

Hope you dont mind all the questions everyone, maybe we can learn a bit off each other.

easy peasy - we make them in small oasis square cages, cut off the plastic "arms" or whatever they're called that you would use to hang them from a spray bar . Pre-insert long taped wires before making the arr's. These wires are then wrapped around the horizontal bar of the arbor (theirs on-site, we've done many times). And we'll add some drapey stuff on-site.

I love doing this arbor because the back-drop is the beautiful green of the golf course, so almost everything "pops".
 
Great job everyone.
I love this sharing pics stuff!!

Here was my challenge for the weekend.
The bride wanted a hand tie that she saw I had done a few weeks ago.
No, wait, she wanted a cascade. Better yet - both!

Oy, what a pain. I made and remade this d--n boka three times.
No kidding. I tried ivy - too ackward. Looked like alien spikes coming out. I tried ruscus too wild. I finally just put the boka in the cooler at about 11:30pm on Friday night. I couldn't look at it anymore.
Yesterday, I started to trim the ruscus. I called the bride and told her it didn't look right with the trailing greens. She was sweet and told me to do whatever I felt was right. I started to trim more. Then, I brought out the pigtail wire(I love the stuff) and started to wire the ruscus together in spots.
I put the boka back in the cooler and had gathered the stems together at the bottom while putting it back in the bag.
Kinda of liked the looked of it all pulled together. I brought out three stephanotis and wired and glued them to the gathered placed at the bottom of the greens. I figured that I could cut off the greens when I delivered if she didn't like them. I really wanted to give her what she wanted.
She LOVED it!! Wouldn't put it down.
What you can't really see in the picture, is that with the dresses right now with all the sequins; I'm now using the clear Lomey gems in the centers of the steph. Looks great!! I hope the photographer got better pictures than me.....

Here are pics from a wedding a few weeks ago. The bride had a "peacock" theme... colors were green and blue/purple.

Pics are, in order: bride's bouq, bride & groom, maids bouq, ceremony arrangements, and centerpieces. I didn't get pics of the bouts and corsages, which I'm bummed about... they had peacock feathers, too. Hopefully the photog will have some good ones to share.

WOW!! All you do such great work!!

Here is the wedding I did yesterday for the bride who didn't really care about the flowers so I worked with the mother of the groom who insisted they had to have blue hydrangea as it was her favorite flowers. She thought the colors of the dress where outrageous too! (pool blue, hot pink and orchid) They did look nice together when I delivered the flowers. I forgot my camera to take pictures of the alter flowers.... I am mad at myself when I do that.


I am also adding the graduation that I did yesterday for Monroe High School.
