Jordan + Mikael, summer 2009

PART 1 : THE WEDDING PARTY

Still to come (soon!), the reception arrangements...

This wedding was just the most fun I've had in years... The bride and groom were incredibly nice, had a great vision of what they wanted, and pretty much gave me carte blanche. This was the first time that 100% of the flowers I used were local and organic. Yay! Even the containers were repurposed, as Jordan found them all in her grandmother's basement. She also wanted something the bridesmaids would be able to hold on to and wear again, so the corsages and boutonnières were all made from fabric, feathers, buttons and ribbons. They'll look very pretty in these gals' hair or on their hat this fall...

Do I have to mention that the bride looks AMAZING? Jordan, you look amazing.

A few pictures are mine, but the others (the really, really good ones) are from their photographer, Irene Suchocki... Click here for her website and her blog...

There was a wide variety of flowers, but I predominantly used dahlias, bachelor buttons, ammi majus, zinnias, scabiosa and celosia...
