Colleen and Hayden’s wedding was a stunning affair - overflowing with love, joy and tight knit family bonds. I had the pleasure of working alongside Michele Butler Events which is ALWAYS a pleasure! Michele is a preferred vendor of Fairbanks Florist and is highly recommended for her impeccable work and attention to detail.
The ceremony took place at the GORGEOUS St. James Catholic Church in Orlando, FL. The reception followed at the equally spectacular Country Club of Orlando.
Colleen’s bouquet was an immaculate combination of white ranunculus, burgundy dahlia, burgundy Paris Roses, dusty miller, white majolica spray roses, seeded eucalyptus and salal. The arrangement provided enough of a variety for a stunning visual effect, without appearing too busy.
The bridesmaid bouquets perfectly complemented Colleen’s - composed of white ranunculus, white majolica spray roses, white Mondial roses, seeded eucalyptus and salal. I just love how the white and green contrasted beautifully against their burgundy gowns.
I assisted Colleen and her mother Kathleen in choosing many of the design elements such as the blush velvet linens for the bridal party table and the chargers. Colleen loves the ambiance of candlelight; so we adorned all of the tables with modern glass candle holders from my extensive collection.
A family member created this incredible metal monogram initial “E” for the couple. I affixed the monogram to a hedge wall which I then embellished with flowers, creating a dramatic focal point right behind Colleen & Hayden at the bridal party table.
Three different table centerpiece designs created visual interest for guests, two low and one tall arrangement made up of antique and white hydrangeas, belles of Ireland and white stock for dramatic height.
Every detail from the floral arrangements to the chargers were perfectly paired to create the elegant and breathtaking atmosphere the couple dreamed of.
Dinner, drinks and dancing capped off this classy celebration. The bride’s mother and father beamed with pride the entire night.
Perhaps my favorite part of the evening was the couple’s exit in this fun vintage Cadillac!
Sealing the celebration with a kiss, the gorgeous bride and handsome groom were chauffeured off into the night.
