Last Week at Jane Guerin, flowers
Sunday, April 21, 2013 at 9:45AM 'Tis the season! For weddings that is. The flowers this time of year are abundant, plentiful, and gorgeous! The weather can be glorious and, luckily it has been for recent weddings. (I hope no one was affected by the storm on Friday night!)
I thought I would share my photos of some recent designs, which were not expensive at all, but extremely effective. The first is of an all peony and dusty miller bridesmaid bouquet with vintage brooches, which the bride provided. The season has, until recently, been "iffy" for peonies. I searched my contacts in Maryland, California, New York, and finally Virginia before I found them for this ALL PEONY wedding. I got 20 stems of the only 50 stems around for this wedding! Wow! I was so relieved to find them.
I was asked to do the designs for a rehearsal dinner last week with potted plants instead of cut flowers. The designs were to be more masculine and ones that could be given away to enjoy for years to come. I used white azalea, angel vine, mini olive trees and succulents to create this design in galvanized cubes. Spanish moss was used to cover the containers and to highlight the gray/silver tones in the succulents and the backs of the olive tree leaves.
Finally, I got to do the flowers for the second daughter to marry in this lovely family. The bride and her mom wanted a very clean, sophisticated look for the centerpieces. They also wanted me to design a piece for the pergola with lots of foliage and several of the flowers in the wedding bouquets. Take a look at the centerpieces of white hydrangea and the design work for the pergola.
Yep!!!! Just could not have a better job!!!!!!!!
