For the Love of Flowers: Ellen and Brian, Part I

This weekend two of our friends got married, and I was lucky enough to be asked to do the flowers.  Brian and Ellen are not only such a fun couple to hang out with, but it's easy to tell that they are very much in love and we couldn't be happier for them.  We started planning Ellen's wedding flowers over a year in advance, and decided on a fall color palette. The flowers ended up integrating perfectly with the reception sites decor, and there were over 200 candles that provided plenty of ambiance.  

The bridesmaids bouquets had a textural mix of flowers including roses, dahlias, scabiosa pods, cockscomb and more.  

In her bouquet the bride specifically wanted two flowers, white roses which Brian's mother had in her wedding bouquet, and Stephanotis which were in Ellen's mothers bouquet on her wedding day.  I added in dahlias, hydrangeas and some other white flowers for extra texture.

Thanks again guys for letting us be part of your big day.  We had so much fun!

love, em
