For the Love of Flower: Kristi and Joe, October 2011

Kristi and Joe's wedding was a bit different than usual because I didn't do the personal flowers.  Instead they were put together by some designers I really admire, Blue Bouquet.  However I really loved working on their wedding at The Hobbs Building, which is actually where my husband and I had our reception.  Kristi definitely wanted to embrace the fall vibe, but didn't want it to be the usual palette of oranges, reds, and golds.  Blue Bouquet came up with a beautiful concept that included soft peaches and pinks, alongside dark crimson dahlias, and smokebush.  Kristi also wanted us to add in dried green hydrangea that she and her mom had purchased.  I'd never worked with them before but they were fabulous and really filled out the arrangements nicely.  A big thank you to Kristi and Joe for letting us be part of your day!
