When I got a call from Jamie beginning of this year, I knew that I had a good feeling about this couple. Well, first of all, it's quite rare that the groom gets to handle the flowers. ^_^ And sure enough, when I met both Judy and Jamie at the Bouche Production bridal show in Willow Grove, we immediately had a great connection!

This couple inspired me so much when they told me the places they have travelled and when they wanted to incorporate that into their wedding decor theme, I was like "YES!". ^_^ AND...to top it all, their venue is the Merion Tribute House! YAY! We definitely love that mansion and had a great time there when we did Joy and Jon's wedding.

So I showed them this one super cool idea of "submersed table number" and I was so excited when both of them liked it! For all the DIY brides out there, this idea is certainly easy to do! I got the idea and instructions from this awesome book "The DIY Bride: 40 Fun Projects for Your Ultimate One-of-a-Kind Wedding" by Khris Cochran (ISBN-13: 9781561589647). The "submersed table number" idea is listed under "Floating Table Number Centerpiece". PS: I know when to give credits when due. ^_^ The slight difference is I used a picture clip holder instead of looping wire. I think it's easier. ^_^ We then added the hydrangeas and sprinkled mixed raw and brown sugar around each centerpiece.
 

Now, that's just half of the tables. As for the rest of the tables, we did tall centerpieces using a mix of hydrangeas, stocks, delphiniums and larkspur.
 

Now here comes the best part...for me at least. ^_^ For the place card table, I suggested that we made this the main "tribute" to their travel adventures. I had too much fun with this and I loved everything about it. ^_^ Judy supplied the luggages (she got these from Home Goods), by the way. The idea was to have an arrangement overflowing from the smaller luggage that was stacked up on a bigger luggage. Then I went around shopping to get the garden angel statue, the Indian elephant, and other knick knacks. I was so happy that I got to use a little bit of scrapbooking to make the shadow box for them. The other cool thing is...they actually printed the place cards as if they were passports! Sweet! ^_^ This definitely makes it to top 3 of my favorite works!
 

As for the personal flowers, from the start, Judy emphasized how important it is for her to have simple design for her bouquet. She loves mini calla lilies and so that's exactly what we did for her bouquet, just a bunch of mini calla lilies with french braided blue ribbon stem wrap. It fits her so well! Love it! ^_^ And for her bridesmaids, who decked espresso brown dresses, we went with simple light blue hydrangeas bouquets to match their sashes.
 

Although the weather that day was a little nerve-wrecking, this lovely couple was so blessed when the rain stopped just in time for their outdoor ceremony. About 30-mins after their ceremony was over, it was pouring cats and dogs! It's almost like the Heaven decided to hold all the gray clouds just for them. It's so amazing to witness this miracle! ^_^

I really did have a blast doing this wedding and am forever grateful to Judy and Jamie for this wonderful opportunity to showcase my works.

Andrea loves the beach! So it's definitely not surprising when she picked the Carribean theme for her wedding reception decor. The colors that she picked match very well with the overall theme: hot pink, burnt orange, and light peach. It worked out great!

For her centerpieces, we did two designs: tall ones to emulate the feel of palm trees and short ones using birds of paradise. She loves to have a lot of colors in so that exactly what we did.

For the tall centerpiece we used sword ferns mixed in with ruscus to create that "palm tree" look and we mixed in curly willows, pink anthuriums, orange mokara orchids, green spider/fugi mums, alstroemerias, hypericum berries, and button mums. For the short ones, we used birds of paradise, green spider/fugi mums and alstroemerias. Both vases were filled with a mix of red, orange and clear marbles to bring more colors in. Around the tall centerpieces, we sprinkled a mix of hot pink and orange fresh rose petals. For the short ones, we sprinkled sand around the vases.

We added some fun stuff on her place card table by using a big shell-shaped vase, starfishes, fresh mokara orchid and rose petals, sand and hot pink and orange ribbons. It definitely brought the beach to Belle Voir!

 

 

Congratulations, Andrea and Joe!!!
Many happy wishes for you two always!!!
