A Fairy Tale Wedding

Hannah and Travis were married on July 31, 2010 at The Manor in Lynnwood, WA. What a sweet young couple in love. 

When I met with Hannah she said she wanted their wedding to have that fairly tale effect, something out of Midsummer Night's Dream, an Enchanted Forest affair! We decided to introduce whimsical aspect to the arrangements by using hanging candles and flowers, crystals, willow and lots of droopy Amaranthus. Their colors   were primarily Burgundy, but we lightened the palette with soft vintage shades of pink and added a dramatic red for juxtaposition.

Enjoy! 

 We created a dramatic entry into the ceremony location. The arbor was decorated with Black Magic, Cool Water and Freedom Roses, White Dendrobium Orchids, and lots of Drooping Green Amaranthus.

We strung crystal garland and hanging votive cups with Orchids and Roses whimsically dangling from the arbor. The arbor was accented with a Burgundy chiffon draping for just the right touch.

Hannah's bouquet was created with Schwarz Black & White Mini Calla Lilies, Burgundy and White Miniature Cymbidium Orchids, Green Hypericum Berry and White Roses and Spray Roses.

The Bridesmaids carried a combination of Mini Green Hydrangeas, Cool Water Roses, Burgundy Roses, Black Mini Calla Lilies, Burgundy Dahlias and Hot Pink Spray Roses with an accent of Pink Mini Cymbidium Orchids. The perfect contrast to their deep burgundy dresses.

The head table featured arrangements of Willow planted in brown ceramic boxes with arrangements in deep burgundy and dusty pink with accents of lime green. Crystals floated among the branches for the fairy tale effect.

Each place setting featured a burgundy Dendrobium Orchid bloom for an extra special touch to the table.
