Hey! I'm getting the blogging bug again!
The first is Meredith and Drew. They were married at The Catholic Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in downtown Atlanta with a reception at The Hotel Palomar.
Meredith preferred an all white bouquet of hydrangeas and cymbidium orchids with a touch of delicate green ladies mantle. For her girls, wearing slate grey dresses, we added a burst of color with bright blue hydrangeas and yellow calla lilies (and a touch of green ladies mantle).
There were three different designs for the reception centerpieces. Meredith is an architect and wanted the centerpieces to be very structured. We started with a large, low design of massed blue and purple hydrangeas.
The next design featured the mass of blue and purple hydrangeas along with a rise of white calla lilies in a criss-cross pattern. Their stems were wrapped with platinum ribbon and secured with a pearl pin.
The third design featured a tall column of large white calla lilies also wrapped with silver and a pin. The guest tables were labeled with the names of different flowers.
Instead of purchasing cut hydrangea stems for this wedding, I purchased
actual plants which had about 4 or 5 blooms each and cut them myself. This can reduce your flower cost significantly if they are available. The best news is that my sister took the leftover plants and added them to her yard. They are blooming to this day!
