Kelly's wedding

Kelly is pretty much the opposite of a bridezilla. Instead of determining every last detail of her bridesmaids' wardrobe, she just asked them to wear black and choose their own shoes in a different bright color. Then she came to me to create wedding flowers using all of these colors (blue, green, aqua, purple, and I think I'm forgetting a few), along with red to go with her own shoes, and sheet music or book pages, also chosen by each bridesmaid.

I won't lie, I was a little afraid I wouldn't be able to combine all of those colors without it looking like a hot mess. But, in the end, it all came together pretty well, I think:

Each bridesmaid bouquet was a combination of pinwheel flowers and roses containing all of the colors in the palette, with the color of each bridesmaid's shoes determining the main color of her bouquet.

Kelly's bridal bouquet was in roses, again containing all of the colors of the palette, but with an emphasis on reds and sheet music.

 

The groom and groomsmen's boutonnieres coordinated with the bouquets.

And I also did some corsages and boutonnieres for the parents, including some special sheet music and maps.

 

And perhaps the best part of all (for my ego, anyway!), I recently heard from Kelly that she and her husband, Zachary, have their flowers on display at home!

Congratulations to Kelly and Zachary!
