Nicole & Colton
It’s been amazing to work with Nicole and Colton to create the perfect floral accents for their perfect wedding day.
Usually the bride or her mother call to inquire about flowers and to set the first appointment for us to meet, but not this time! Colton was the one who called to find out more about what I could offer. And as we met, Nicole and Colton worked together on everything. They are destined to have a wonderful marriage as they continue to collaborate on the important decisions in life as they did on the flowers and colors for their wedding!

I love a good challenge, and certainly one of the really fun aspects of this wedding was the complete absence of greens of any kind in the boutonnieres and bouquets.

Nicole wanted a completely white bouquet, and certainly the splendid cascade of white flowers that we designed was breathtaking, just like the radiant bride! Interestingly, Nicole didn’t want any roses in her bouquet, and so we used a combination of white Oriental lily, Dahlia and Lisianthus to create this distinctive arrangement!

Colton wanted unusual boutonnieres for himself and for his groomsmen. We decided to use a very interesting and attractive plant that is native to the area where they held their wedding – never mind that it is most commonly thought of as a weed! As you can see, even a weed such as thistle can dress up beautifully for such a special occasion!

Although banned from the bouquets, roses were certainly not absent from the festivities. A path of beautifully colored rose petals led to where the ceremony took place. This part of their journey was certainly adorned with color and beauty!

Colton and Nicole also insisted on very colorful floral arrangements to decorate the festivities. This was an absolutely perfect fit, given their fun and playful personalities. With royal blue, silver and white as their wedding colors we were able to develop some really striking combinations of flowers that brought even more life to the scene.

As part of the table decor we created two distinctive styles of arrangements. One of these was based on a tall rectangular vase that included blue wire inside and a colorful arrangement on top. The other was more of a globe shaped vase with live beta fish swimming inside, again topped with a colorful floral arrangement.

I am sure that you can see why I absolutely adore designing flowers for weddings! Working with such friendly, intelligent, thoughtful and fun people as Nicole and Colton make my job absolutely delightful! They were so easy to work with, and it was great fun to have a part in this beautiful day that is just one step in their lifelong love story.
