royal blue winter wedding

I was absolutely delighted to work with Kate &Matt and here is why. I got a call from Kate at 8.30 pm (yes,I always keep my cell phone with me &answer if I can) and we were chatting for a while before Katya told me that she is Russian. She didn’t have any accent and so I was eager to know her story. Katya and her Mom came to America several years ago because of Svetlana’s marriage. Katya was a little girl at that time and that is why her English sounds native.

Well,I don’t speak Russian a lot in America,and so it was really fun to plan this wedding speaking in my native tongue. It was a kick,and I was absolutely delighted to meet with Katya’s Mom and her American Dad. The ceremony and wedding were held at the elegant “The Ledges of Saint George”.

Katya &Matt wanted to keep their wedding ceremony very private and so only immediate family was invited. The ceremony took place in front of the fire place adorned with a tall colourful arrangement on each side.

For her bouquet Katya insisted on having 2 dozen red roses “Black Magic” with a sparkly touch of “diamonds”.

She insisted that the rest of the wedding flowers be very colourful.

For the table décor Katya chose to have “Royal Blue” Lamoure linen,a big colourful centrepiece with six candles around it. Katya wanted to give the flowers as a gift to some of her close friends. It’s one of the Russian traditions to give the flowers as a hand tied bouquet without a vase and so we decided to incorporate it into the design.

I arranged flowers as a big colourful hand tired bouquet with royal blue Hydrangeas,orange Asiatic Lilies,white and red Roses,Sunflowers,white Gerbera,Thistle and more. The bouquet holder was wrapped with Aspidistra leaf and secured with royal blue wire. For the vase,we used an 8” tall bowl vase. The arrangement looked absolutely amazing!

For the wrist corsages we had Red Roses fixed on royal blue wire. The ladies loved it!

It was my pleasure to work with Katya &Matt and Katya’s dear parents Svetlana and Ed.

I want to thank you for choosing me to create flowers for your wedding!

I wish you all the best!
