Blue Orchids


The blue dendrobiums have been fairly popular in recent years and add the blue/teal exotic color to weddings that a lot of bride's are looking for. They are not natural, but dyed at the farm and will not stain your gown - a fear of many brides! This bouquet has hydrangea, roses, calla lilies and blue dendrobiums.


Blue dendrobiums were interspersed in hydrangea for aisle flowers, they added an accent to the wedding cake and were swirled inside a bubble bowl for the table centerpiece. 
For this wedding the blue dendrobiums were floated in cylinders and we also hung them from the ceiling which added a lot of movement over the dance floor.

Table Scapes

 Table scapes have become very popular for head tables or King's table. The table scape involves multiple elements and heights along the length of the table. This table scape has multiple height candle sticks, some with candles and some with florals. On the table we had a variety of greenery including ivy, ruskus and sprengerii with votives and succulents, creating a lot of interest and textures.
 This table scape for a round table has soft shades of white, yellow and green blooms in milk glass vases at different heights.
 We created this table scape in a variety of mercury glass vases and votives in soft shades of white, yellow and grey and a selection of spring flowers.
 This head table scape has long & low arrangements interspersed with votives and multi level candle holders with floating candles.
