A Whole Lot of Smooching! Stephanie and Patrick

Chartreuse and aubergine has been a very hot color pairing for my brides this summer. I love how the two colors look together! Check out the back of Stephanie's gown...tres sexy. I love this image by Brandon Patoc Photography.

The chartreuse orchids just make everything pop!

The sweet little flower girl tossed purple orchid florets from her basket.
Isn't this bridesmaid a stunner in her aubergine dress. I want to hire her for a photo shoot :)
Stephanie and Patrick said their vows at Laurel Point Inn. The fab photographer for all of these images is Brandon Patoc from Seattle.Many thanks to him for sharing his images with me.
The formals. Pretty darn tootin' good looking!

A whole lot of smoochin' going on!


Patrick is one of the head chefs at the Laurel Point and planned the whole menu himself.

Yum!
More smooching. It is all as it should be :) Congratulations to Stephanie and Patrick! You both look fabulous...even while your lips are locked! xox

Sneak Peek Floral Details:July 11,2009

My bride and groom got married this Saturday in a lovely garden wedding. The weather was beautiful and sunny. I can hardly wait for the professional photos as I am sure they will be stunning. So check back in a month or so when I post the real wedding.
A close up of the Bridal bouquet. The Bride is an absolute sweetheart. She is so lovely and petite that I have a hard time not hugging her to pieces every time I see her...poor thing....getting squished up by her floral designer wasn't exactly written in the contract!
When I created her bouquet I didn't want to create something so large that it would overwhelm her natural beauty. This bouquet was just the right size for her.
A close up shot of the Bridesmaids bouquet.
I took some of the flowers used in the Bride's bouquet for her girls. I am a firm believer that the Bride should have the most beautiful bouquet regardless of her budget.

That goes for the Groom's boutonniere as well.
The Groomsmen wore these.
The Fathers and Grandfathers had a lovely, simple but elegant rose boutonniere .
Pearl and orchid wristlets for the Moms.

Grandmothers and other honored female guests had an orchid corsage.

The reception venue and centerpieces. Once again, I do not have a great shot of these due to the lighting in the venue and am hoping the professional photographers got some good shots of them for me. The centerpieces looked lovely and were made from hydrangea, curly willow and orchid florets. The centerpieces also had submersible lights that illuminated the centerpieces up from the inside and I am sure looked fabulously magical once it got dark. I loved these centerpieces and wish I had gotten a good shot of them. Sigh. They were elegant, modern and slightly whimsical. The servers who were setting up the tables were "Oohing and Awing"over them which always makes a floral designer happy. It is always nice to get positive feedback :)
My dear bride is also a wedding photographer and will be photographing a wedding of mine in two weeks so I hope she is enjoying a lovely honeymoon with her groom. All the best to Kim and Darren and HUGS all around!
