The lovely Australians are getting married.
The first thing I do on a wedding day is deliver the personal flowers to the wedding party.
Close up detail of the bouquets.
After delivering the personal flowers and dressing the ceremony site if applicable, I dress the wedding cake and reception tables. Notice the cake topper is of two grooms.
Meet my lovely Australians Jim and David. They are getting married. Yes, this is a same sex marriage, and if you have a problem with same sex marriages, you probably should not read any further. No hard feelings.
They have a beautiful kind of love and they came all the way to Victoria, B.C. Canada to get married! Yup. It's true.
Instead of groomsmen they had groom's women. The lovely ladies were supposed to be in black cocktail dresses, but, alas, something went wrong as it can do when you are traveling from another country. They look lovely all the same!
I made two matching bouquets for the girls. Jim and I worked together to create something the girls would love. He loves orchids. The man has good taste!
The exchange of the rings. Yippee!

Beginning to dress the tables with mokara blooms scattered, submerged cymbidium orchids and floating candles, and matching bouquets.
I love the series of following photos that photographer Mark from
www.marksphoto.ca shot and I thank him for sharing them with me.
Love.
More love.
The boys running through Victoria with bubble wands makes me so happy!
Married and so adorable! Congratulations Jim and David may you have a lifetime of love, joy, and happiness! What a pleasure it was to work on your wedding!
Delivering all the flower pieces to the Brentwood Bay and Resort.
Kristin's bridal bouquet was so lovely with roses, hyacinth, dendrobium orchid florets, muscari and stephanotis with pearl and berry accents. I truly loved making this bouquet. It smelled divine.
Aaron's boutonniere to match his lovely bride's bouquet.
Kristin had ordered dresses for her bridesmaids online. They did not arrive in time for the wedding and she found these ones instead. I think they went beautifully with the bridesmaids bouquets I made.
The lovely wedding party!
Kristin and Aaron's wedding was an intimate affair of close family and friends. I arranged all the floral pieces with Kristin via email as they were coming from Edmonton for the wedding. We decided on these simple but elegant centerpieces of submerged dendrobium orchids with floating candles to help her stay within her floral budget. They were placed at intervals down the length of the banquet tables.
Sometimes, I just make the most beautiful bouquet for the bride to simply toss away ;) Her teen-age little sister caught the bouquet and when she did her father told her to toss it back!!
Kristin and Aaron got married!! I thank them both for letting me be a small part of their special day and wish them a lifetime of love and happiness. All these lovely photos are courtesy of Lara Eichhorn Photography.
