During my drive home, there is always one element of decor that sticks out about a wedding. It could have been the bouquets, the pool floater, the sign in arrangement or the large food centerpiece, but today it was by far the incorporation of fruits and vegetables into my floral table centres.
Amanda, my bride, expressed her love of the very unusual pin cushion protea. I knew I would incorporate this unique, tropical bloom into as much of the decor as possible.
A Southern Summer Soiree was the appropriate setting to incorporate the luscious, ripe and ready to eat Alabama home grown tomato. My idea was to have the tomatoes, oranges and apples alternating into the large glass cylinders and introducing at every turn a pin cushion protea adding the new element of texture under the glass. After a willow ring of mango mini callas and green cymbidium orchids adorned the top of the glass, the trio blend of orange hues was brought to life. Believe me, there is nothing more tempting than a luscious tomato in the middle of July heat!
Mango Mini Callas and Pin Cushion Proteas were definitely the flowers of choice for the bride. Everything from the groomsmen bouts to the bistro accents pulled the colors and flowers into the overall summer scheme.
Not only did the centerpieces get photographed, but we couldn't resist playing around in the cool summer sun! Here are a few fun shots!
They thought that this was so funny! Don't they know I can't write the paychecks from in here?!?
This is one of my favorite pictures of Beth! We all enjoy what we do for a living and it makes every minute worth it!
Thanks Amanda for letting me be creative side of your event! It looked so good, I could almost taste it!
