Monday's December Wedding

Stephanie Monday hired us to design her wedding flowers for her December 13th wedding with a few key elements: she wanted red and white, modern and sophisticated yet simple. The florals we created for her prompted her to send us an email with this message:

"...I knew they were going to be awesome, but when I saw them, they far exceeded my expectations. I received so many compliments on them! I wasn't planning to preserve my bouquet, but once I saw it, I changed my mind. I will definitely be suggesting Bloomtastic to anyone I know who is getting married in the Columbus area!"

Stephanie's bouquet was a collection of rich red lilies as the focal flower on top of a canvas of white roses with splashes of deep red hypericum berries. The eight bridesmaid's carried a bouquet of just white lilies and red hypericum berries for a wintry feel.

The reception was decked out with 15 red poinsettias with silver metallic covers, which came from a local grower of award-winning poinsettias.

Saying I Do, Citrus Style

Katie Tincher's wedding to Andy in November might have been a tad chilly weather wise but the colors were bright and warm! She loved the idea of incorporating fruit into her lush centerpieces of all white hydrangeas and snap dragons so we sliced up fresh oranges and they made the perfect finishing touch. Katie's bouquet was a sophisticated collection of vivid orange roses accompanied by white miniature callas and splashes of orange Mokara orchids, which she also wore in her hair. To include her love of Tiffany blue, which was her accent color, blue-colored pearls accentuated the white ribbon adorning the stems. The bridesmaid's chocolate brown dresses were complimented by their bouquets of white full size callas with a hint of tangerine on the stems. Katie and party were thrilled with the flowers, she "loooooved" her bouquet and so did one of her guests...so much she hired us the following week for her 2009 wedding!
