| For the bride: a hand tied bouquet featuring blue hydrangea, green cymbidiums, white Oriental lilies and white dahlias |
My bride eloped Saturday at the Column’s Hotel in New Orleans. What a romantic spot for that special day! I was honored to be the one providing her flowers. She told me that she wanted a strong contrast of bright blue and ivory with accents of green. Of course, we utilized vibrant hydrangea for the blue and exotic cymbidiums for the green accent. For the white tones, we added fragrant lilies (I checked—no allergies here), dahlias and ranunculas. The result, a stunning combination. I wish I could have stayed for the ceremony. You plan these wedding flowers for so long-- you think about them, you dream about them, you stress about them. Whether it’s large or small, when that magical day finally arrives, you just want to see your bride walk down that aisle and have her fairy tale moment!
