CHARLES + MEGAN

Charles and Megan are such a beautiful couple! They got married at the English Inn in Eaton Rapids this past weekend. The setting was beautiful, and we ended up having the perfect weather!

Megan really allowed me to design the flowers for her, which I really appreciated. She wanted a modern twist with an elegant garden feel to match the setting. I absolutely loved how everything turned out! Megan's dress was simple and very elegant. It swooped to one side with three layers of ruffles, which inspired the three layers of dendrobium lei in her bouquet. We also used a variety of colors and textures through mokara orchids, roses, cockscomb, knotted zebra lily grass, succulents, hanging amaranthus, scabiosa, calla lilies, lambs ear leaves, and other greens.

The girls wore a beautiful medium color coral. The bouquets were a mixture of plums, lavenders, coral, orange, and reds, which really gave a bright fall feel. The flowers included dendrobium orchids, succulents, roses, cockscomb, hanging amaranthus, scabiosa, artichoke, stock, dahlias, lisiathus, calla lilies, sedum, and lambs ear leaves.

Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day, Megan and Charles. Congratulations!

CHARLES + MEGAN: REHEARSAL DINNER

Charles' parents also hired me to do the flowers for the rehearsal dinner. Jane's colors were green and apricot, and she wanted something with an exotic feel, inspired by Charles and Megan's upcoming honeymoon in Aruba. The tables were 25 feet long, and the rooms were kind of small. So, I created sections of garland with a variety of greens and orchids using varigated ginger leaves, pittsporum, camelia foliage, nagi, hydrangea, mokara orchids, cybidium orchids, and fuji mums. They turned out beautiful!

Thanks for letting me work with you, Jane. You have a very nice family!
