Kit's and Rachel's Bridals, Part 2

When I dropped off the flowers for Christopher's and Rachel's wedding,

I saw the pictures from their bridal portraits and thought they were beautiful.  

They were gracious enough to share some of their pictures with me.

Christopher's and Rachel's Wedding

                                   
I've decided I really love lilies and roses together, but I learned that lilies are unpredictable.  I had to switch gears for the bridesmaids bouquets, but I thought they turned out darling.  Thanks Christopher and Rachel, (and Stacey), for letting me do your flowers!

Kit's and Rachel's Bridals

When Rachel asked me to do her flowers, she told me she wasn't too picky on the design. 

 She showed me a variety of bouquets and they all had one thing in common...Stargazer lilies. (They are beautiful).  I had not yet attempted a cascading bouquet, and figured this would be a great opportunity when I knew I had a bride that
 would be happy with almost anything. 

 I was a little nervous to try, but surprisingly, it wasn't too hard to do!  

The thing I was most stressed about was the boutonniere.

 I had to get a little creative because these lilies are HUGE!

  I couldn't get a small lily to open, so I took the smallest bloom of the bunch

 and removed three of the petals.  It was still a very large boutonniere,

 but I hope it worked okay.  It was a pleasure to do these flowers, 

and I hope I can come close to duplicating it for their wedding day! 

 Thanks to Alexa for holding the bouquet while I took the picture!
