Yes, I am asked to use daisies often. I'll admit that they didn't use to be a favorite for me, and I would groan inwardly when I got requests about the blooms. When Calle came along, I thought it would be more of the same...oh, how wrong I was!
Not only did Calle have a very specific idea of what she wanted her wedding to be, and what she wanted it to look like ten months in advance of the date when we met with her, but she stuck to those ideas right to the very end! Choosing daisies in a citrus combination of a melon pink, orangie-orange, lemon yellow, and her signature lime green, the combinations were so fun to see! She wore a single orange daisy in her hair at her engagement session on the Heber Creeper Railroad. At her bridal session at Lagoon she made sure to wear her green-bottomed shoes, carried a lime green umbrella (which came in handy through the small showers we experienced), but she also got her choice of cars and seats throughout the park, and every time she chose the green car closest to her! She was always aware and prepared!
For her wedding, each of the bridesmaids wore coordinating tracksuits and flip-flops during the decorating hours and then put on their gowns which had been tailored specifically to coordinate those colors again...matching their flowers to their dresses. If the maid wore a green dress, her accent colors of ribbon, heels, and flowers were white. If she were in pink, the yellow accents showed up through every detail. It was planned down to the last tiny thing, and I was thrilled to be included in something so well designed!
A couple of other sweet touches to the day were a tiny green boutonniere for her four year old son as well as small photo frames attached to her bouquet of her mother and brother who had both passed away, but who were loved and remembered. Thanks so much again to Calle for all the amazing fun, fantastic design, and the beginnings of daisy love!
