Katie and William



Heaven knows that I love it when a bride makes choices that are different from the norm. So when Katie approached me with a couple of REALLY different ideas, I was hooked. Katie had very little flower knowledge, but she knew that she wanted something that had never been done before, her colors were bright and vivid, and she had some stone and wood accents created by her father that she wanted to incorporate into the centerpieces. I can work with that! The only other restriction that she had was a hard-rocking fiance named William who was sporting waist-length hair, multiple piercings and tats including sleeves, and a very small desire to deal with flowers even on his wedding day. Hmm. So we need to 'man up' the flowers, so to speak? Challange accepted!

We used bright red and yellow sunflowers, violet orchids, blue thistle, spiney protea pins, and celocia...it's the one that looks like brains! I even included a small yellow sphere called a billy ball in honor of the groom. Weeds, tropicals, brains and balls?...add in some silver metal wrapping around the flower fun, and we ended up with some truly different, unique and incredibly cool arrangements! Thanks again, Katie for the awesome experience, and you too, William, for enjoying the manliness with us!
