...Spring Weddings (continued 2)

Julie Gridley & Craig Wilson mixed it up for us by hosting a Friday afternoon wedding  at a private home on May 21!  The bride carried a bouquet of white and bright green new growth hydrangeas that was accented with ivory ribbon and pearl pins.  The bridesmaids donned black dresses and carried white Fuji mums based with lemon leaf and wrapped in a kiwi green double-faced satin ribbon.  In keeping with the green and white florals, the corsages and boutonniere's were made of spray roses, coffee berries and fresh greens.

May 22 was the day Lindsay Kidd & Dave Kirk as well as Amy Weaver & Chris Kleparek chose to tie the knot!  Ironically both couples also had their weddings in Landfall.

Lindsay & Dave had an intimate ceremony at Kenan Chapel that was succeeded by a reception at The Surf Club.  Their color selections bounced off a base of aqua blue.  Body flowers created for this couple's playful affair included blooms such as white dendrobium orchids, green hypericum, soft pink spray roses and white calla lilies.

On the other end of the property, New York couple, Amy & Chris were celebrating at Country Club of Landfall's main clubhouse.  The jewel-like color palette included citrine yellow, amethyst purple, peridot green & diamond white.  Their stylish nuptials began with an outdoor garden wedding at Airlie Gardens.  Amy carried all white--peonies, nigella, stock, French tulips, roses & Queen Anne's lace.  Her bridesmaids wore light chartreuse colored dresses and purple pumps.  To match, they carried a mix of dark purple stock, yellow and white spray roses, purple dendrobium orchids and green new growth hydrangeas.  Other arrangements also included purple blooms of asters, veronica and campanula.  The green came through in the arrangements from materials like hanging amaranthus, ivy, bells of Ireland, lady's mantle, lemon leaf, variegated pittosporum, bear grass, aspidistra leaves, seeded eucalyptus, moss and rye grass.  Curly willow and white hydrangeas were also used in various pieces.

Finally to cap it all off, on May 29, our Memorial Day weekend brides and grooms were as follows:



Jen Ferguson & Andy Ward had an exquisite outdoor ceremony and reception downtown at the historic Dudley Mansion.  Their wedding had a vintage 1920's aura.  Jen carried a classic bouquet of white and green new growth hydrangeas, cream cabbage roses, white lisianthus with lavender tips, succulence, tuberose, white dendrobium orchids, ivory spray roses, white peonies, blackberries, bells of Ireland and rosemary.  Other decor at this outdoor fête included strings of dendrobuim orchids, crystal and pearl gels inside vases and floating candles.

Katie Foster & Josh Myles celebrated their nuptials at the Country Club of Landfall's original Dye clubhouse after their nearby ceremony at Temple Gardens.  Katie wanted to keep the feel casual, simple and beachy, yet still maintain an element of elegance.  To do this via florals, we opted for garden blooms in bright ocean-complimenting colors like white, sky blue, salmon pink, green and khaki.  Katie's bouquet popped off of her champagne colored dress and consisted of white mini calla lilies and blue muscari and was wrapped in a sky blue double-faced satin ribbon.  The bridesmaids wore sky blue dresses and toted bouquets of white & blue hydrangeas, bright green new growth hydrangeas, salmon peonies, blue muscari, white spray roses, salmon & green coffee berries and bear grass.  Raffia was used to accent.

Last but certainly not least, we can't forget Julia Wicker & Darren Lee's real life fairytale wedding!  Friends and family enjoyed watching the two tie the knot in an outdoor ceremony on the lawn of Julia's mother's waterfront home.  The tent overlooking Figure 8 Island and the glistening Intracoastal Waterway was lavishly adorned with enchanting purple blooms.  Julia followed her dendrobium & rose halo, wing wearing & glittering wand waving flower girls down an aisle of lavender rose petals carrying a fresh mix of white hydrangeas, cymbidium orchids and green dendrobium orchids.  Her bridesmaids who wore iridescent purple dresses toted matching bouquets of hydrangeas, dendrobium orchids, roses and greenery.  The party moved on to the Country Club of Landfall for a celestial reception where sparkly butterflies were abundant.  Other flowers used throughout their day include white & green roses, white & lavender wax flower, green mini cymbidium orchids, dark purple stock, white and fuchsia phalaenopsis orchids and metallic silver branches of curly willow.
