Eliza and Gary

Gary and Eliza came to me asking for a pretty fall look utilizing one of her favorite flowers, the sunflower. They wanted fall colors but without using leaves and October's usual pumpkin and Halloween influences. The combination we chose ended up looking spectacular as you can see in some of the photos I have from their wedding.

I used pale orange stargazer lilies, pale orange roses, sunflowers, seeded eucalyptus, and dark burgundy hypericum berries also adding burnt umber wheat to the bouquets and mini sunflower boutonnieres.










Here you see a close up of the mini sunflowers and wheat boutonnieres. I just loved how the sunflower centers matched the beautiful silk rust ties the groomsmen wore!
The bridesmaids bouquets complimented the rust and chocolate dresses tying the hand tied bouquets of sunflowers, stargazer lilies and wheat with a wide satin rust colored bow.














The alter arrangements were silk flowers purchased by the bride and groom prior to their decision to use real flowers. I added the wheat upon arranging these beautiful copper  colored metal floor urns as a way to tie in the bouquets and boutonnieres. They looked so real at the alter not one person realized they were silk!
