Jan and Dan ~ June 12th
I loved Jan and Dan from the first moment I met them. They were truly a fun couple that shared a lot of my same ideas. It was an honor to be part of their wedding and design them some beautiful blooms! Thanks goes out to Pearls Events for sending them my way!!

Style
The style of the overall floral arrangements was derived from the couples outdoorsy feel and natural appeal. Simplicity was key for their vision. An elaborate bouquet would not have fit the personality of the couple nor their wedding. Their style proved to be my muse for sophisticated and polished arrangements.
Bouquets
The pale pink peonies added a whimsical and romantic touch to the overall feel. The bride wanted to play up a blushing flower without it feeling too girly. The peonies provided an understated elegance that spoke for itself.
Boutonnieres
We thought that a white orchid would be a nice compliment against the pink bouquets, while still maintaining a stylish feel when by itself. Also, orchids prove to be a durable flower that can last throughout the day.
Local Connections
It was not difficult to source these flowers locally, in fact it ended up being more cost efficient. Our bride was on a budget, so in the end it was beneficial for both parties. Also, it is important to both the bride and me that we support our local businesses. The relationships we built with Ponderosa floral in Hamilton, Michigan proved to be a blessing. Their loyalty and quality of work was superb.
