True Love Tuesday: Gardenia Love

What better way to start off February than with a blog about one of our True Love bride's?!

This bride came to us with two requests: white and gardenia's. Wow. Gardenias are not the most common choice of flower for bride's today which made her request even more special to us. (We love when we get requests for uncommon flowers.) Once we were finished with her wedding design we loved it even more, and wow-our shopped smelled extra great even after we had delivered!

Enjoy all of our lovely details from that day!!

A "manly" take on a boutonniere that is made from gardenias. 

A pomander, or "kissing ball", made from fresh carnations for the flower girl. 

A beautiful posy for mom that matched the brides bouquet.

This bouquet will definitely be going into our favorites.
Hydrangea and gardenias were all that were used to create her look.

This special touch made us all tear up a bit. She carried all of her favorite people with her on her big day.

Garden Wedding with Phalaenopsis Orchids

While this Garden Wedding occurred in late March, it certainly felt like a summer garden party.  Partly, of course, because it was held at the beautiful Botanical Garden of the Ozarks.  I've been looking forward to this wedding since last year!  When I first spoke to the bride and groom, I knew right away this was a wedding that would be both fun and beautiful!
