Orange Wedding

This Wedding was a lot of fun to work on. My hands became really sticky very fast after slicing a bunch of oranges. We also had to add the oranges to the arrangements the day of the wedding set-up because if the oranges were left over night with the flowers, the flowers could die.

Here are some arrangements that I helped with.





I also got to help with "Tuxedo" ribboning some of the bouquets and even the bride's bouquet.

Purple Wedding 3

This last Saturday I went on a set-up with Lindsay, another really experience designer. We had to set up in the afternnon and go all the way to Deer Valley which was about an hour drive. With this set-up, we had to do more than place the arrangements. I had to first, tie a ribbon around the chairs on the sides of the wedding isle to hold up the arrangements as shown below.



We also had to put the iron rides in the ground to hold the bigger arrangements where the ceremony was going to be held.




Here are some of the centerpieces that we placed on the tables.





Here is the ring-bearers pillow made out of moss.


By the time we had set everything up, we still had to put the petals done the isle. The problem was, was that people were already there. It was a little embarrassing for me putting the petals on the ground when people were right there. I guess I was the “unofficial flower girl.”


The cake was my favorite part because Lindsay actually let me put some of the flowers in the cake. It was a little nerve racking knowing that I was putting holes in the cake but it turned out fine. I really liked it how Lindsay was teaching me through the whole process. She kept asking me my opinion about if the cake looked okay. She would quiz me by asking me, “Does the cake need anything else?” I was really glad that I went on this set with Lindsay.

My First Wedding Set Up

On June 6, 2009 I went on my first wedding set up. I helped with some of the centerpieces shown below.



Making the arrangements were pretty easy. Because all the arrangements were the same, it was like following a recipe after making centerpiece after centerpiece. I really had a lot of fun making them.

After working on these arrangements the past couple of days, we loaded them up in the delivery vans. I went with Josh, who is one of the delivery drivers. We went to the location of the where the reception was going to be held. When we arrived we were allowed to use the bride’s room to set up the arrangements. Some of the centerpieces we had to actually set up there. We first had to fill all the tall containers with water had to add ribbon to the arrangements as shown below.


When Mark, the manager arrived, he put the flowers on the cake.



Mark also set the buffet arrangement and the arrangements on the Bride and Groom's table.




Josh and I then sporadically placed the tall and short centerpieces around the room. This was the final result.

Wedding Flowers Workshop

In our Wedding Flowers Workshop each girl were given different flowers. So you could either be happy with your flowers or not, either way you had to make it work. I was given yellow roses, white statice and orchids. In the end I was really happy for what I came up with. My wedding bouquet was then displayed in the Flower Event Show.
