All Things Bright & Beautiful

Jen & Clint Walker’s June 2011 wedding was filled with all things bright and beautiful. This delightful couple were so much fun from the start. Their love story is a precious one. Clint is a local Southeast Texan, and Jen is a transplant from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!

Jen’s only request was for her wedding to be bright and cheery, which suits her personality perfectly. They both have a love of snapdragons, and Jen loves lilies and gerbera daisies. Throw in a love of burnt orange, and with that we began our design work for her bridal flowers, ceremony decor, and reception decor!

The ceremony was at First United Methodist Church, Port Neches, Texas (mine and Clint’s home church!). The bride carried a large bouquet of Sunset and Freedom lilies; bright yellow, orange, and pink gerbera daisies; green pompoms and hypericum; and snapdragons. The bridesmaids carried smaller bouquets of the Sunset lilies surrounded by Orange Mango callas. Their bouquets were stunning against their turquoise dresses.  All bouquets were braided with orange ribbon and adorned with crystal buckles and dangling prisms. The groom’s and groomsmen’s boutonnieres were a single calla with a sprig of green hypericum. Clint’s had an added sprig of snapdragon.

The aisle was showcased with four large bouquets of Jen’s flowers with orange streamers and dangling crystals. The chancel was flanked with two large urn and candle arrangements.  During the service Jen and Clint stepped to a pedestal which featured three monogrammed mini banners and their sand ceremony vessels.

The reception was held at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Nederland, Texas. The tables were draped with brown satin floor-length cloths and accented with scarves and runners of turquoise.  Jen’s and Clint’s table feature an extra-large topiary of Jen’s favorite flowers. Her bridal party’s two reserved tables were centered with bronze lanterns and a triple arrangement of yellow, green, and hot pink. Two areas of the reception were criss-crosses of banquet tables centered with a small round table and a large topiary of Jen’s gerbera daisies. Other tables had topiaries and arched candelabras. All were draped with crystal strands. The DJ’s lighting really enhanced the decor!

The adorable wedding cakes by Debbie LaRue were on large round tables with turquoise satin linens accented with black runners and scarves.  The B & B Elegant Decor original design backdrop was stunning behind the cake tables.  A black drape framed the angled backdrop of bamboo, curly willow, and crystal strands.

An Elegant Summer Affair

What a joy it was to work with Mindy & Kevin Hickman on their June 2011 wedding. I think we had our first consultation in November 2010, and after that most of our communication was via email since the bride and groom live in Atlanta, Georgia! The ceremony took place in Mindy’s home church, the United Methodist Temple, in Port Arthur, Texas. The reception followed at the elegant John Gray Reception Center on 8th floor of the John Gray Library, Lamar University, Beaumont, Texas.

Mindy knew what she wanted–for her wedding and reception to say “Summer!” We did that with beautiful ivory and pale yellow roses, green lisianthus, hydrangeas, and stock. Lemon fresh candles, large floral arrangements, aisle posies, and lots of crystal strands completed the look.

The bride carried a bouquet of ivory and pale yellow roses, green lisianthus, freesia, and sweet pea. Her bridesmaids carried smaller bouquets which were perfect against their apple green bridesmaids’ dresses.  All bouquets were adorned with pearl accents, crystal buckles and dangling prisms. The men’s boutonnieres of green lisianthus really popped against their black tuxes.

The reception was filled with vases of fresh cut lemons and limes topped with arrangements of Mindy’s flowers.  Each of the three main areas of the reception was centered with a large candelabra draped with crystal strands and prisms. Several tables were adorned with delicate topiaries, and others featured smaller silver and crystal candelabras.

Sophistication with Style ~ Wedding Reception

Chad & Amanda enjoyed a destination wedding and then returned to Port Neches, Texas, for a wedding reception with their friends and family.  Working with Amanda and her wedding planners, Amberly Dorrell and Annie Schroeder of Paisley Park Events, was a complete joy.  We worked through several designs before Amanda settled on a free-form vase arrangement of creamy white Enchantment Lilies and purple lisianthus, my new favorite flower!
