2 days...5 weddings!

July 25 & 26, 2008...2 days/ 5 weddings

There are always certain weekends in a florist's year that are busier than usual. As a business that specializes in wedding floral décor, we often wonder what causes certain weekends to be very quiet (maybe just one event) and others that brides keep calling about. While this time of year it is quite normal to do 2 or 3 weddings in a weekend, this particular weekend we had 3 scheduled on Friday and 2 for Saturday.

Here is a recap of three of the five:

The coolers were filled with a wide assortment of beautiful flowers...each bride has her own style, and we at Butera The Florist do our best to fulfill her dreams!

Maggie was one of the Friday weddings...she wanted a tropical island feel.

We chose the combination of Hot pink, vivid orange and citrus green colors, and worked with roses, Mokara orchids, jade trechelium and green hypericum in the handtied bouquets.

The pergola at Heritage was decorated with the same vivid colors, in addition to the billowing tulle.           

A beautiful setting that was flavored with the steel drum playing the ceremony music!

Moving into the pavilion, the guest tables were alive with vivid orbs and orchids...some low, some elevated, some hot pink with orange, some orange with citrus green...FUN, FUN, FUN!!!

Saturday started at St. Patrick's Church for Becky's wedding.

The classic elegant altar was accented by two flowing designs.

Becky chose a full, flowing cascade Bridal Bouquet of all white featuring roses, orchids and stephanotis.

Her attendants carried handtied bouquets of three varieties of roses; esperance, cool water & lovely Lydia, with a few pink cymbidium orchids.

The same color feel was designed into the very classic table centerpieces for her reception at the Country Club of York.

The same three varieties of roses were used, along with red grapes and ivy. A trio of candles finished off the classic décor. A matching waterfall design was placed on the sweetheart table.

For our fifth and final wedding event of the weekend, Katie wanted bright and happy...and what better than "sunrich gold" sunflowers, skyline roses, yellow mini calla, accented with  green hypericum and jade trechelium.

Her outdoor ceremony at Box Hill was punctuated with a picture-perfect day (sorry, I don't get the credit for that!)
