GREEN CYMBIDIUMS

I thought it would be nice to profile a wedding of someone I work with at least 2 weekends a month. Ashley is a coordinator for Tracy Marini of Eventfully Yours. I was honored they requested I provide the floral for her very special day. Ashley was such a delight to work with. Here ceremony was at their church with the reception being held at Orlando Museum of Art in Orlando. Ashley carried a bouquet of hand wired mini cybmidium orchid blossoms with an arelia leaf collar. It is not common to do mini cymbidium orchids, but the end result was stunning. The female attendants carried a white rose and mini cymbidum orchid bouquet.
Each side of the stage was dressed with an upright arrangement of roses, Bells of Ireland, curly willow branches and natural greenery designed atop our custom dragon wood trunk bases covered with moss. These were later moved to the reception to flank the entrance from the cocktail reception foyer to the dinner reception.
A simple, clean and crisp garden feel was the scene for the reception. Apple green bengaline(maybe lamour) sashes dressed the white garden chairs and used as a runner over the crisp white linens. No one ties sashes like our friends at BBJ Linens. Some tables had a water filled 28" palace vase with white dendrobium orchid sprays, while others had three varying size cylinders filled with water and topped with bear grass framed white hydrangea.
The cake was accented with green cymbidium orchid blossoms and a cake topper to mimic Ashley's bouquet. Fern shimmer sheer dressed the cake table and sweetheart table.
