Tropical Paradise

I love working at a venue that offers something different. You may not know, but Greenery Productions is proudly the exclusive floral and foliage provider for the Loews Hotels at Universal Orlando which includes the Portofino Bay Hotel, Hard Rock Hotel and Royal Pacific Resort. It was such a pleasure to work with Rosemary on this wedding. Meredith carried a bouquet of bombay orchids, mini green cymbidium orchid blossoms and garnet glow mini calla lilies all accented with variegated liriope.

The girls carried an all bombay orchid bouquet accented with loops of variegated liriope with the same as a stem wrap accented with peacock blue pearl pins.

As evident, orchids were the theme of this wedding. The couple absolutely loved the lobby of the Royal Pacific Resort which is home to hundreds of exotic potted orchid specimens.

The tables were dressed with turquoise lamour and nile lamour for the chairs with a shimmer sheer sash all provided by BBJ Linen. The tropical centerpieces included birds of paradise, green and purple dendrobium orchid sprays, coontie fern variegated liriope.

The ceremony was held beach side overlooking the lake. You couldn't have asked for better weather. Just a slight breeze as the potted orchid gardens stood witness to the couple exchanging vows.

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.
