2011 Weddings: Pinks, Creams & Greens Part 3

Here we are, the final segment of our grand wedding at Oak Tree! Finally, we're to the ceremony! (If you missed it, Part 1 & 2 are just below! They walk you through the reception and bridal party pieces.)

Now, Oak Tree's gazebo & grounds are so pretty on their own that it doesn't demand much decoration. In this case, our bride went with simple touches, just enough to enhance the site, but not to overwhelm it. Take a look:

Okay, so the W stands out a bit! But it was supposed to!

Our bride was using her soon-to-be last initial as a theme throughout the entire wedding, so she really wanted it to walk through it on her way up the aisle!


Almost 200 roses later and voila! A 'W' appeared!


The gazebo was touched with two pieces on each side:




The same flowers as in the reception pieces: green hydrangeas & dendrobium orchids, deep fuschia carnations & sweet william, pink alstromeria, calla lilies & asters & curly, curly willow.

I swooned a bit over the way the arrangements looked under those lanterns.

Be sure to check out yesterdays post for Part 1 (the reception) of this gorgeous extravaganza at Oak Tree in Edmond!

Now let's move on to the part you're waiting for... the bridal party.

All. Beautiful. Callas.
Yes. That's what we're talking about.



The Bridal Bouquet:

Love those stunning green tips. It makes the white stand out so much more.

The Bridesmaids Bouquet:


The bridesmaids wore black dresses, so these Garnet Glow calla lilies really stood out! Just a touch of black pins tied their bouquets to their dresses.

Mothers Corsages:
Father's Bout:

This was a military wedding, so there were no boutonnieres for the groom or groomsmen. They were sure handsome in their uniforms!

One last look...

All the callas used in the wedding were specifically mini callas. Those soft green tips really make this piece. Love it when the flowers come in so, so lovely.

2011 Weddings: Pinks, Creams & Greens Part 1

Oh my....can we go ahead and classify this as one of our FAVORITE weddings?! This past Saturday we were moving and grooving up to Oak Tree in Edmond - one of the nicest country clubs in the area (and with super friendly staff!).

Seriously, Julie at Oak Tree is absolutely phenomenal. She'll take awesome care of you.

There's so much to this wedding! Let's go backwards a bit and start with the reception pieces:

I loooove this look. Wrapped up in that glass cylinder is curly willow intermingled with pink and white callas. See?

Love. Love.




More on those airplanes in a minute.

These pieces were filled with green hydrangeas & dendrobium orchids, pink callas, asters, alstromeria & deep fuchsia sweet william & carnations with curly willow stretching to the sky.

And then...the CAKE arrived!


Pink calla lilies tucked into the cake...

This gorgeous creation was designed by Gypsy Cakes in Edmond. Such sweet people making such sweet cakes!

We don't know where these airplanes came from, unfortunately, but they're a super cute idea! The groom is a pilot in the Navy, so this small decorative touch could double as favors. (For this wedding the favors included their initials and wedding date on a golf ball! What a great idea for a golf course setting.)

And finally, the toss/guestbook bouquet that will give you a sneak peak at whats to come with the bridal....


Just gorgeous.

Blog Feature: Our Favorite Weddings

August 11, 2011

Hello all! We're featuring one of my personal favorite weddings today. When the bride came in with midnight blue, tangerine orange & lipstick pink as her colors we were ready for the ride and what a gorgeous ride it was!

I mean, the bridal bouquet alone is worth salivating over...


Orange and pink callas, hydrangeas & roses with delphinium accents.

And the bridesmaids held smaller versions:


Oooo....aaaaah...

The ceremony was held at St. Paul's Methodist Church which is a beautiful church. Notice the way these colors reflect that gorgeous stained glass window in the background.

The altar piece:


For the prayer rail:



The aisle candles:


And the overall views:




And then they were whisked off to the reception site at St. Gregory's Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art (also gorgeous) where the guests mingled not only among each other and the bridal company but the museum as well! The tables were filled with cubes of callas, hydrangeas, delphinium and roses all in the collaborating colors.







And the head table pieces:




Beginning to shape up....


And I can't leave without telling you about my favorite part! The couple had catering brought in from Dave's Donuts on Kickapoo. Dave's made tiny penguin cookies for the reception! They were adorable!
And then I fell in love with this guy:


We decided to name him Gui. We just loved him!
