I found this beautiful little Victoria's Secret box at a thrift store the other day while I was looking for inspiration for table designs for our Sunday wedding show. At that point I was trying to be open-minded and think outside-the-box for a floral container. As it turns out, inside-the-box was just the ticket. Here's what I did with it! And it looked great on the mock reception table at the wedding show.
I realized recently that I have never posted pictures of one of Yamhill County's lovliest wedding venues - Wine Country Farm. It sits high up on Breyman Orchard Road in the Dundee Hills and overlooks the beautiful Yamhill Valley - wine country!
They have this picturesque spot to say your "I do's", as well as at least one other outdoor site: a charming well-established gazebo, covered most of the wedding season with a gorgeous blooming trumpet vine. There's also an indoor area for intimate ceremonies or receptions plus a great under-the-stars dance floor.
The peacock feather boutonnieres were also stunning. I'm guessing their life together will not be boring! Congratulations, Samantha and Anthony.
Early to rise on Flower Market day! I like to leave early enough to miss the traffic and be back to the shop in time for morning deliveries. The flower market always inspires me - and today the sales staff at Billingsley Wholesale gave me the (unofficial) award for prettiest selections of the day. I can't wait to start creating beautiful wedding arrangements out of them! Check in later this week to see what we do with the pretty red flowers I bought today.
ve working with dried flowers! I love the smell; I love the textures and variety; I love the colors. They are definitely getting harder to find though. Some of these were dried by us and some were purchased from the wholesale market. I think they are not as in-fashion as they once were so fewer places are carrying them. And they really are not "everlasting". They deteriorate over time - especially when pawed through on market shelves!
