The bridesmaids carried nosegays inspired by jewel tone fall colors. Flowers included green hydrangea, red cockcomb, yellow roses, orange spray roses, gold mokara orchids, pink dahlias and pink stock with cooper ribbon treatment.
To keep guests cool and comfortable, the Bride and Groom decided to offer a casual alternative. Men were encouraged to check their coats and the ladies to swap their heels for flip flops in fun colors and styles.
As the guests entered the reception area they were greeted by fresh flowers, candles and vines. The empty vases on the table were later filled with pieces of linen paper for the guests to write names and sentiments for the bride and groom to make a scrapbook out of.
Just past the registry table, against the entry walls were two moss covered trees adorned with fresh flowers, vines, hanging amaranthus and fresh succulents.
The moss trees sat atop our twig tables with a glass top.
As you walked into the main reception area we wrapped arches with honeysuckle vines and random badges of fresh flowers with dripping amaranthus.
Over size amber hurricanes with a fresh badge of flowers were place on cocktail tables.
Guest table centerpieces alternated between tall hanging candelabras and oversize brown metal lanterns. Flowers again included red cockcomb, bright pink dahlias, orange mokaras, yellow roses, snapdragons, pink stock, lime green hydrangea, orange freesia, orange spray roses, curly willow and hanging amaranthus.
The lounge area had succulent gardens with fresh flowers in moss covered baskets.
The cake sat atop a vine topper with fresh dahlias and succulents under a glass top.
The Grooms cake table had a variety of cactus cakes and real cactus flowers.

Step 1. Pull your gown out of the closet.
Step 2. Call your Bridesmaids to do the same.
Step 3. Hire a great photographer.
Step 4. Let loose and have a blast!
This fabulous idea was brought to our attention by Tiara, one of our Brides from last year. We did her wedding in June of 2010, so for their first anniversary they followed these simple steps to create lasting memories.
