Lessons in Flower Arranging . . . and Kyle & Beth's Wedding

Recently I had the opportunity to help one of our friends from church, Jody, do the flowers for the big wedding of our other church friends, Kyle & Beth. It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun, interesting to learn, and the end-product was very beautiful. As an added bonus, we got to stay and visit with Brandy!

The church arrangements...these were wired to long candle holders on the end of the pews, unfortunately I don't have a picture of the final product, but it was beautiful

the major reception centerpieces--curly willow with orchids and hanging candles, which transformed the ballroom

Jody & Clara
Jason & Julia
Clara kept dragging Jake out onto the dance floor :)
At the end of the reception, in apparent New Orleans tradition and because Beth loves beads, we tossed beads at the happy couple as they left. This is what I did with my beads when I got home :)

The flowers look very lovely. The picture of you and Jake is also very nice. You are a very nice looking couple.

Thanks, Erin, for showing off pics of Cutie Pie Clara and the handiwork of her mama. Those flowers look fabulous!
