Bringing the Outdoors In

I haven't posted on my blog for a few weeks, it's been a busy time. I couldn't think of a better way of getting back into the groove of posting than to share some work I did last Friday and joining the blogging party, Outdoor Wednesday hosted by Susan at A Southerner Daydreamer.

On occasion a friend of mine who has a flower business and does flowers for weddings will ask me to help out when she is short of man power. My daughter works with her regularly. This particular day my friend found herself short of some workers that can do large flower arrangements so she called me to come help. Flower arranging is one of my passions and putting together flowers for a wedding is such a JOY. This happened to be for the Rehearsal Dinner but all the flowers were just gorgeous.

The location was our Governor's Club which is a beautiful venue in itself but to add to the beauty were these amazing flower arrangements. My daughter and I were given the task of putting together the flowers for the entry area in the bar.

When one walked up the stairs to the upper floor and bar area this was their first impression so they had to be spectacular.

This was the first one I put together and the prototype for the others.

We used shades of white and I thought so interesting the use of the kale.

It was interesting that the grooms mother chose to begin the Rehearsal Dinner with shades of white and as you moved to the main dining room used hot pinks with the Bride and Grooms table in white.

Even the chandelier was festooned with flowers.

There were still lots of people working, the sound man was setting up, the finishing touches were taking place, everything being cleaned and it was a gorgeous setting.

I left with a good feeling and enjoyed one of my passions, working with flowers. I find it to be such an uplifting thing for me.
