Wedding flowers {Page's test run}

Last month Page, my mom and I went to Oakland to pick up some flowers from the flower mart to do some test runs on making the bridal flowers for Page and Jonathan's June wedding.

Here are some of the photos from the day.

Page's bridal bouquet with her rings in the middle.


Page picked this jewel up online (I believe -- where she's found many deals, such as her vases for the centerpieces -- also photographed lower).

The blushing bride with her bouquet. The roses in this will also be white. These green roses were the closest we could get to white on the day.

A shot of all the flowers which were purchased on the day in Oakland (and the Lodi Safeway).

These flower balls will be for the flower girl (Jewels) and placed on eight Shepard hooks for the aisle. Again these red carnations will be WHITE for the wedding -- red was the only color on hand to purchase on the day.

An example of the balls which will be placed on the Shepard hooks.

And our little flower girl being the model.

And again being our little model for a few more shots.


This will be the centerpieces (viewed from above).

Again the centerpiece (viewed from table side).

One of the bridesmaids (me) with the bridesmaid bouquet, which is close to the bridal bouquet, but a tab bit smaller and the girls will have green hydrangea where the bride will have white.

Another shot of the bridesmaid bouquet.

The boutonnieres for the men.

A test run with the boutonnieres.

The corsages for the mothers and grandmother.
