Tampa Florida Destination Wedding

I had pleasure of doing this wonderful beach wedding in Tampa Florida.

 

It rained so the Groom and Bridal Party used umbrellas which made a great addition to these unique pictures by Jeruel Photography.

Zhane wanted a Chanel Inspired Sweet Sixteen. Everything was fashion oriented.

 

This Candy Buffet was accented with a Paper Flower Wall

 

Motown Themed Centerpieces

 These centerpieces were two of many musical instruments used to commemorate the Motown Themed Gala.

This Saxaphone was filled with a floral arrangement of white hydrangea, white roses, and astrameria.

This table was adorned with a white electric guitar with a pearl white face in addition to surrounding florals.

How to make a Composite Rose Bouquet

One of the new trends in bridal bouquets is something called a Composite Rose or a Composite Rose bouquet.  The term "composite" refers to a manmade flower which is accomplished by gluing petals together or by adding extra petals to a flower to make it appear to be a large bloom.  Here I am going to show the steps to complete the task.

You will need all of your supplies laid out and ready to go because once you begin working with the glue it can be difficult to keep the process moving smoothly.

Step 1:

     You will need roses, Oasis floral glue, a round base (I used a 6 inch cake circle and covered it with ribbon).  I started with a small rose like the one pictured; the bigger rose is after I added a few layers of petals.

Step 2:

     After separating your petals you will begin to glue them to the base of the flower leaving time in between each layer to allow the glue to dry and petal to adhere.

Step 3:

     Add petals to the outer ring of the disk.  The complete rose will not be able to support itself, therefore, the disk will alleviate the pressure from the main rose. 

     Before you cover the disk you must insert a hole in the middle for the stem of the center rose.  Then thread the ribbon through the hole until it is completely covered.

Step 4:

     Place the main rose (which is now a composite rose already thanks to you adding petals to make it larger) through the hole of the disk forming a much, much larger rose.

Step 5:

     Once the top of the Composite Rose Bouquet is complete, you will need to creat a handle for her which you can do by taping or adding the stems previously broken from the roses that you used to create this beautiful bouquet.  Then you will wrap the stems in fabric or rhinestones like you see here.  You will also need to create a collar for the bouquet to fill it out a little more.

CAUTION:  DO NOT USE HOT GLUE, THIS WILL DAMAGE THE PETAL.  Also, be sure to use freshest flowers available; it is important to the overall look of the bouquet.  Throughout the process be sure to keep  your petals damp or in water.

GOOD LUCK!

Tiffany Inspired Rose Centerpiece

My June Bride wanted a Tiffany inspired centerpiece. This is contructed on a square shaped Oasis foam block and adorned with a Tiffany blue/turquoise Ribbon.

 These boxes were on alternate tables.

Curly Willow with roses were attached to the very first pew as you enter the church.

The altar piece consisted of White hydrangea, tea leaves, orange and lavendar roses and curly willow atop a clear vase containing birch. The entire piece set on top of a tree stump dripping in ivy.

The Veiled Lady

This centerpiece was made for an afternoon birthday party. It consisted of yellow roses, tigerlillies, white hydrangea, and bear grass draped across the piece. I call it the veiled lady because it reminds me of a birdcage veil on a hat and the bear grass on top looks like the feather in the ladies hat.

Tropical Birthday Party

This tropical centerpiece was made of blue water in a clear trumpet vase, topped with palm and tea leaves, orange dendrobium orchids, blue delphiniums, and white snap dragons. Black Bacarra Rose Balls and Bear grass.
