Succulents & Orchids, A Stevenson Ridge Wedding

This wedding happened in 2012, but I hadn’t yet blogged it – so here it is!! Her bouquet was one of my all time favorites, and her whole wedding was absolutely beautiful! I just loved all the details she incorporated – including adorable bow ties! Her bouquet was wrapped with her grandfather’s buttons – adding to the custom details she chose! This wedding was the day after the major storm came through and knocked out power for most of the area. Our shop also lost power, but I managed to just keep the van running to keep the flowers fresh in the million degree humid weather that day! You would never know – because her wedding turned out just fabulous! For some reason I manage to get quite a lot of JMU brides – this one happened to have a grooms cake that resembled the Quad, and the Duke Dog even made an appearance at her reception! How cool?!I wouldn’t normally pair phalaenopsis orchids with succulents, but WOW, what a fabulous combo!Their table had cards that informed their guests of a donation they would be making – how sweet!Look at that model pup!!
