Kinda chilly today

Its a good soup day, its been raining off and on and temps in the lower 50s. I am making soup when I get home, a creamy wild rice soup that has bits of ham, chopped up carrots, mushrooms and celery, some rosemary, a little thyme...and I am stopping to get a nice loaf of bread to go with. Yum! Can't wait!

Todays weddings

I had two weddings today that I did the floral designs for, each individual, just like the couples getting married. One was in Fremont, along the Wolf River. Bright colors, hot orange, vibrant blue, white accents. The black wrought iron arch was set up next to the shoreline, where I draped a long garland with fresh orange gerbera daisies, bright blue delphinium, white daisies along with lots of organza ribbon. The bridesmaids wore short bright blue dresses, the men wore khaki pants and blue Hawaiian shirts. The bride and groom barefoot in a pool of water. The other wedding was in Green Bay, the flowers were white and pink peonies. The girls wore honeydew melon green dresses with their exquisitely scented pink peonies, the bride in white with all white peonies. For the tables set up in the white tent, green wine bottles with peonies, some had two white, some had two pink, some had a pink and a white, accented with curly willow and an organza bow in honeydew. Classy, not overdone, just right. Thats one of the things I love most about doing wedding design, to capture the essence, the feel, the mood that describes each couple perfectly. Some vibrant, some romantic, some casual, some formal, some traditional, some avant garde, each one as unique as they are.
