I've already posted pictures of Matti's bouquet but I couldn't resist this picture.
The groom's boutonniere.
This is by far my favorite arrangement from this wedding. I love the height and all the different textures and elements--the bare branches with dendrobium orchids juxtaposed with the straight lines of the horsetail grass, the voluptuous dahlias next to the chartreuse frog eyes, the clear glass pedestal and the black philodendron leaves.
The bare winter branches of the crepe myrtle tree are perfect for weaving the small stems of dendrobium orchids--no wiring required.
Originally Dan and Matti had planned on just having three white calla lilies in a vase for their centerpieces. I suggested that perhaps we could come up with something more interesting. It's amazing how the artful addition of one black philodendron leaf, three stalks of horsetail grass, and some black bear grass can make such a huge difference.
The cake.
