Anne and John Smith, November 11, 2011

This was such a fun wedding!  Anne and John Smith were so nice to work with.  This wedding had lots of textures and colors including metallic grey with deep oranges and pops of hot pink!  Perfecto!  

Speaking of interesting colors and patterns  look at those socks!

Anne and John did it right. nbsp; They picked the venue NEO on Locust in midtown St. Louis for both their reception and ceremony location.  The ceremony was downstairs and after the ceremony ended guests made their way to the second floor for cocktails, dinner and dancing.  Having both the ceremony and reception at NEO means convenience for the guest.  

When it comes to colors, I gotta say, orange is a great color for fall. nbsp; It's a color with such so many flowers choices that have texture, color, size and shape.  Anne’s inspiration for the reception was a contemporary feel with warm soft lighting and florals. 

My favorite flower used in this design:  Japanese Lanterns.  They are real flowers that have a texture similar to paper lanterns and they provide height to the room.  We also used Alstromeria and Curly Willow in the tall design and roses and protea in the smaller cylinders.  

I just love the texture of these bouquets.  Protea, Calla Lilies, Circus Roses and Cushion Mums.  The pop of pink in the bouquets is Gomphrena.  The junior bride's bouquet included Red Alstromeria.  

Thanks so much to Kelly Park Photography for capturing all the love!  And we were so happy to work with Sabrina Torti from Proposing Dreams. You really pulled everything together for an amazing day!
