WEDDING BLOG

Heather Krcha, owner of Wild Poppy, a fabulous Texas floral design company, sent me these images from a recent wedding she and her team worked on at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin. The event was a combination of “Austin Hippie” and “Houston Socialite” which produced a gorgeous casual chic feel. Just from seeing the photos, I adore how flowers were the main theme of the day and were carried through in all parts of the wedding design. Heather’s favorite idea, and a total hit with the guests, was covering a 48 inch round table in moss and individual Zinnias for each of the guests to take as they arrived. Tucking them into their lapels or hair, each person was honored and each flower was loved. I don’t know about you, but when I have a fresh flower tucked into my hair I instantly feel brighter, happier and so, so pretty! What a sweet gift to give to all the people you love on your wedding day! Thanks Heather!

Pacific Northwest brides, mark your calendars. Next Saturday, November 3rd, is the Fall Bridal Spectacular and Wedding Auction at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center, downtown Seattle. Wedding shows always provide a great way to meet potential vendors, but the Wedding Auction is what’s getting everyone excited this year! To benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation, local wedding professionals of all kinds have donated packages and services to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. You can bid on everything from invitations, flowers, cakes and dresses, to photography, transportation, registries and honeymoon suites, and know that 100% of the auction profits are going straight to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. It’s a great chance for you to get fabulous services for your wedding, and to make a difference to people in need at the same time. Visit FallBridal.com to learn more, buy tickets, and to download the complete auction item list.
