Makayla & Alex (Wedding)

I'm in a transition phase. My lil' family have been gypsies for the past several months. Waiting for the end of July so we can drive 3 days, across the country, to our new home in Georgia! I'm a bit behind on updating my blog. Sorry!

I am super duper excited to be posting about Makayla and Alex. I loved doing this wedding!

When delivering flowers, I have received a lot of complements about the work I've done (thank you for them!), but I try to point out that it was the bride who had the final say on all the flower arrangements. So, the bride is the one who should be receiving all the complements. And Makayla really should be, because these arrangements turned out awesome! 

Here is Makayla's bouquet!
(These first four pictures were taken by me on my phone. I was so excited when I finished I had to try to capture an awesome picture.)



Flowers used in her cascading bouquet were pink roses, burgundy and white carnations, white stock, baby's breath, white wax flower, seeded eucalyptus, and aspen leaves.

Makayla also wanted a floral crown! Which are becoming my favorite floral arrangement. 


The flowers used in her crown are burgundy pixie carnations, baby's breath, and myrtle.

Here is Alex's boutonniere. The flowers used here are burgundy pixie carnations, baby's breath, white wax flower. Wrapped in a jute. 


Here are some beautiful photos of this great looking couple taken by Clayton Gornichec, who is their wedding photographer.



Here are some close ups of Makayla! Beautiful!



To set up at the reception I needed some extra hands so I asked my sister-in-law, Hannah Christensen, to come help me. She also took some pictures for me. Thank you!

Here are some pictures of the wedding party's arrangements. 


This is a mother's wrist corsage. Flowers used were pink spray roses and baby's breath.

Grandmother's corsage. Flowers used were pink carnations, white wax flower, baby's breath, and aspen leaves.


Here is the groomsmen boutonniere. Flowers used were pink spray roses and baby's breath.



These are the bridesmaids floral crowns made with baby's breath!




Makayla also wanted baby's breath floral crowns for her three nieces! Love these!

Jute was picked to wrap the boutonnieres and the baby's breath crowns to add to the classic rustic wedding Makayla wanted. The reception was beautiful!

Here are a few pictures of the centerpieces. Each table was arranged differently but all had similar elements and the same flowers. The flowers for the centerpieces were white stock, baby's breath, pink rose, and burgundy carnation.

I did provide the baby's breath for the cake, but the cake was made and arranged by the amazing Ann Richey Nielsen!


I love how these delicious looking naked cakes enhance the rustic feel to weddings, especially this one. Good job Ann!

Makayla wanted extra baby's breath around the reception hall with the other reception decor. I love how the baby's breath, the wood logs and slabs, and the colors all came together to create this classic rustic feel. Loved this reception!



Congratulations Makayla and Alex! I'm beyond thrilled you asked me to help you with your beautiful wedding day! Can you just see the happy love between these two?

"Hannah was so amazing with my flowers! She did every single thing I asked for and it all turned out even better than I imagined! Weddings are so stressful as it is and she was so easy to work with. From delivering the flowers on time and coming and helping set them up. I HIGHLY recommend Pansy Perfect! Not only is she extremely talented, she is very well priced. She works with your budget to give you what you want! Thanks so much Hannah!" -Makayla

Thank you!!!
