The wedding day was a crazy day, but we got it done. Whew! And were we tired. We did the flowers for a wedding at the Biltmore hotel in Los Angeles with 250 guests. We were able to take a few pics but not as many as I would have liked. Hopefully, the bride’s photographer took some more for me.

Break down of flowers totaling over 1500 stems of flowers and greens:

• 24 centerpieces
• 5 bar and cocktail tables
• head table 12 multi vintage vases
• 250 tied ribbon napkins
• 250 tied photos with rosemary with a Flickr account info on back
• 1 ceremony arch (moved from ceremony to the reception for viewing)
• loads and loads of candles in mercury glass votives and vintage looking lotus votives
• 37 spray painted wooden numbers with glitter
• 3 bouquets
• 10 boutonnières
• 3 flower girls- decorated votives to carry in the candle lit ceremony (which I missed so sadly as I was finishing up the reception. Hopefully the photog capture the little votives as they were tooooo cute.)
• 200 yards of vintage lace
• 1 studio rental for prep
• 1 rental van +2 trips
• a really small service elevator (learned my lesson there)
• 2 fabulous assistants for day of and 2 more on prep days (could have used 3 more the day of!!)
• No food for 12 hours (CPK tasted soooo goood)
• a lot of praying that the hot weather and boiler room area for the delivery didn’t kill everything (poor, poor hydrangeas were hating us)
• a sneak trip into the bridal suite to decorate the bed with a heart shape made of petals… hehe )
• and 1 really, really happy couple!

Now, time for a good 2 month nap.

Here are a few pics during the getting ready and the day of. And for you bees this is the wedding of Mrs. Glitter. Don’t want to give too much away, as she will surely share. Her dress (OMG) was absolutely stunning…wow!!! She looked amazing to no end!
