Several months ago, my friend Ann, from
Nellie's Barn Sale called to ask me if I'd consider helping her to arrange reception flowers for her friend Heather's wedding. If you have been following this blog for any length of time, you know that Ann and I have been friends since childhood and that I'd do just about anything for her. So, of course, I said Yes. We both made boards on Pinterest. Mine was called
Heather's Wedding and on it was
this pin:
The wedding is shades of purple. Heather loved it, and the decision was made.
Ann purchased the glass at Michaels and I telephoned my dear friend and
florist extraordinaire, Sadie, from
The English Garden flower shop. She's amazing and I don't say that lightly. She ran Martha's Flowers by Mail for
THE
Martha Stewart! Nope, I'm not kidding! Sadie helped me to purchase the flowers and supplies
needed to do this project as well as giving me hints for how to assemble
them.
First, we soaked the oasis foam in water, covered it with moss, and put it into the container. We packed more moss around the base and then assembled the rest of the arrangement inside the container. They went together fairly quickly and I think that they are a pretty close replica of the inspiration photo, don't you?
Congratulations, Heather! Have a wonderful and beautiful wedding day!
