Rain can't stop love!

This past weekend I had the joy of continuing a tradition started by my daughter-in-law, Jenny; getting the bride and her friends together to assemble the bulk of the wedding flowers. As one bride who will remain un-named said, "bring on the slaves".

Having worked with some of the girls before, I knew we had a pretty capable crew. But with rain scheduled to hit on the wedding day, and even possibly prep day, we got started early and scurried around like ants to get things put together before the floods ensued.

Didn't they do a wonderful job!

We used hydrangea, huckleberry greens, queen anne's lace and white freesia, along with white and coral ranunculus for a few smaller arrangements. Everyone did a great job working together after just a smidge of "on the job" training.

Here's one of the two arrangements made by me and my "apprentice".

It turns out hydrangeas love cool, wet weather and they were in full glory for the ceremony and reception, as was the bride and all of her attendants! 

 WHO cares that you couldn't hear the vows for the torrential downpour slamming the porch roof...the wedding went on, and so did the celebrating! 

 

 

 The best thing about a wedding is that happy moment when it all comes together and the bride walks in...the whole place is transformed and a new family begins!

Here comes the Bride!

 Joey and Erin, we wish you many many years of happiness!!
