During the height of the busy wedding season, we often find that there is just not enough time to add to our blog. Looking back on some of the photos we took over the past months, we thought that these flowers were particularly lovely for an October wedding.

The bride's bouquet was an organic gathering of white hydrangea, Amnesia and ivory roses, and dark purple dahlias with a mix of various eucalyptus varieties.

Centerpieces for the reception at Longue Vue Club were in 6" cylinder vases. Flowers used were white hydrangea, Amnesia and ivory roses, dark purple cushion pomps and mixed eucalyptus. Note that by using cushion pomps over the purple dahlias that were in the bride's bouquet, we were able to duplicate the look of the bridal bouquet in the centerpieces, with a significant savings in the final price. This is one example of ideas that we can suggest to keep your wedding flowers within your budget.

Their wedding date is a palindrome (reads the same way backwards and forward!) Parva and Anastasia's wedding at the Hyatt Regency Airport was a vision of purple and lavender. Featured flowers include lavender roses, purple stock, purple hydrangea and misty blue limonium.

Below are two photos from recent wedding receptions. The first reception at the George Washington Hotel in Washington, PA featured tall centerpieces of hydrangea, stargazer lilies, roses and pom pom mums. This sweetheart table features an arrangement of blue hydrangea, yellow roses and white spray roses.  

Dan and Sarah were recently wed in St. Paul's Cathedral and enjoyed a fabulous reception at the Duquesne Club. Of course, if it was a Ludwig wedding, the flowers had to be exquisite!

White flowers adorned the sanctuary of St. Paul's Cathedral, with white hydrangea marking the front pews.

Here's a close up of the flowers carried by the bride. Sarah's bouquet featured White O'hara garden roses, white ranunculus, White Majolica spray roses and silver dollar eucalyptus. The flower stems were wrapped with tulle from Sarah's Mom's wedding veil.

Half of the table centerpieces were tall, and contained white hydrangea, White Chocolate roses, spray roses and silver dollar eucalyptus. Eucalyptus lined the table.

Low table centerpieces were clear glass cylinders filled with white hydrangea, White O'hara garden roses, spray roses and seeded and silver dollar eucalyptus.

Right now in Pennsylvania the peaches are in season. This wedding palette of peach colored blooms is a stunning choice for late July. The bride's hand-tied bouquet included peach Juliet garden roses, peach dahlias, pink carnations, white ranunculus, peach hypericum, pink carnations and silver dollar eucalyptus. The bride wanted to incorporate white anemones into the bouquet, so we used silk flowers for the best show and value.Centerpieces for the reception followed the same color theme with white and light peach hydrangea, peach spray roses, peach hypericum, pink carnations and silver dollar eucalyptus.
