October Weddings Are So Popular!

October is such a popular month for weddings.  The cooler weather and beauty of fall inspire us to make gorgeous flower designs!

This past Friday we helped make 5 weddings more beautiful, including our own Tom, one of the brothers who owns Waukesha Floral.

Here are some pictures of the attendants and their bouquets, with colors inspired by the fall shades they wore.  Flame colored mini calla lilies, red spray roses, purple lisianthus, brown shaded orchids and blushing hydrangea picked up colors from each of the girls' shade of dress worn.

 The church was decorated with white flowers and candlelight to set the stage for a beautiful evening wedding ceremony.  The church hall decorations consisted of submerged tropical flowers in fall tones with nests of orange and red rose petals and floating candles.

Fall inspires us, and we hope it inspires you too!  Best wishes to Tom and Dori and all their children (who were the beautiful attendants).

Ladies Night: Howl at the Moon #4

"First Lady of Fashion Jackie Kennedy"

Group Project:  Old Glory!

"First Lady of Fashion Grace Coolidge"

The 4th annual Ladies Night: Howl at the Moon event is now a sweet memory!  Over 170 ladies enjoyed food, fun, flowers and fashions provided by Goodwill Industries volunteers.  "The First Ladies of Fashion" were portrayed with beauty and grace, and embellished with flowers that portrayed the times or came with a specific meaning related to the presidency or the legacy of that first lady.  The election year was celebrated with style!  We thank all of our ladies who contributed a red, white or blue carnation to create the fabulous finale:  a set piece portraying a stylized American flag.

Make sure to put next year's date on your calendar:  Friday, Oct. 4th, 2013, and join us to Howl at the Moon!
