Bells of Ireland are usually revered for their long curved stalks, but I’m absolutely smitten with their fluffy tips. The green theme is further accentuated by cymbidium orchids. Orange cherry brandy roses play a fabulous counterpart and intensifies the colors. I just swoon at the sight of their ruffled petals! ~ Aileen

I adore that personal touch!  The Bridemaids wore grayish lavender dresses.  The ALL GREEN bouquets were striking against them.  I hand wired green phaleanopsis and cymbidium orchids mixed with viburnum and imported green hydrangeas to create their lush and full bouquets.  Wendy ware designed the monogram initials that was later used throughout their wedding.  We hand painted the monogram onto the canvas runner for the ceremony.  This really enhanced the aisle nicely.   150 stems of white phaleanopis  orchids gracefully framed the start of the aisle and the Altar.  Photo courtesy of Lauren Ong.
