MY Friends Wedding Pictures!

My friend here in Turkey got married last October. 

 Well, last August she asked me if I would make her a Wedding Bouquet, and I was completely honored. 

I did do the Groom's boutonniere,The Bride's bouquet, The Sister of the bride's corsage, and the brother of the groom's boutonniere.

Recall that I had no resources that we have in the US of A to actually make corsages and boutonnieres, and yet alone the people here in Turkey hardly ever have the Groom even wear them. Actually I have never seen anyone in Turkey wear corsages nor boutonnieres. Flowers are not a big part of the Wedding here like it is in the USA. Here is the blog about the wedding pictures  So, with that said, She and her now husband before getting married went to the studio for their Wedding pictures and took them with the flowers I made. They look just really amazing. Yes, I will do your wedding flowers, too... Just fly me to wherever you are, and give me the supplies, buy your flowers, and I will be more than happy to arrange all the flowers!!! :) No Wedding is complete with out a Bridal Bouquet!

Here are the flowers I did for them. I cropped the photos because I wanted you to just see the flowers. The pictures are not mine.

Flowers: Gerbera Daisies, Star Gazer Lillies, White Roses, Daphne picked from Long Rocks Grandma's Garden, Tea Leaves, Babies Breath and Lisianthus. The net was used because I had to find something to hide all the impurities of what was used because of lack of supplies here in Turkey. But,  it worked out very beautifully and the bride was and is so happy with her bouquet, she had no idea that I struggled with the lack of supplies.

The Groom has a simple white rose, with little wild daisies as an accent.  The brides bouquet has satin ribbon going all the way from the tip of the flower stems and tying just under the flower heads, in a rather big bow but not stiff, there is netting around the edges of the bouquet under the head of the flowers, giving it a flowing look to the bouquet

Because the lack of boutonniere pins here, I told the bride to use the boutonniere like this instead of the traditional way, therefore hiding the normal pins and lack of a nice one.
