Wedding Decor: The Twins at the Altar

Though we're still in the second week of the Lenten season and there won't be any marriage till the next fortnight, but there's no problem if we post a wedding church decor today, isn't it? We chose this decor since it's rather unique. All the pictures were taken on January 28, 2011.

For today's wedding church decor, instead of the usual long centerpiece in front of the main altar, the centerpiece consists of two flower arrangements put side by side, each arrangement shaped like..uhmm...try to imagine Hercule Poirot's mustache divided into two parts... hahaha.

Close-up details of the flower arrangements in front of the main altar and the psalmist altar. For this wedding church decor we used lilies, anthurium, gerberas, roses, chrysant, baby's breath, a bit of white orchids for wedding chairs, and the foliage is monstera, phylodendron, cordyline, sprengeri and leather leaf.

Inspiring Things: Wedding Car with Teddy (2)

For wedding doll lovers, here comes another inspiration if you want to put doll on your wedding car. The dolls still Teddies, but this one on a SUV instead of a sedan, my only complain is the red ribbon on the door's handle which did not match with ribbons in the front.

Since SUV has smaller front space, the flower base is also small and the oval shape made it look proportional.

On close-up, the teddy bride looks cute enough, but alas the groom needs a smaller tuxedo that fits to his body. This one is much loose where his fingers hiding, haha...

L-Shaped Table Centerpiece

Hmm..  this flower arrangements in red tone is nice,  but you just have to be a bit careful in putting it. The flowers will look best when put near the edge of the table, as you can see. When placed on the edge, the cascading red anthurium and sprengeri leaf will look hanging nicely, which will not happen when you place it at the center of the table.

Flowers used are pink gladiolus, red anthuriums, white daisies and the foliage is sprengeri and Xanadu phillodendron.

Flower Today: Baby's Breath

This small white flowers is known as baby's breath or gypsophila. When blooming it looks extraordinarily beautiful.

Imported baby's breath. 

The imported one has more flowers than the local but more expensive, too. As filler flowers, Baby's breath is commonly added to beautify the flower arrangements, especially for wedding flowers bouquet.

If you want to make a bridal bouquet appears more luxurious, just sprinkle baby's breath here and there. It will sparkle on your bouquet.

Contemporary Red Centerpiece

For flower for home decor this time , we will show you a contemporary version. Unlike simple vases, this flower centerpiece  consists of two flower arrangements placed on base and above that joined together by circles of iron. This is a flower centerpice that designed to attract attention and not to blend in with their surrounding. For maximum effect, this kind of centerpiece is best put on console table with a wall as background, just make sure the wall colour is of more subdued colour than the floral arrangements.

Flowers used are bottle-brush flowers, soka or siantan, cock-comb flowers, bougenville, cigar flowers (a kind of ginger flowers) and white chrysants. Most of them are not fancy flowers and can commonly be found in backyard. This shows that contemporary flower arrangement doesn't have to use rare, expensive flower varieties, just use the local ones or the ones available at the market or even garden flowers grown in the courtyard.

This is the top side of the flower arrangements
