Peach-Theme Wedding Church Decor

The color theme of the church decor this time is peach, the color of which rather rarely found in the local market. But we're lucky to get gerberas, roses and daisies in  that color. The other material we use are Lilies Asiatic, bi-color anthurium, green amaranthus, snapdragon and gypsophila.

Wedding Church Décor: White Theme

We’re a little bit busy a few days ago and so was Margriet team. Last weekend, there were 4 couples who got wedding ceremony at St. Peter Cathedral Bandung on Saturday and one couple on Sunday.  Since the church is still being repainted and the sacristy room is covered with white cloth, so Margriet had to make 2 big flower arrangements to be placed at the back of the altar so that the background wouldn’t look empty. As usual we made flower arrangements for the altar, the psalmist table, the Mary & Jesus Statue, the 7 candle stand and 14 pieces of chair and pew decoration for Saturday, not to mention 4 bouquets & candle arrangements for the bride and grooms. But this time was more special, because we also prepared 20 pieces standing flower arrangements for the aisle on Sunday. So, you can imagine, how luxurious the church was last week. Though felt very exhausted after all of those activities, Margriet team was happy to have been fulfill the request of the bride & groom. 

No long-winded anymore, please enjoy the pictures below, hopefully they're useful and inspiring those who are going to be married in the near future. This time it's all white theme, only a little bit green here and there.

Overall look of the inside church of St. Peter Cathedral, Bdg (image above), the view from the balcony (middle image) and from the left front side. Look at the row of standing flower arrangements placed at the aisle. Fantastic, right?

 The altar viewed from the left front side (image above) and the up-close look (image below)

The material used were casablanca, snapdragon, roses, gerberas, angel anthurium, spray carnation, chrysant - salju, peacock, baby’s breath and imported lisianthus only for the altar. They are all white, only a little bit of green color such as hydrangea, shamrock and amaranthus, and of course the foliage ie philodendron,  ruscus, green dracaena, green cordyline and leather leaves. The roses we needed were mostly white such as roses of Avalance (pure white) and Ilios (white with a bit of green on the edge of their petals), but we also bought two bunches of Mohana and Voodoo Roses, the previous is yellow and the last one is orange, to make 2 bouquets at the request of two of the bride

Flower Today: Amaranthus

Amaranthus or in Indonesia we call it as 'bunga bayam' is a kind of flower that has uniqueness in appearance. It appears like green tiny bulk fruit. Very cute. We usually use amaranthus to beautify flower arrangements or as finishing touch on table centerpieces or fruit basket. 

Amaranthus in a bulk

Amaranthus can hang onto the bottom naturally and beautifully. So do not hesitate to use amaranthus if you need something similar to that function.

As you can see on the image above, amaranthus made the floral arrangement in front of psalmist become more beautiful with something hanging onto the bottom.

White Theme Imported-Flowers Wedding

Well, back again with wedding flower post, usually we post simple and affordable wedding flower, but today we will take a notch higher a bit.

Taadaa!!! Beautiful huh? Even from a distance you will see that this wedding flower is definitely not the simple affordable one. Lines of roses, tulips, lilies, phalaenopsis covered the entire front of the altar. Not stopping there, the flower lines then come drooping down to the bottom, and ended at horizontal lines. Not just at the right and left sides, the flower lines repeated at front and back to give a full appearance. Lots of white and obviously imported mini tulips occasionally emerged out from the lines to give it a slight 'wild' look. Gorgeous up to the max!!!!

The flowers used are mini tulips, lilies, roses, baby roses, phalaenopsis, snapdragon, hydrangea, baby's breath, amaranthus and the green foliage is bells of Ireland, kristusdoren or sprengeri, reptile split phillo and some small foliage as filler. The imported ones are the roses, tulips, phalaenopsis and baby's breath. Gosh,  they're expensive but breathtakingly beautiful, just looking at the many petals of the roses, no local variety roses are matched.

Before you start drooling, keep in mind that this arrangement comes with a hefty price tag. Why ? First, many types of flowers were used, most of them imported. Second  is the quantity, this draping type of flower   arrangements needs lots of flowers. Just look at the detail above. So, if you want to suggest this kind of wedding flower to your florist, prepare your heart and your wallet :)

Aside from the altar, the decorators not scrimping either with the side flower arrangements at the Mary and Jesus statues. The draping concept here achieved by adding amaranthus and kristusdoren leaves hanging at the bottom.

Front view of the psalmist altar flower arrangements, still the same concept but with tiny tulips emerging on top of it, very cute !!

Flower today: Cabbage Flower

Guess what kind of flower this is?

Yep, it's cabbage flower. It's similar to the cabbage that we usually use to make clear vegetable soup, isn't it? Unless this one is more cute. Actually I first know this kind of flower last year, but I forgot to take the picture, so when last Christmas Mrs. Helena used cabbage flowers to decorate the altar in St. Peter Cathedral I didn't want to waste this opportunity to take some pictures, so here goes the pictures ...
