Now it’s time for a wedding bouquet and this time it’s a cascade Lily Fuschia Wedding Bouquet.

She also used the middle part of the cordyline to make half circle on the bouquet that gives a different texture to the bouquet. Beautiful.

Pink-Fuschia Theme Wedding Church Décor (2)

Hi guys, here’s another wedding flower décor in Pink-Fushia theme. Some of you might say,’ again?’ and then muttered. Wait ... don't hastily be disappointed, guys, as this time Team Margriet used 3 different colors of lilies namely Sorbonne, Stargazer and Casa Blanca. The color gradation looks nice though not distinctly seen in far distance. However, it looks different than the usual of course and could be your consideration choose the wedding theme. Check it out.

The Rosary & Bible tray and the ring pillow.

By the way, the existence of the two candles on the tray were kinda weird because if it's meant as unity candle, it's supposed consists of one big and two small candles. More over, unity candle is usually lit when the marriage ceremony took place at mid, so it should be carefully prepared and placed separately, far from the objects flammable such as wrapping paper, ribbon etc. Should not use flammable material like wooden or bamboo for the unity candle container unless for decorative necessity only, just like the one above.

Anyway, the design of the ring pillow is cute and romantic, not to mention the doggy on it, really adorable and so are the rosary and the shiny gold-plated letters, the initial name of the bride and groom I guess. Unfortunately, we don't know the designers of those beautiful items.

We usually make the same design for the chair and pew decoration, but not that time. The flower arrangement for the bride chair looked full and luxurious as it needed more roses than for the pew.

Tutorial: How to Make A Standing Flower Arrangement

Wedding Church Decor doesn't look luxurious without row of standing flower arrangement along the aisle, as if they lead the couple headed to the altar. Those flowers also spread fragrant around it. It’s such a nice fragrance that could bring sweet memories of those who are attending of their youth.

The standing flower arrangements were lining along the aisle seen from the balcony. Looks amazing ya!! (image top left) and when taken from the front door (image bottom right)

Wondering how to make a standing flower arrangement like the one above? Actually it’s quite easy but you have to do it neatly and thoroughly. This time we are going to implement the ‘American Style’ by using grouping technique (though not totally) which means that the flowers were placed in group, but not for the foliage. The leaves were still spreading (European characteristic). Since the theme was ‘all white’, only a little bit green then the flowers we chose  were mostly white such as Casablanca, roses of Avalance’, chrysant-salju, shamrock, white spray carnation, white pom-pom or Billy button flower, baby’s breath and the foliage was philodendron (in medium and small size), ruscus and leather leaf. So, wanna try???

This is how to make a standing flower arrangement step by step:

1.                  Prepare the iron flower stand, then put the wet floral foam (cut into half) on it. After that strengthen it by using wire or plastic rope.

2.                  Decide where you’ll put the tulle white ribbon. Use this as the front side of the flower arrangement, where you put the focus of the flower.

3.                  Then ready to arrange the flowers now. First place 3 stems of philodendron (size M) in the form of triangle. Then place the leather leaf between them so that it’ll look circle now. After that take 5 stems of small sized philo leaf then arrange them above around the top.

4.                  Take 9 stems of chrysant – salju, cut into 20 – 25 cm length each. Then place them by using grouping technique in 3 points so as to form a triangle. Each group contains of 3 stems.

Take 12 stems of roses. Do the same steps just like number 4, but put the other 3 stems of roses at the top.

 .

1.                 Up to this stage, this is what it looks from the above. The shape should be round, otherwise there must be wrong with the way you cut. You might not cut the stems in the same length or not place the flower into the same depth.

2.            Then take 9 stems of shamrock, white poms and spray carnation. Set them all to fill the empty spaces so that it looks full and dense. Do this by using grouping technique.

3.            If there is still empty space, fill it with ruscus leaf, cut the leaves a bit shorter than the flowers. Finally place the Casablanca at the front, then spread the baby’s breath around the flower arrangement.

4.                  Finish. This is how it looks when it was put at the aisle.

 Ok guys, have a nice try!!!

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

The Church of St. Peter Cathedral Bandung Is Being Repainted

Since the church of st. Peter Cathedral is still in the state of repainted, so from 17 Sept up to 17 Dec, it was decided not to hold a wedding ceremony on Monday – Thursday. The bride and groom are suggested to choose Fri – Sat – Sun if they’d like their wedding ceremony held inside the church because besides those three days, it will be held in the hall. Not only for the wedding ceremony, but the morning mass at 6 and 7 a.m and the first Friday take place in the hall as well. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The mass on Sat & Sunday just like the usual held inside the church with the same schedule (morning and evening)

This was the ambiance of the Sunday morning mass on Sept 22^nd, 2012 at the Cathedral church. The coordinator of the re-painted church put black cloth along the sacristy as background to cover a row of bamboo attached to the wall behind the altar so that it looks a bit tidy during the mass lasts.

The Bible table actually looks more stand out on black background. The materials used are Lily oriental stargazer, roses of Avalanche, roses of Belavitae, spray white carnation, chrysant Euro, baby’s breath, dracaena and philodendron.

The flower arrangement this time was a bit different. We didn’t use the usual iron flower stand but the wooden containers. Actually they're from packing crates that are not used anymore. They're placed in triple different level.

The materials used for altar were white lilies, casablanca, roses, gerbera, heliconia sp, hydrangea, baby's breath and the foliage was philo, dracaena and leather leaves.

The flower arrangement in front of Jesus statue. For this arrangement the wooden containers used were only 2 (one placed as a base and the other placed above) and so was the flower arrangement in front of Mary statue which was its mirror.

Wedding Church Décor: Colorful Tropical

We haven’t posted wedding church décor for a long time, right? It's because of our busy activities lately, but don't worry we’ll post one in the next few minutes, so keep following us.

Since it’s hot season here, in Indonesia, flowers blooms everywhere and many wedding ceremonies happen this month so Margriet Team's trying to adjust the festive season into colorful design. Look at the wedding church décor in the image above, there were red-yellow-white-green-pink and orange, very colorful.

And the materials used for the altar were anthurium, lilies, roses, gerbera, snapdragon, carnations, baby’s breath and the foliage was florida beauty, philo, ruscus, leather leaf and dracaena. (image below)

White tulle ribbon combined with a pink decorative organza bow on the centre (left image). The chair and pew decoration has simple oval design. The flowers used were only gerbera, daisies, carnation and Kermit (right image).

The offerings design of bride bouquet & groom candlestand to Mary was simple, too.  It’s a kind of roses posy bouquet in 2 color, white and pink. Simple but elegant.

Wedding Church Décor: White-Green Theme

A pure all white wedding is classic for sure, but sometimes it’s just too common. To make it look different, why don't you try to put a little different colour in it, such as green? This main altar centerpiece for instance, from afar the overall theme is simple elegant white, right?

But when you look at a bit closer, the flower arrangement actually consisted of a number of other color such as light pink, light yellow and quite a lot of green so when the guests saw them, the decor would not be just plain white.

These are some of the flowers that we used on this white-green theme wedding décor, such as snapdragon, lilies, roses, anthurium, shamrock, chrysants, baby's breath and spray carnations while the foliage is phylo sellum, dracaena reflexa and cordyline leaf.

First of all sorry for the blurry picture, but you can still see the white lily as the main focus in this flower arrangements in front of the psalmist. However, a little bit of yellow roses here and there actually won’t destroy the theme.

And last, here’s the close up look of the flower arrangements in front of Jesus and Mary statues. In here, the yellow and green colored flowers were put almost at the bottom, while all upper flowers were white. Nice, wasn't it? So even if you want a white theme wedding décor, don’t limit yourself with just white color. a little combination won’t hurt and it actually will make the décor look more alive.

Thanks for reading and see you in another wedding décor post!!!!

Wedding Church Décor: Blue Theme

Blue hydrangea…. hhmmmm…. just love them!! I know they’re common flowers but I still think they’re beautiful. So back to the topic, what do you think about today’s wedding décor theme? You got it!! blue!!! ahahaha…

You see, blue theme is a bit complicated. If used too much (on the flowers) it will feel like dark and  gloomy, a bit exotic but dark and gloomy nonetheless. If you still unclear, just look at my post of Easter Bunny Flower Arrangement, where the decorator was using quite a lot of dark blue colored flowers.

It depends on your taste, but for wedding I personally still prefer the soft blue color and not too much of it. One example can be seen from picture above, the flower arrangement in front of the main altar boast the white and yellow colored roses but at the top, quite a lot of blue hydrangeas were put close together that made them stand out but not overwhelming.

The one in front of the psalmist altar boast a few pink flowers also, while the blue hydrangeas a little bit hidden at the back.

The ones in front of the Jesus and Mary statues

Bi-color white and pink snapdragon, gorgeous!

Wedding Church Décor: A White and Pink Theme

We’re baaack!!! As promised, here’s another wedding flower décor done in white-pink theme. These one's a bit posh and certainly more expensive. You might remember the flower arrangements pictured above from my last post. Yes, this is how their up close look with a white tulle ribbon added underneath. A total of 20 flowers stands were lining on the church aisle that day (11-11-2011). As you can see we used quite a number of flower types such as lily Sorbone, Universe roses, Belavitae roses, Avalance roses, spray carnation, hydrangea, chrysants, local baby's breath, ruscus and ivy.

From the church’s entrance, here are how all the flowers stands look like lining up on the church aisle all the way to the bridal chair (see picture below). Yes, lots of flowers really brighten up the aisle and not to mention exuding lots of sweet scent from the flowers. But don’t forget these flower arrangements cost more than usual, hee..hee..

If you turn around, this is how the row of the flower arrangements look like from the front aisle. And the picture below showed how all of the flower arrangements look from upfront. More than usual, since there were 2 air conditioners put inside the church that day, we made extra two flower arrangements in front of them.

As you can see, here’s a more close up view of the front and side part of the flower arrangements in front of the main altar. Just look at those imported baby's breath hanging down beautifully.

Now the flower arrangement number 2 is the one in front of the Jesus statue, the mirrored version with the one in front of the Mary statue. These cute flower arrangements are in triangle form, with white snapdragon on top and amaranthus hanging underneath.  Look at the pictures below them to see a more close up detail on the flower arrangements and the other one at the seven fingers candelabra.

The flower arrangement number 5, is the one which attached to the wedding chairs also use more various flowers than the usual. It almost looked like a hand bouquet, right? Personally, I really love the colour combination. For this arrangement, we used anthurium, Sorbone lilies, Universe roses, Belavitae roses, Avalance roses, snapdragon, spray carnation, leather leaf, ruscus.

And the pictures below are the detail of the flower arrangements in front of the air conditioners and the psalmist altar… Lovely.

So, what do you think? We really hope this can be another inspiration for you who wants a white and pink theme wedding. For another colour theme, we'll post another time, real soon.
