Last week Ben and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary in Paris but the whole day we could not help thinking back on what we were doing on our wedding day. It is so hard to believe that it has been two years already and yet, that is has only been two years. I wanted to do a post about our wedding flowers and centerpieces.
I did not want a wedding that screamed fall but that took cues from it. I wanted to go with orange flowers with brown ribbon. I know I could have gone with a much more complex bouquets and flowers but I am all about simplicity.
I wanted a ball of orange roses for my bouquet. It was wrapped with the brown ribbon I mentioned and my mom's rosary from Italy (I will focus more on that in another wedding recap post).

The bridesmaids bouquets were a smaller version of my own except they also had a few orange calla lilies.

I could not find any flower girl baskets I liked so I made my own. Nothing too crazy, I just got some brown fabric and covered a wicker basket. Their flowers were a combination of everything floral we had in the wedding (orange roses, hypericum berries and seeded eucalyptus) except the calla lilies.

The boutonnieres were super simple orange roses with seeded eucalyptus and wrapped in brown ribbon (you have no idea how much ribbon I purchased for this wedding).

These arrangements were on the first few pews in the church and then we reused them on the guest book and cake tables at the reception. You will notice that everything had duel purposes at the wedding and at the reception.

These two topiaries were on the altar at the church and were rushed over to put on the food table.


The other half of the tables had these hurricanes with beads in them.
