An intimate backyard style wedding with a southern-eclectic touch

 "Flowers for this photo shoot reflected a more casual, Southern backyard sort of elegance, which complimented the salvaged architectural elements, columns and ironworks that the owner of Cafe Da Vinci has collected over the years. Natural unstructured arrangements of bright golden Sunflowers, coral-orange Wild Spirit garden roses, Pink O'Hara garden roses, bright yellow Viking Mums with black centers, White Monte Casino, Orange Marigolds, golden Yarrow and pale pink Hydrangeas are flowers that may be commonly found in vintage Southern gardens-and reflects the rich, charmingly quirky character of the venue. We had a lot of fun putting this shoot together, from selecting mis-matched vintage milk glass vases, old liquor bottles, and medicine bottles that we used as bud vases. In addition to the custom-made wrought iron candelabras, pairing the mis-matched china, gold flatware, crystal wine glasses, and gold mercury glass votive candle holder, which when all juxtaposed together looked very rich- yet effortlessly blended. All together the floral arrangements consisted of Sunflowers, orange Wild Spirit garden roses, yellow Spray roses, golden Yarrow, orange Marigolds, burgundy Kangaroo paws, Viking mums, yellow button Mums, White Monte Casino, and pale pink Hydrangeas."
