Wedding Professionals Networking Event

 

I was recently asked to provide the florals for the Bloomington Wedding Professionals Networking group.  This is a group of talented and hard- working individuals that provide services for weddings and events in the area. This includes wedding and event planners, banquet hall facilities, photographers, audio visual support, videographers and other florists just to name a few.  It has become a great resource for ideas, knowledge and support.



I was asked by Ashley, an amazing planner with The Bird& The Bee to do center pieces for tables, kind of a mock reception of sorts. They gave me a color scheme and let me run wild with ideas. I used blue mason jars wrapped in burlap to create a more rustic/romantic feel. I used hot pink spray roses for a pop of color and of course, my favorite billy balls to add a dash of yellow. I used curly willow to give the arrangements height without being too bulky. Light yellow dahlia, blue delphinium and dusty miller finished off the look with a touch of Italian ruskus for greenery.

Ashley and her partner Daniela were great to work with. It was such an honor to be asked and I hope we can work together again in the future!

The event was great and I was thrilled with the warm reception I received! I love how the arrangements turned out, perfect for a spring/summer wedding!  So fun and fresh!
