Wedding Flowers


Some of you may remember the BIG wedding I had back in January. I posted my photos then, but here are the professional photos, very kindly given to me by Marty Allen Photography, Apex, NC. Above: the women in the wedding.

Below: the four sisters and their mother. This is a wonderful family whom I have come to know over the course of many years, since the older daughter got married. I am most fortunate to have been asked to do all four weddings (as wasMarty), and we are both very proud of that! A sad note: their doting father passed away before his baby got married.


Above: One of the 30 centerpieces at the reception. They were 4 to 4 and 1/2 feet tall.
Below: a closeup of the bridesmaid's bouquets, lined up on the stage in front of the orchestra. They are made of green cymbidium orchids.

I hope that all of you had a good fourth of July celebration and a good weekend too. We had blogger friends here for a swim in the pool, a cookout and all-day conversation - and it can't be beat! I had a bit too much of the spirits (beverages, not ghosties), but no harm was done except a mild hang-over the next morning. I should know better by now, right?

You are very talented. :-)

I have always wished that I were close enough to anyone to have them ask me to be in their wedding. No one has ever asked me to be in a wedding. I have an abundance of unmarried friends....come to think of it. Maybe someday I will be in a wedding party. It's a silly thing to wish for...but it always looks like so much fun to be part of.

We had a great 4tha July Weekend. I couldn't blog about it all. It was full from Thursday till Sunday evening. Thanks for asking.

Yes, I'm going to publish your photo. There is something wrong with that site. It won't publish. My other one does, but... ??? ?Quien sabe?
