Ready! Set! Arrange!!!

We are preparing for a beautiful beach wedding this weekend. The couple, Adam and Mel, are our neighbors and we couldn't be happier to partake in their celebration. The wedding is taking place at Virginia Beach, VA - directly on the beach! How awesome is that? The colors are white and blue and the bride asked for simple elegance (our fave!)

It's extremely hectic here as we are doing the bridal bouquets, wedding party flowers (bouts, bouquets), bouts for dads, corsages for gmas, and flowers for the hair for the moms. The nerves are kicking in a bit as this horrible heatwave can't seem to disappear and we're scared of wilted flowers! Currently the room temperature in the studio is "fur coat acceptable" as we must keep the flowers complete cool before the big day!

Flowers will consist of white lilies, white alstroemerias, and stephanotis. Simple, elegant, and totally beach appropriate. And to add to the beach theme and keep the groomsmen's boutonnieres from staining their shirts we made these cute little seashell backings that will create a layer of protection between the white stephanotis and the linen shirts. (and of course a signature Designs by iBi fuscia heart on the back for long and lasting love). Can't wait to post wedding photos of this awesome couple, their friends, and our work!!!
