Saturday, June 13, we provided flowers for the wedding of Amanda Dennis and James Genessy at the Beautiful Johnson Mill in Midway. www.johnsonmill.com Johnson Mill is like a fairy tale in it's old world beauty! Those two must have very good karma, for it rained cats and dogs all morning long, then an hour before the wedding was scheduled to start, the rain stopped and blue skies appeared. A good omen, for the couple as they had their hearts set on getting married in the willow grove on the property. The grove is a gorgeous setting surrounded by huge grandfather willows, an organic cathedral... off to the side is a rushing waterfall and pond. It is beyond beautiful! They got their wish! Yay!
Amanda chose our Affordable Wildflower Wedding Package (see more on our packages at http://www.basketofgold.com/) and wanted to create a Celtic theme using rich jewel tones of emerald, sapphire and garnet with silvery accents. Her flowers included deep blue bella donna delphinium, bachelor buttons, blue iris, white fragrant freesia and Canadian blue thistle, nestled in rich emerald vinca vine, with silver Dusty Miller and lambs ear and just a touch of red provided by miniature wild roses. Her bouquets had a loosely arranged field gathered look.
Centerpieces were also casually arranged in silver galvanized buckets.
Her beautiful cake was made by Susan Fox of Midway Country Corner and flowers were arranged by Basket of Gold.
Look at this incredible icing! The bride was THRILLED! Susan's company is really growing and gaining recognition... check out her website! She's even being featured by Paula Dean! http://www.midwaycountrycorner.com/
I can tell that this couple is going to have a fun life ahead of them. They have a happy go lucky way of looking at life. They were so calm and lightheated regarding the sketchy weather. They were impressive. Here is James, clowning around with the Flower Girl head wreath...
We certainly wish them all the best!!
All photos (except centerpiece shots) were provided by Margo Moaremoff of http://www.mikesphoto.lifepics.com/ . She was Johnny on the Spot when I asked her to provide photos for our blog this morning, and her demeanor at the wedding was polished and professional... Thanks a bunch Margo! Check her website... I feel she has the same values as our company, in that she really wants to give her customers good value for the cost.
