Sunflower Package at Rose Sachs!

June 11, 2009. We loved arranging flowers for the sweetest couple ever.... Mandy Malone and Luka Ohana. They got married at one of our all time favorite spots, Rose Sachs Gardens in Parleys Canyon. If you haven't been there, you're missing one of Utah's hidden wonders. Gorgeous waterfalls cascade down rugged granite cliffs and if you told me I was in Yosemite, I'd believe you! Unfortunately Mother Nature wasn't very cooperative and it rained all week... but the couple worked with their savvy caterers, 'Have Party Will Travel' and arranged a tent. The caterers were able to split the cost of the tent between Mandy and Luka and two other parties they were catering there this weekend and everyone won! We were all so thankful we had the tent because it did rain during the ceremony. The tent was set up right next to the lower waterfall and everyone was snug and dry and still got the amazing waterfall backdrop. Brilliant! As soon as the ceremony was over the sun came out for pictures and for the guests to be able to explore that gorgeous site... walking up the stairs that lead to more amazing waterfalls.

Mandy and Luka were watching expenditures and chose our affordable Sunflower Package Deal. They had a single floating sunflower in a square vase that was lined with brown river rock and vinca vine for their centerpieces and we also used them on the wedding aisle. Simple elegance. The bright yellow really added a lot of sunshine to the grey rainy day. The brown river rocks were congruent with the mountainous setting...

We did a pair of taller arrangements up by the altar that did double duty on the buffets.

Here are the simple bouquets from our affordable Sunflower Package...

And then our adorable little flower girl fairy crowns and a mini sunflower boot for our ring bearer

Mandy and Luka contracted us to move the centerpieces and buffet pieces over to the reception after the ceremony. This labor is optional in our package deals. If you have willing family and friends you can enlist them to do this and save!

And then of course, the package includes cake flowers which we happily arranged for them...
