Rustic Wedding

The Brown Barn, located at the Evergreen Memorial Park, just may be my new favorite wedding venue. Surrounded by mountains and evergreens, the 100 acre park is graced by rolling meadows, rustic cabins and a beautiful, barn overlooking the reservoir and foothills.

The Barn Chapel is an historic collection of five old barns ranging from seventy to one hundred years old. The barn features beautiful antique stained glass windows, large picture windows and warm interior.

Alison and Craig did a fabulous job at creating romance in a lovely rustic style.
I especially liked the "lounge" they created in the upper loft of the barn,
by bringing in comfy couches and chairs for a living room feel.
A twist on the typical photo booth, Alison found Polaroid film on ebay
and provided a camera for the guests to take old fashioned photos.
The film most likely had been around for awhile, as the photos had a great aged feel.
The bride and groom were married in Mexico a month ago, this was the reception.
Just a hairpiece and boutonniere for the couple.  Stems filled the collected bottles and jars
with berries stems, foliages, succulents and even pretty red radishes.

P R O M

My favorite part of prom is when the kids come in to order and pick up.
Some come in solo, some with a parent, 

and some as a couple.

  But, they usually come in and say the same thing.
"I heard this is where you go to get a cool corsage".

Yep. 

Stems is where you come if  you want more than

"Option 4"

 offered from the local grocery store,
and you want a presentation that does not include 

a bar code on top of the box.

 Or, if you want to say,

 "Just do something with this color, cool, funky, 

I trust you."

Below are ideas.
 Let me know your color and we will
custom your corsage.
Basic Wrist corsage: $28.00
Basic Boutonnierre: $13.00

Low Lush Garden Landscape for Centerpiece.

I love to use wooden crates for low, lush garden landscapes. 

Great for centerpieces. 

You can see over the flowers and actually take 

a virtual walk in the design.

So fun to create, just see where the flowers find themselves. 

Landscaping on a miniture level. 

Here is a how to for you to make your own.

Be creative and enjoy!

 

First, line the box with heavy foil, or, if you are lucky enough to find a 

disposabal foil baking pan just the right size, this works best. 

Just trim the edges.  You can hide the foil at the end with sheet moss.

Fill with oasis, cutting spaces which will house the plants.

I am fond of using succulents. 

Keep your flowers all the same height and very low to the box. 

Place in clusters, just how they grow in the gardens.

I like to use lots of textures. Soft and frilly flowers, sharp and edgy. 

Moss, berries, rocks and twigs.

This design has succulents, lavender roses, Freesia, 

Kermit poms, Elephant toes,  seeded Eucalyptus, green roses, 

Hydrangea, Kale & Green Trick, to name a few.
