Celebration Florals goes to Maui for Scott and Mariah's sunset wedding!

Who wouldn't love the opportunity to travel to Maui? And better yet, who wouldn't love the opportunity to design the wedding florals for such an event? We were honored to be designing the flowers for Scott and Mariah on the beautiful island of Maui!

Not only was this couple hot, so was some of the entertainment! We'll start with the ending, just for fun!

Mariah's bouquet was all white, with a touch of very dark purple...delicious to view, and the scent was even better!




The maid's carried bouquets of white, green, and we added in the faintest amount of purple in the throats of the green dendrobiums.


Maui weather can be most unpredictable...if you aren't liking it at the moment, just wait...a few seconds after the picture was snapped, the girls got some relief as the sun briefly stepped behind a cloud.


A simple treatment for an already gorgeous setting!




Mariah and her parents begin their walk toward Scott...a special moment for everyone.



An honor to be married in the traditional Hawaiian way. We loved the special touch this added.

A special thanks to Stephanie Sheveland Photography for sharing her talents with us...the great photos are credited to her!


Centerpieces were designed to be crisp, sleek and modern!




Candle Hurricanes with white orchid accents provided light as the sun set.








Does it get any more beautiful?
Congratulations Scott and Mariah! Thank you so much for including us in your beautiful Maui Wedding! We loved being a small part to your very special day!

A final image to leave you with!

Jen and Luke are Married!


A beautiful summer afternoon for a wedding at Yellow Gold Farm. We loved designing Jen and Luke's flowers for this very special wedding. Beautiful day, beautiful bride, beautiful venue, and of course, beautiful flowers! Does it get any better? Why, YES! A huge thank you to Sara Lil Photography for her beautiful photographs. You will be able to tell which ones she took!
Love this of the groom seeing the bride for the first time.




We attached sentimental pieces to the bride's bouquet. A very special tribute.










Congratulations, Jen and Luke and may all your garage sales end so happily!

Candlelight Dreams

For those of you following us, here is a wonderful image sent to us from our bride's friend and family. As we work on our blog in the cold rains of December, candlelight just makes everything better. Picture a warm summer evening along one of the most beautiful rivers in Oregon and the glow of these centerpieces surrounding. Not to mention the friends and family gathered for a beautiful wedding. Yes, warms your heart and makes the rain seem not so bad. Enjoy!

Kaitlin + Ace + Eagle Rock Lodge = Beautiful

Who wouldn't fall in love with Kaitlin and her family? We adored working with Kait and her mother as they planned this wonderful wedding at Eagle Rock Lodge on the beautiful McKenzie River. There were so many personal touches throughout the event, it was obviously a work of love. Kait's bouquet was designed with her request for lots of color, texture, and different elements.

Many of our brides request a family heirloom be incorporated into their bouquet. This hankie was carried by several generations of brides.
First looks are always so wonderful. This one did not disappoint!
LOVED the dress colors for the bridesmaids with the natural beauty of Eagle Rock Lodge on the McKenzie River.


A creative and classy boutonniere!
A fun aisle accent used for this wedding.
Wish we had a picture of these after sunset and the candles were lit.

Fathers of the bride are such good sports!
Happy married adventures, Kait and Ace! We LOVED being a small part of your big day!
Thank you to Sara Lil Photography for sharing these amazing photos with us. Beautiful!
We snuck in a few "non Sara" photos...we know you'll figure out which ones....

Nicole and Bill are married!

We were delighted to be selected to design Nicole and Bill's flowers for their recent wedding. The wedding and reception were held on the family's dairy farm. All of the buildings and grounds were polished to perfection. So many memories with this family! Many thanks to Phillip Wise photography for sharing the following images with us! Nicole's bouquet included all white flowers, with a touch of brown from the fern curls, and a collar of seeded eucalyptus. Beautiful flowers for a beautiful bride!
Nicole's mother was a wonderful friend to both of us. She passed away many years ago, but remains very special to both of us. Nicole chose to have her pin prominent on her bouquet handle. There were a few tears shed completing this bouquet.
To honor her paternal grandmother, Nicole asked us to tuck in one of the many owls collected by her grandmother. This bouquet was so much more than just the flowers!
The maids carried beautiful handtied bouquets featuring dahlias, mokara orchids hypericum, and blupurum to add some movement. All of our bouquets are delivered in personalized vases so that they may be featured after the ceremony. We always have fun finding a way to personalize these!
Who wouldn't love a ride like this? Not sure how they decided who got to drive!
Not to be outdone by her maids, Nicole's father drove her to the ceremony. We LOVE this ride!
We love the pure joy captured in our bride's expression!
The wedding was held on the family's dairy farm. Many beautiful locations for photos.
Now, let the party begin...

There is that car again! We wish you all the best and THANK YOU for choosing Celebration Florals to be a small part in your wonderful day. It meant more to us than you will probably ever know!
