The One With the Cranes - ZuZu's Petals

From the moment I met with Catherine I knew she was going to be fun and different from any other person I had met before! She had ideas that wowed me and drawing and rendering of her vision so I knew I had to nail her vision!

She and Logan booked their wedding at The Vineyard at Florence last fall and we created this beautiful look on this cold and rainy day. The Vineyard at Florence has several locations to host your ceremony and this ceremony site made sure to keep guests nice and cozy!

The bridal bouquet was easily one of my favorite pieces from this wedding. The colors, the shape and the unique orchids that we received made the whole thing come together! The scabiosa mirrored the speckled orchids, the soft and flowy agonis was a great contrast to the bold smokebush and the tulips created a nice soft highlight throughout the bouquet.

Mirroring the bouquet we had the compotes at the beginning of the aisle that were also placed on the tables after the ceremony. This was able to be done because the weather was nice and cool and the blooms were under the pavilion protecting them from the harsh weather outside. This is something we do NOT recommend during the summer as we can not guarantee the conditions of the floral.

The unique and exciting part of this wedding would have to be the installation we did that Catherine worked so hard on. She made hundreds and hundreds of cranes before her wedding and attached them to hoops that we then hung to the rafters. We used a twenty foot ladder to get to the very top and boy were our legs tired!

Another component to this beautiful wedding were the trees that we made. We ordered them months in advance and made sure we practiced and really understood the structure. The trees had hanging orbs with twinkle lights which created such a romantic mood.
