Welcome to the Occasional Flowers blog. I love arranging flowers, and after doing several weddings for family and friends, I decided to make my hobby a business. If you want flowers for your wedding or large event, just contact me at: occasional-karen@hotmail.com Please take a look at the pages on my blog, and enjoy the flowers I have designed for other couples!

Vintage Wedding


This wedding was really fun because the colors were so stunning!  The bride's main color for the wedding was dark purple, but she added hints of peach, blue, and orange.  Her vibrant bouquet contains garden roses, veronica, stock, hypericum, and spray roses.
The groom wore a light orange boutonniere, accented with lavender and bear grass.

What a beautiful photo! 

In honor of the groom, who is a fireman, the bridal party took photos with this vintage firetruck.
The bride wanted her bridesmaids to carry bouquets with a softer, lighter pallet then hers.  They carried bouquets of roses, garden roses, lisianthus, and silver dollar eucalyptus.




The groomsmen wore lavender rose boutonnieres.
This arrangement was placed at the sign-in table.  It has peach and lavender roses, purple stock, and hypericum berries.

The centerpieces have purple stock, peach roses, veronica, and greens.

The cake was absolutely gorgeous.  It was made by Michele's Confectionary Design.  We topped the cake with lisianthus and peach hypericum berries.

Two of these small arrangements were placed at the foot of the fireplace where the officiant stood.  The floor was also decorated with peach rose petals.
The aisle was decorated with roses, rosemary, larkspur and lavender.

I am always grateful when a photographer lets me use his work on my blog!  These stunning photos were taken by Paul Martin of Ocean Blue Photography and Design.
