MaddFlowers: St. Andrew's Celebration of Spring Centerpieces at World's Fair Pavilion

The Event: St. Andrew's Celebration of Spring

The Date: 5/15/2016

The Location: Forest Park's World's Fair Pavilion St. Louis, MO

The Flowers: Medium Blue Stock, Yellow Spray Roses, Succulents (Echeveria), greenery, 

Donating back to a cause, we made the centerpieces for this fundraiser event. Knowing that everyone ages but not all can afford the care they need, this is an overlooked cause. St. Andrew's Resources for Seniors hosted this event at the World's Fair Pavilion to raise money for low income seniors in the St. Louis area. Many restaurants and chef's came out with the best dishes for a delicious taste off and a wonderful, warm spring day!

The Event: St. Andrew's Derby Brunch

The Date: 5/3/15

The Location: The World's Fair Pavilion

The Flowers: The committee for the Derby Brunch came up with the concepts for the centerpieces inspired bby the Race for the Roses. Red roses for the Kentucky Derby- a garland for the ice sculpture horse, purple stock, red spray roses and berries designed in mason jars. We used large, glass mason jars instead of the traditional mint julep cups because the wind is strong at this event site. 

MaddFlowers: Bright Spring Wedding Flowers at Lemp Mansion

The Couple: Chelsea and Josh

The Date: 4/18/15

The Location: Lemp Mansion's Gazebo, St. Louis, MO 

The Flowers: I created the flowers for my own wedding! I planned on bright colored spring flowers with navy linens. The color theme was sunset- so the tulips, ranunculus, and accents were peaches, oranges, yellows, and pinks. Just one month before the wedding I saw this blog post by New Creations Flower Company and fell in love with clematis and switched the look a little to include this.

Wedding Watercolors

I decided to make my own watercolor wedding invites. I hadn't been watercoloring long so it was fun to do. The theme wedding colors are sunset.
