Vintage Blush Tones at the Renaissance Grand

One of our favorite venues is the Renaissance Grand.  We were so happy to work with Heather and Michael on their Renaissance wedding and reception last June.  Enjoy the detailed images of their day courtesy of  L Photographie.

One of our favorite bouquets of last year was this stunner.  It was simple yet so romantic with these antique blush garden roses, white peonies, and silver dusty miller to frame the blooms. 

The bridesmaids carried bouquets of ivory, champagne, and blush that included hydrangea, stock flower, roses, and dusty miller.

Such a sweet groom!  We really love this shot of Micheal and his ranunculus boutonniere.

A perfect match!  Such a lovely couple!

The ceremony was held in the Hawthorne Room at the Renaissance.

Clusters of wedding flowers were tied onto the chairs for the ceremony.

Similar but larger flower clusters were tied onto the front legs of the chuppah and reused on the bar at the reception in one big vase.

 

After the ceremony, guests moved into the Statler Ballroom for the reception.  The tables were decorated with tall and short arrangements of full blush and ivory blooms.

Time to celebrate!

 All our best wishes to you, Heather and Michael!  You two were such fun to work with!  Special thanks to you and your families!

Organic Texture Wedding

Lindsey and Dave were married at Lindsey's family's home on a beautiful day this past September. Lindsey wanted a very natural and organic look to the entire day. Here are some highlights from Stevie Photography.




Lindsey's bridal and bridesmaids' bouquets were very organic. Lindsey carried a very loose cascade bouquet with lots of textural elements including succulents. The girls carried a rounded, more compact version with similar organic touches.
























The ceremony and reception took place in the backyard. A decorated canopy framed the couple. Branches and lots of textural greenery and flowers were used as focal points.







The tented reception featured clusters of organic elements- branches, succulents and florals- on each guest table.


The weather cooperated and made a very memorable day for Lindsey and David. Best wishes to the couple!

Canopy/Chuppah at Graham Chapel

These are some quick photos we took recently of our canopy set up at Graham Chapel. This shows the cedar structure exposed with curly willow branches and flowers on the legs and front top.

The groom's Jewish heritage was honored with the incorporation of a family talis.

New Year's Day Wedding

The first day of this new year, we had the pleasure of helping out Lindsay and Luke for their wedding in Millstadt. Their ceremony and reception were held at their lovely church, Christian Assembly. Here are some snapshots of their winter white wedding.



Lindsay's bouquet was a mix of white and ivory flowers with pine cones added for a small winter accent.

We decorated the sanctuary with our canopy. We used fabric, white birch branches and white flowers to make a beautiful winter focal point around the bride and groom.

The aisle was lined with silver cups of winter white flowers and pine cones.

The sanctuary doors were flanked with two tall, all white arrangements with hanging crystals--a hint of the crystals to come at the reception.

The family tables at the reception had these tall arrangements of white birch and orchids with hanging crystals.

Long guest tables had fresh cedar, pine cones, vases of roses and candles trailing down the middle.

Best wishes to the bride and groom. It was such a treat to work with you and your families!

Wedding at FK Event Space

This new event space down town is a blank slate when it comes to decor. Here is how one of our clients used it for their ceremony this past February.


(Snapshots by Chelsea!)

The ceremony decor included our uncovered canopy and two small tables with our crystal trees to frame the bride and groom.

These pics are of our set-up. We used the event space's freight elevator to transport our materials to the ceremony and reception rooms.

Going up, Chelsea!?!

The flowers were a mix of all reds. Calla lilies, roses, and dahlias were used in the bridal bouquet. The same red color scheme was used in the bridesmaids' bouquets and at the reception.

Best Men and Best Friends

This is a great story about two weddings that Sisters Flowers helped with in 2008.


Max and Adam have been life-long friends. When Rachel and Max were married August 31st at Forest Park Golf Club, it seemed natural that Adam would be Max's best man. Rachel and Max had a bright and sunny wedding day and Sisters was there to do the flowers and decorate our chuppah for the ceremony.

Six short weeks later, Elizabeth and Adam (Max's best man) had their wedding and reception at the St. Charles Convention Center. Of course, Max supported his friend by being Adam's best man. Once again, Sisters Flowers was there to help out with the flowers and chuppah decor.


(Elizabeth and Adam enjoy their wedding day. Best man and former groom, Max, is right of the groom.)

How awesome for two good friends to be a part of each other's special day!

We were delighted to be a part of both weddings and help out two wonderful couples!
