We just finished up flowers for a fun and lovely couple who got married at the Charles Hotel this past weekend. The couple wanted a blending of traditional Chinese elements and modern design. Our color palette was red (a traditional color of Chinese weddings), magenta, teal, and chartreuse.
Bridal Bouquet by Petalena with Phalenopsis Orchids & Peonies
We’re using peonies as much as we can right now while the season lasts through the beginning of July. They are simply delectable, edible (I wish, but I don’t think they would taste very good!). Along with two varieties of phalenopsis orchids – one large, one small a little bit of green hydrangea and loops of bear grass.
Bridesmaid Bouquet by Petalena
Our bridesmaid bouquet had some of the most fragrant and luscious garden roses – Yves Piaget.

And now, onto the ceremony arrangements – we had so much fun creating these red carnation pomanders – aren’t they the coolest?:

And for the reception at the Regatta Bar:
Bride & Groom's Sweetheart Table
The color palette was essentially identical to the bouquet – with deep reds, magentas, and chartreuse green. We used more of the deep red peonies, magenta peonies, Yves Piaget garden roses, green hydrangea, and bear grass loops for a modern touch. Some table were more magenta, others more red.
