We loved this wedding because we played with feathers and jewels.  Plus we added these great new table chandeliers to our rental. Did I mention that the reception was at the incredible W Hotel?  The whole event fit the absolute style of the bride, Melissa.  She wanted all white flowers and then added a touch of hot pink throughout for fun and interest.  All of the best to a wonderful couple~Melissa and Frank.

We enjoyed this photographer very much!  She is obviously talented but also fun and super nice.

A donation was given to Heal Africa in honor of their wedding.

Amy and Tim were married in the spring at The St. Paul College Club  in St. Paul, MN.  The arrangements and bouquets were a balance of champagne, soft pink and white.  The cluster of arrangements complemented the character of the St. Paul College Club. We wish all of the best to Amy and Tim!  By the way, how cute is that flower girl?

Thanks to The Imagery for the beautiful photos.  http://theimagery.net/

A donation was given to The Humane Society of Golden Valley in honor of their wedding day!

I was going to blog about this wedding just as I usually do until I received an email from the photgrapher.  She posted all of the pictures on her blog and they are incredible.  Enjoy!  I know we did.

WE ARE IN PRINT and crazy excited!  Minneapolis St. Paul’s Weddings magazine asked us to submit a boutonniere showing the latest trends.  We used safflowers, thistle and a charm.  The charm is a great way of incorporating something meaningful that can be worn on a favorite piece of jewelry or passed on to future loved ones.  We love how it turned out–check it out (bottom, middle–a little hard to see )

A special thanks to Christy Branham for the handcrafted charm.      http://christybranhamjewelry.com/

Julie and Matt were married this spring at Lyndale Park Peace Garden in Minneapolis.  Julie wanted a simple bouquet of tulips.  A bouquet of tulips speaks volumes.  We love how they look, especially when paired with Julie’s beautiful dress!  One fun thing to note when picking tulips for anything–they continue to grow!

“Petalum was great to work with and I couldn’t be happier. They helped me decide what I wanted, stuck to my budget and delivered what they promised on the day of my wedding.” -Julie

Faith’s Lodge is a program that we have become familiar with over the past year.  Manda, one of our newlyweds, introduced us to it.  She asked that the donation from our Petalum Gives Back Program go to Faith’s Lodge in honor of Sophia Lenmark.

In addition, recently we were asked by a family friend to provide flowers for a benefit for Faith’s Lodge. The benefit was given in memory of Grace Fazendin and it was a huge success.  The rain, unfortunately hindered the lawn bowling at Brit’s but didn’t stop their friends and families from coming out and taking shelter within Brit’s for a great night. We were honored to be part of such a wonderful event!

For more information on Faith’s Lodge visit www.faithslodge.org.

We were thrilled when Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine-Weddings expressed interest in our Give Back program.  Dorothy Wickens wrote a great post on Aisle File and even referenced an episode of FRIENDS!!  How can you get better than that?

Since we shared the photos from Elizabeth’s photo shoot, I thought that I should include a few photos from the big launch party. Elizabeth launched 3 products (shea cream, face spray and a serum) called BY ELIZABETH DEHN.  Rebecca and I LOVE all of them.

The hydrangea only accented her simple, clean yet wonderfully feminine logo. Check out the reversible vases that holds them.  They are the newest addition to our rental!

FYI, the face spray is on sale for $20 for a limited time.  http://www.beautybets.com/2011/05/spring-sale-on-face-spray/

OK.  I’ll include the one of me

I was told to pose.  I’m on the right, the one clearly having trouble striking a pose!
