Flowers for the Bride?

One of many misc. jobs I had before becoming a full time mom,  I arranged flowers for parties and weddings. Evey now and then some family friend is getting married and I offer to do their flowers. It's fun for me to keep my florist fingers nimble and one less wedding detail they have to worry about. My dear friends Sun-ah and Charlie's daughter got married yesterday and they asked me to make the bouquet for their daughter.  Monica is a very independent minded young woman and decided she wanted to wear a traditional Korean wedding dress (as she is half Korean) and to go with it... she chose a rather unconventional type of bouquet!
Actually when she sent me the pictures of her dress and sample bouquets that she liked I kind of "got it" why she chose the succulent bouquet.   It was actually a lot of fun to research and design and I think it complemented her and her dress beautifully.
Of course there was such a crush of people around the new bride I did not get any great full length pix; but even in profile I think you can see how dazzling Monica looked!
It was a beautiful ceremony and the weather was perfect for an out door garden wedding and a good time was had by all!
Cheers, Claire W.
