I love the venue that Young & Dongjo selected - the Brooklyn Botanic gardens. The ceremony was outside and the reception followed in the Palm House. The flowers were understated - orchids, roses, cala lilies and dahlias in shades of pink and white. Also some pink and white hydrangea with pink hypernicum berries for some of the center pieces.

Jessica & Lance chose brown, green, and white for their intimate backyard wedding. The bride's bouquet is a mixture of green and white cymbidium orchids, star of bethlehem, schwartzwalder calla lilies, mini white calla lilies, berzilia berries, chocolate cosmos and fiddlehead fern heads. The maid of honor utilized the green cymbidiums, chocolate cosmos, green spider mums, berzilia berries and a few mini white calla lilies and star of bethlehem. The centerpieces used the more of the same. The groom’s boutonniere used two mini calla lilies with berzilia berries and a fiddlehead fern head. The best man's boutonniere was just a schwartzwalder calla lily and berzilia berries.

I just got some images from the happy couple of professional shots of their day. You can see better the color of the deep blue delphiniums - and what a beautiful couple!

Unfortunately, no close ups of the alter pieces - they were composed of green vibernum, blue delphinium, peonies and phalenopsis orchids. The flower girl's wreath was white cymbidium orchids.

Color Invasion has been held at the Puck building in years past, but this year found a new home at the Metropolitan Pavilion. This venue has a grander entry space, which allowed for large dramatic arrangements. The theme this year was gold, and the flowers followed suit. The arrangements used forsythia branches, white cymbidium orchids, white spider mums, and yellow kangaroo paw.

The bouquets were textured with very 'architectural' flowers - spider orchids, hawaiian dendrobian orchids, montbreesia, white and burnt orange mini calla lilies, hybrid star of bethlehem, tulips and freesia.
