This post is a special request for several of our clients who can't get enough of pink peonies or the stunning Auberge Du Soleil in Rutherford.
In keeping with my promise to show more of this stunning wedding, I give you peonies! The bride could not have picked a more beautiful backdrop for her stunning white canopy with floating white cymbidium orchids.
How to make the orchid garland:
For the pews, I used pre-made oasis forms and cut peonies to about 2.5 inches in length. I attached two to four peonies per pew. I also cut green hanging amaranthus to about 2.5 inches and inserted into the foam. Don't forget to soak the foam thoroughly. I like to soak for about 15 minutes. Using ribbons, I threaded the ribbon to the oasis “cage” foams and double knotted them. It's important when working with satin ribbons to adhere the ribbon securely or they will come undone… that's a no no!

I adore that escort card arrangement. So wild and full! This wedding is the epitome of soft femininity.
This is such a beautiful wedding! Your flowers really seem to be the icing on a beautiful cake.
I love your orchid garlands, but orchids aren’t really in my budget. Can you suggest another flower that would work for these?
Also regarding the orchid garlands. How long can you expect them to last in say, 70 degree weather?
those peonies on the chair are probably the most gorgeous ones I’ve ever seen!! I was so sad I couldn’t have them for my September wedding =T
