Loving the outdoors as I do, a photo shoot outside is always my first choice. This was just the case when Alabama Weddings Magazine contacted me about creating a bridesmaid's luncheon for a shoot.

A stately old oak tree provided the perfect framework for us to set our tables and hang the large, ribboned balls of green hydrangea.
Flower balls have been so popular with brides, but most are tight and a bit contemporary looking. My idea was to loosen up the look with luscious antique hydrangeas in varied textures and shades. Even the balls are slightly irregular in size and shape. I love the effect. So soft, these flowers almost beg to be touched!
Our color inspiration for the bride's luncheon was the perfect melon of the osiana rose.
Osiana is a Lillie's favorite because, in addition to her ladylike color, she carries large blossoms of velvety petals that curl back as they open like old-fashioned garden roses.

We were grateful to have great team members on this shoot. Cantaloupe colored linens were provided by BBJ Linen and the delicately wreathed china "Rothschild" was courtesy of Bromberg's. The sweet invitation and calligraphy place cards were designed by the talented Melissa Hill of Weddings Etc. in Homewood, Alabama.
Melissa also shared the little birds nests with us.

The tiny script banner on the moss-filled birds nest at each bridesmaid place setting reads:"Thank-you for being my bridesmaid"

In the South, no bridesmaids luncheon is complete without a beautiful bridesmaid's charm cake. Angel's Cakes designed this one just for this shoot. When I called Janet to ask for the cake, I struggled to find the best name for the color of the shoot. It wasn't pink, it wasn't orange...so, I told her it was the color of cantaloupe.
When Janet arrived with her wonderful creation, she announced, "Here is your canta-loupey colored cake!"
Imagine my excitement when the image of her beautiful cake made the cover of the Fall issue of Alabama Weddings Magazine.

The air was filled with the most delicious scent thanks to our own Alabama-grown Sand Mountain tuberoses.

Perhaps the real magic of the event was Terry Bruno's photography. By looking at these serene and breezy images, you'd never guess the mercury in Saint Clair County hit 100 degrees that afternoon!

This idea of flower balls is fantastic. Going to use it in my sister’s wedding. Will book fresh flowers of different colors from Florist Delivery service as they provide various types of flowers. This will be something new and unique. She will surely like it.
The wedding settings and decorations for guests are looking so elegant. The way these chairs has been decorated with beautiful flowers take my heart. I am just loving the chairs
