I have done a lot of wedding bouquets and every one is special, but when your best friend calls and says she is getting married you just know it is going to be epic.
Then she tells you she is getting married in the desert.
At Lake Havasu Falls, which is an 11-mile hike in.
Avid hikers, Amber and Kyle decided to get married in a private ceremony at Lake Havasu Falls, which is an 11-mile hike through the desert, up and down cliffs in the heat of summer. Ok, weight and durability would be an issue. Amber’s first choice for a wedding bouquet was succulents. There are some pretty realistic one made out of silicon that would work.
Here is the boutonniere I made for Kyle out of the faux succulents.
Amber loved her bouquet.
The problem with succulent wedding bouquets is they weigh a bloody ton!
When you are hiking 11-miles in the desert, every ounce matters. So with weight being an issue, we decided at the last minute to go another direction, silk wildflowers.
Here is her bouquet and gown drying on a rock after the ceremony.
Kyle’s wildflower boutonniere.
The original succulent bouquet found new life as cake decor! That’s fitting.
Every wedding is unique, this one may be a little more than most. As a professional, my role is always to figure out a way to make it work and we did. Thank you, Amber and Kyle, for letting me make your wedding more beautiful, one bloom at a time.
