Personalized Wedding Flower Gifts

One of the lovely centerpieces at the July 23, 2016 wedding of a dear friend's son in Kansas City.

Personalized Wedding Flower Gifts

There is nothing quite like a wedding, bringing two families and their related friends together for a celebration of the joining of two hearts. I am a bit of a romantic at these events, and one of the things I enjoy, besides meeting people, is the flowers.

At this wedding, the flowers were white and pink, the bride's favorite color. Pink tea and floribunda roses and carnations honored the bride's spirit, interspersed with white mums and hydrangeas among a sea of greenery. Reminded me of the green double wedding ring quilt I like to give as a wedding gift.

I had a hard time not leaning over at every reception table to try to catch a whiff of the flower scents.

Other guests also seemed to enjoy the arrangements. Towards the end of the evening, the flower arrangement at my table started to show bald spots.

The centerpiece at my table started to develop bald spots towards the end of the evening.

 I watched as one of the guests left with one of the pink roses tucked in her purse.

Next thing I knew, mother of the groom is asking me to help collect the flowers so she could give them away as thank you gifts. Such a lovely gesture as family and friends left with a lovely floral memento of the beautiful evening.

Tuck in a seating card. I took my table seating card, too to use as a book mark. Such wonderful memories!
