August 28, 2010~ Abby and Darren

On a beautiful late summer afternoon at the Boettcher Mansion, Plum Sage Flowers had the pleasure of joining forces with This Modern Life Photography and Pink Monkey Solutionsto create the elegant yet, rustic wedding for Abby and Darren. Their day was filled with rustic elements; lanterns, branches, birch centerpiece containers and a truck-load of birch “props”, most which Abby’s Dad made by hand and drove out to Colorado from Wisconsin. To help offset some of the rustic décor, soft and modern touches were added, including ivory draping, romantic candlelight and ice vases filled with Phalaenopsis orchids (ice vases/sculptures provided by Michael at Colorado Ice Sculptures).  Abby’s bouquet consisted of phalaenopsis, cymbidium, mokara and dendrobium orchids with garden rose accents and her bridesmaids carried coordinating orchid blooms.  Centerpiece arrangements filled with hydrangea, roses, several different kinds of orchids and curly willow accents added color and a little romance to the already beautiful Boettcher Mansion. With all of the personal touches and attention to detail that went into making Abby and Darren’s wedding so memorable, it is certainly one that will be hard to forget.
