Natalie Walther and John Tarpoff Wedding

December 3rd is finally here!!!  Congratulations to Natalie Walther and John Alexander Tarpoff, II... it's their wedding day!!!  Natalie and her mother, Nina Walther, came in to visit a few months ago about their floral needs.  I've known Nina for several years and she and her sisters are a hoot!!  Nina is a DIY extraordinnare and does a beautiful job party planning and decorating.  I was quite thrilled that she came to me for Natalie's bridal bouquet.  Natalie and I talked about various styles of bridal bouquets.  We looked at some pictures.....

Natalie knew immediately what she wanted....  a rustic, flowing, cascade bouquet that reflects her love of the outdoors.  This is what I created....  a flowing cascade of butterfly vine (mascagnia macroptera), magnolia foliage, seeded eucalyptus, genestra and white oriental lilies....   I love the curling and twisting of the butterfly vine.   Butterfly vine's botanical name is Mascagnia Macroptera.  The Butterfly vine gets its name from the seed pods which resemble a butterfly.  If you look closely, you can see the lime green clusters.  The dark brown of the magnolia foliage compliments the woodsy elements of the bouquet which balance it perfectly. 


Natalie and John's ceremony and reception location is Texas Olde Towne in Kyle.  Following the festivities.. they are off to Hawaii for their Honeymoon!!!  Even though I didn't have a major role in Natalie and John's wedding, my heart and soul went into the creation of her very special bouquet.  To read more about Natalie and John...  visit their website at http://waltherandtarpoff.ourwedding.com/view/7944682199406985/22397626
