Nicky B married her sweet [and dashingly handsome] sweetie, Bryan, a few weeks ago on the beach of Tybee Island. You can tell that Nicky loves her fella not only by the way she looks at him, but also by her planning of a beach wedding in August….at 10:30 in the am….long before the summer sun heats up the day. I’d be willing to bet the ceremony time was set just so that her groom would be comfortable in his dress blues before it got too hot. That’s love.
Speaking of Love. I LOVE the bouquets that Nicky chose for a summer beach wedding. They’re not literal, in-your-face beach theamed. She captured the subtilties of what makes a well designed event. The vibrant color orange says summer and says island wedding. Notice Nicky’s bouquet is made of a mix of all orange blooms including cymbidium orchids, while her bridesmaids carried ‘supporting’ bouquets of just orange cymbidiums – a pefectly cohesive pair. What a great combination!
From a florist standpoint, the orchid is a bloom that lets us sleep at night when doing outdoor summer weddings. They are exceptionally heat and drought tolerant and will withstand the elements beautifully.
Cymbidium orchids make a great hair bloom too – they’re hearty, they lay fairly flat and can hold up to lots of hugging and tugging and moving around. Thank you to Spa Bleu for the stylish placement.
