Red Roses are a timeless classic that are a wonderful choice when you want a wedding that is * simply elegant * in every sense of the words. My bride, Rana, who is getting married on the Battleship North Carolina in April is doing just that. Her theme is Black, White, and Red. There is some military blue thrown in there, since her Husband-to-be will be wearing his uniform. Rana is using Wendy Wright of
A Beautiful Event to do her ceremony and reception (held at the Hilton). It is up to Wendy and me to transform the dramatic presence of the Battleship deck into the dream ceremony spot for Rana and Carl.
After meeting with Wendy, it was decided upon to have red roses as the predominate flower. For Rana's Bouquet, it will be a very tight ball-like design of charlotte roses, bacari roses, white hydrangeas, and white lilies. Her Bridesmaids, who will be wearing black and white, will hold white hydrangeas and red roses. The arbor will have a cascading spray of red flowers with white accents. The aisle way will have four row markers of red roses with greenery and red bows down the remaining aisle. I can't wait!
