The photos do not do them justice.
Using Amaryllis was a challenge because of the girth of the stems. They came in about 3' tall & the stems at the widest point were about as big around as a quarter.
When you add to this all of the roses & greenery the entire bottom of the bouquet when finished, was about as big around as a softball. You must be very careful when tying the bouquet together because the stems of the amaryllis are hollow. Too much pressure will mash the stem in half.

I love love love Christmas weddings. They are so fairytale like and whimsy. I picture snow covered grounds and beautiful snow princess dresses with the white furs and diamond crusted tiaras with all the splendor of your beautiful Christmas bouquets.
Okay Okay, So I just ahad a moment of imagination. I can't help myself. LOL LOL
Your creations are beautiul!
Well I can assure you that of all that you mentioned ....the only thing she will have at her wedding today is.....SNOW!! This was a pretty simply wedding. There were many other ideas that would have been a lot of fun...but she had a very clear idea of what she wanted...so our hands were kinda tied.
Thanks Carrie for your kind words though!
Goodness me, I believe if I were to ever to be close to liking roses (to a passion), this my friend would take me there~ how utterly delightful!
I can see now the flowers your were Twittering about(on Twitter)...as you tried to "coax" them open.
What a happy bride she must have been, and how radiant she would have looked all dressed in white ...
Yes I agree with Carrie...a fantasy dreamland of wedding bliss!!!
Love your visions!
Well, Panz that was sweet of you to say...but I fear you would still have had me use sunflowers instead! LOL
And yes those were the stubborn amaryllis I was all a twitter about!
But well worth the wait....they were gorgeous!
These florals are simply gorgeous!! I love DECEMBER weddings, some of the most beautiful ones I ever "did", were in December.
~Blessings,
Jan
