HALLOWEEN WEDDING!!!! :) :)  From the moment I met Ann, with her funky colored nails, I knew this was going to be a super fun wedding.  She was laid back from the beginning of our meeting to the day of her wedding.  When her husband decided against using pumpkins as centerpieces, she let me easily talk them back into using them…and I am so glad they did!  I found gorgeous grey-green, white, zitty, and cantaloupe colored pumpkins to design in.  I soon learned the cooler the pumpkin was, the harder it was to cut.  My arms got quite the workout scraping all those gourds! 

My favorite part of the flowers for this wedding were the handle treatments adorned with black feathers and silver accent wire- they felt amazing!

After a formal ceremony everyone dressed up in costume (The groom a vampire and the bride a sexy vampire), they had face painters, a room full of fun things for kids to do, and even bubble blowers! 

 Thanks Ann, for letting me in on the fun!

A review from the bride on Wedding Wire: 

Carra is truly awesome. At our first meeting, she was prepared with pictures for ideas and took down everything I liked and didn’t like. She is extremely talented and definitely knows what she is doing! It has already been a week and a half and my flower center pieces are still looking as beautiful as on the first day! I have friends getting married in the next few years and I’m already telling them to call her!

A bride after my own heart letting me play with Curly Willow, Peacock Feathers, and Orchids like this!

Yes, those ARE glass door knob pulls, plum Lady Slipper Orchids, and beaded Bear Grass… HOT, right?!?

Loverly:

Texture!  I LOVE brides who trust me to do my thing and be creative.  Look at the Pincushion Protea, the Fiddlehead Ferns, The Chicks and Hens, the Craspedia, the Kangaroo Paw, the Callas, the Seeded Eucalyptus, the Flame Callas, the Circus Roses, the Jewel Leucadendron, the Black Roses, AND the perfect leaf wrap for the handle treatment. So many different elements that all work together- LOVE it!!!! 

And look at my cute, little helper bee, Rachel, who perfected the art of leaf wrapping! Yeah!

A review from the bride as posted on Wedding Wire:

Amazing. That pretty much sums it up! I do not know flower names and like visuals to make decisions. Carra emailed examples before and after our meetings to ensure my ideas in my head matched the real thing! Everyone, and I mean everyone, at my wedding commented on the uniqure beauty of the flowers. From planning to delivery, Carra provide a professional and fun experience! I would highly recommend La Petite Fleur for all events, big or small.

Grasses, Wheat, and Pincushion Protea (at Mendakota)- Oh My!

Easiest bride to work with EVER!!! Thank you, Tammi!
