Ashely and Josh Pt. 1

Here are just a few of the amazing details from Josh and Ashly's November 2013 wedding.  Josh and Ashly were married at the historic Kathedral Church in Des Moines, IA.

The Kathedral is currently under renovation and Josh and Ashly felt that it was the perfect setting for their wedding and the start of their new life together. The church had stood the test of time and the currents of change and was still standing strong.  A reflection of Josh and Ashly's desire for their marriage. 

I will be doing another post with more pictures from Josh and Ashly's wedding but for now enjoy these wonderful pictures from Aly Carrol Photography.  











Ashly's beautiful wedding dress.  Cathedral length train and veil.  You will see more of  that in pictures that are coming up.

Ashly's bouquet made with Juliet Garden Roses, Stephanotis, Cream Majolica Roses, Star of Bethlehem and Seeded Eucalyptus.
30 some years ago Ashly's mother and father were married and I did the flowers for their wedding.  When you are able to be a part of family history like this is is an honor.  Ashly's  mother carried a round bouquet that was made of Babies Breath, White Sweetheart Roses and Stephanotis so we took those flowers that her mom carried and added a few to update the look of the bouquet.  Ashly loved her flowers and her bouquet was probably one of my favorites from last year. 


Boutonniere's for the groomsman.  Textural with the Grey Brunia and greens.

The Grooms Boutonniere.  Rustic and textural with the Grey Brunia, Star of Bethlehem and the wonder fern curl fronds. 



Bridesmaids bouquets were round hand tied bouquets with Cream Majolica Spray Roses, and various textural elements.
