We're a little biased here because we've been working with Melinda and Bob on their wedding for quite some time, but we love this couple! Melinda was a very laid-back bride who really just wanted someone else to take care of details, like the cake and flowers. So, we agreed and some of our favorite partners stepped up to make sure Melinda got a cake and flowers she'd love. Instead of bridesmaids, there were bridesmen. Melinda's sons stood up with her. When she passed her bouquet to the eldest son, serving as "Man of Honor" he passed the bouquet down the line until the youngest son was stuck holding the flowers. Hilarious and adorable!
Tip
Melinda really wanted peonies but the flowers are out of season and expensive on the Dutch market, so we kept peonies in her bouquet and used open garden roses for her centerpieces. The gorgeous silver plateau for the cake was provided by the florist, Petals in Branson.
