A True Blue Wedding Ceremony
Staying faithful: a wedding cross draped in Dusty Blue & Navy
We have to commend Tyler and Alessandra on incorporating their unique love into every aspect of their wedding theme. Dedicated to their mutual faith, the couple went with a cross instead of the more traditional arch, along with our Wedding Arch Drapes in Blue & Navy.
Made of high-quality wrinkle-free material that isn't completely opaque, these drapes are heavier-weight fabric, much more flowing, and graceful than tulle, nylon, or other commonly used wedding arch fabrics.

“Together is our favorite place to be,” reads the sign sitting lovingly next to a cross with Joshua 24:15. It proudly states, “As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord.”
For such devoted partners who bring their faith into everything they do, we can't think of a better way to greet wedding guests.

Center stage: a Dusty Blue Head Table
At any wedding reception, the head table is where the newlyweds sit, usually front and center for all the guests to see.
Luxurious and dappled in blues, Tyler and Alessandra's Dusty Blue flower garland captured everyone's eyes. Handmade with love, about 20 silk and foam flowers and a few silk leaf garlands comprised the arrangement, a floral piece the happy couple will have for the rest of their lives.
The flowers can be repurposed as a centerpiece for anniversary celebrations, wreathes, or anything else that requires a touch of floral romance for years to come. Faux flowers are also completely pet-safe, essential for dog lovers like Tyler and Alessandra!
Primary flowers in the Dusty Blue & Navy Centerpiece include peony and semi-cactus dahlia. Rose, avalanche rose, Vendela rose, poppy, gardenia, Desmanthus, air plant, and wisteria. They all blend seamlessly with the eucalyptus to create this romantic wedding element.

Silk Rose Petals in Dusty Blue & Navy
Is there a more fitting wedding flower than the rose? We think not.
Roses have historically been used to symbolize romantic love, marriage, affection, and passion almost everywhere in the world. Tyler and Alessandra used our handmade silk Rose Petals in Dusty Blue & Navy, a nod to both their love and their wedding colors. The petal's satin/organza fabric carries a light floral scent for added atmosphere. Since they will never wilt and are reusable for anniversaries and other special events, the silk flowers will last forever, just like the happy couple's love.
