People from a world without flowers must think we would be mad with joy all the time to have such things around us....

The Croatian Cultural Center

     Just when I think I've been in every wedding venue between Seattle and the Canadian border, a bride surprises me with something new.
Last Saturday I was pleased to be delivering the flowers for her reception to the Croation cultural Center in Anacortes.  A completely charming older building in the heart of old town. 
     The lady in charge introduced herself as "the head witch"  and the younger woman assisting her was pleased to call herself  the "witch in training".  They were extremely helpful to me with unloading the floral bouquets and getting everything set up. The "Head Witch"  gave me the history of the building, (the first church built in Anacortes amongst other things) while we were working, and details about the restoration that is still in progress.  If you ever have a chance to stop by there while sightseeing in Anacortes, it is worth the stop.  It is only one block west of the the Saturday Farmers Market,  and although we didn't have time to stop there, it looked like a very busy and fruitful market day.

Prior to delivery, the centerpieces get a last minute touch up.  The taller piece, above was designed for the cake table but ended up being displayed on a large pedestal behind the head table.

The centerpeice bouquets were a pretty garden mix of lilies, agapanthus, delphinium, alstromeria, and queen annes's lace.

The outdoor bouquets were slightly smaller and featured hydrangeas.
