The main colors that I used for my wedding were red and white and poka dots, but I also used ivory and black.

I knew from the start what my flowers were going to be. I have loved Calla Lilies for as long as I can remember. I had seen in a magazine a picture of a bouquet wrapped with big leaves instead of ribbon. I really didn't want the ugly ribbon in my bouquet, so I went with giant calla lillies for me and my bridesmaids, and then a rolled red rose petal, which actually doesn't really look like it sounds, at least not to me anyway.

I thew in one little splash of yellow to honor my mother who was there in spirit. It turned out so great to use that bright red because even though you never know what Utah weather is going to be like in September, the weather was just perfect, everything was still so vibrant and beautiful.
