I had my first experience doing a Tongan Wedding in August. I met with Natalie (Lani's sister) a few weeks before the wedding. I have never done a consultation for a bride without her there so it was interesting to discuss and design flowers for a client that I never met.
Lani's colors where light blue, lavender, white, and gray. I added a little creamy/yellow as well for an accent color. I love this color combination!!! It is so pretty and soft. It was a great combination for her dress and style.
This wedding was one of my largest quantity wise and most inexpensive considering how many arrangements we did. Which goes to show that if you are willing to give your florist a little leeway she can come up with economical designs that give you the most bang for your buck.
Flowers used where: hydrangea, delphinium, roses, lisianthus, stock, orchids, dusty miller, and curly willow.
