The Bridal Bouquet

Courtney's bouquet matched her groom's boutonniere -- she held a cluster of wheat tied with a chocolate brown ribbon. had to have her favorite blooms -- pink dahlias -- so dozens were flown in from Oregon since the growing season in Maryland had ended. Her maids carried nosegays of dahlias in all shades of pink, each wrapped in brown ribbon and accented with a sterling silver pendant engraved with the maid’s initials.
