Let’s take a moment to forget about that awful Steelers
loss last week, the rape accusations against Ben Roethlisberger and that
helmetless motorcycle crash to focus on something else – his wedding.
I know. My fellow Pittsburghers are tired of hearing
about this. You would have thought that this was basically the Royal Wedding of
Pittsburgh. But there is one detail of his wedding celebration that I want to
focus on – the rose wall.

Local florist Hepatica designed a wall of roses for the
wedding. You know, kinda like the celebrity red carpet step-and-repeats, but
with ALL FLOWERS. (FYI – step and repeats are what we in the industry call the
plastic backdrops on the red carpet with the event and sponsor logos).
Anyways, back to this flower wall. A reliable blog reader
informed me that the florist placed each and every flower into this wall. Then
it fell over and they did it again. Like seriously. That takes patience and
skills. While I would never want to recreate a flower wall to this scale, I think
it would be cool to add as a backdrop to a candy bar OR using fake flowers at a
shower or event.
Oh and don’t worry – according to Whirl Magazine, the
flowers were donated to the Ronald McDonald House.
Brandi! I actually know the fella from Hepatica who did the flower wall. I work with his niece. I guess he got it all done and tried to stand it up, and the majority fell off... so that flower wall took some serious work! It turned out beautifully though!
