Joshua & Greg - A Perfect Match

Ceremony: Potowatomi Hotel- Harmony Room
Reception:Potowatomi Hotel- Serenity Room and Patio
Florist: Bank of Flowers
Month: July

Josh stopped in one day, out of the blue, to discuss flowers for his wedding.  He had some great ideas for both the ceremony and reception at the Potowatomi Hotel on the weekend of the 4th of July.  He and his groom Greg wanted a little elegance, a little glitz, and lots of fun. 

This wedding had quite a few firsts for me, my first time at Potowatomi Hotel and my first gay wedding, among them. As with traditional weddings, the grooms had ladies standing up for them, we call them Groomsmaids (name, patent pending ). The Groomsmaids bouquets were a mix of white hydrangea, white mini calla lilies, dusty miller topped with Blue Bom dendrobium orchid blossoms and finished in white ribbon and rhinestone wraps.  The groomsmen all wore orchid blossoms and the grooms wore a single mini calla.

The ceremony was set in the Harmony Room where a center table was accented by tall arrangements matching the reception pieces and two garden urns filled with curly willow branches.  In the Serenity Room at the reception, each table was topped with the same tall vases filled with curly willow and white hydrangea.  Clear hanging vases filled with tealights hung from the branches.  The Groomsmaids' bouquets were used to dress the head table.

We loved working with Josh and Greg, and thank them for giving Bank of Flowers the opportunity to create the wedding they hoped for.  We wish them love and happiness for their wedded life together.

Bridal Fair THIS Weekend!

Planning a wedding but feeling a bit overwhelmed with all of the details you need to decide and phone calls you need to make? Don't you just wish there was a place where you could talk to numerous vendors all in the same day under the same roof?


Don't miss out!  Plan your entire wedding in one day at the 15th Annual Bridal Fair of Washington County, taking place this Sunday, January 25th! The event takes place in the Ziegler Family Expo Center on the Washington County Fair Grounds in West Bend, Wisconsin. There will be over 80 unique vendors in attendance and a full runway fashion show put on by Amelishan Bridal.  All of the bouquets featuring in the show will be from Bank of Memories & Flowers!

Date: Sunday, January 25, 2015
Time: 11am to 3pm
Cost: Only $6.00 and children under 12 free



A few tips to prepare you before the Bridal Show:
  •  After walking away from a vendor, take notes that will help you distinguish him or her (when you get home everything will blend together!)
  • Take photos of booths/items (where allowed) that you like and hold up a business card in the photo so that you can remember where you saw it
  • Bring address labels -- many vendors will have you fill out information about yourself and this will save you lots of time (and writing!)
  • Bring your calendar to book consultations on the spot (they fill up fast!)
  • Make sure to plan enough time -- sitting down halfway through will help you regroup
  • Wear comfortable walking shoes
  • Bring one or two friends or family members (an entourage is just going to slow you down)
Looking forward to seeing you there!
