Wedding Wednesday

Designer Raf Simons had two very important shows this year: His final collection for Jil Sander and his first collection for the house of Dior {couture no less}. While these were landmark collections for Raf and moving shows for the fashion world, what made them unforgettable for me were the flowers! Raf called upon friend and florist, Mark Calle to help create floral arrangements and if I had millions of dollars and a time machine, I would have called upon him for my wedding!! 

Insane right!??!

Fun Facts:

• Florist Mark Colle has been a florist since the age of 15 and owns a shop in Antwerp called Baltimore
• Mark worked alone on the "flower cases" for the Jil Sander show
• Music from Mazzy Star, Smashing Pumpkins & Sonic Youth were played during Raf's final show for Jil Sander...so moody!

• Over one million flowers were used for Raf's debut Dior Couture show
• Five rooms were covered from floor to ceiling with flowers inside a Parisian mansion
• The blooms were meant to pay homage to Dior who was passionate about flowers
• Watch the construction of the flower walls here
