Dendrobium Chuppa
Dendrobium orchids are the current Featured Flower for Florist Blogs.

Behind the ceremony site, we installed a hand-painted backdrop of clouds against a blue sky. You can see that the sky color is actually pretty close to the color of the real Colorado sky just above it.

Centerpieces interpreted the Colorado sandstone plateau of Four Corners National Monument near Mesa Verde National Park:
There's our sandstone AND our blue skies with clouds
The bride's bouquet played with the same Indian wildflower theme:
