Cont. René van Rems' Wedding Symposium

 The symposium days continued with more bouquets, gowns and education.

Fabulous protea came from Rezendis Brothers and René created an unusual textural  combination of these incredible blooms with creamy cymbidium orchids from Rudvalis Orchids.  http://www.resendizbrothers.com/, http://www.rudvalisorchids.com/
