California Couple: [Long Beach Queen Mary] Ashley & Steve

Have you heard of the Queen Mary in Downtown Long Beach, California? We didn't know what to expect heading out to deliver and set up flowers for our wonderful bride. Boy were we surprised! Queen Mary is a historic landmark in California, a cruise ship restored into a hotel and permanently docked off Long Beach. The history on the Queen Mary is truly remarkable, and is related in time to the Titanic! However, this original cruise ship was used during the war from 1940-1946 and "carried a total of 765,429 military personnel. Sailed a total of 569,429 miles. Carried up to 15,000 troops at one time. Carried wounded returning to the United States. Transported Winston Churchill three times to conferences. Carried 12,886 G.I. brides and children.

The Queen Mary now hosts weddings and events and is used year round as a full service hotel and attraction.What an interesting venue to have a wedding!

This Bride and Groom [Ashley and Steve] were such a wonderful couple to work with and had a beautiful theme to their wedding. With white hydrangeas, calla lilies, and curly willow and a special request for chocolate cosmos, the beautiful background to their ceremony and Veranda Grill for their reception this wedding was a chocolate beach dream! The wedding was absolutely such a pleasure to be apart of and we as a florist could not have asked for a fun and vibrant bridal party!
