Thank you all for identifying the Amaranthis. This is a close up of all the flowers.
The second one is my Dads boat my husband restructured for the liquid refresments. I spent 3 days making the flowers from her b-maids dress and fixing the silk flowers to chicken wire. It was so much fun.
My hubby fell out of the boat 4 days before the wedding and got hurt so we never did get lights on it for the evening but it was nice anyway. We had torches around and candles in the tables.
