  • Golf Course Views

     
    There are great advantages with picking a venue with a golfcourse. My favorite is of course the beautiful scenery and picture opportunities. This beautiful bride had a gorgeous bouquet with hydrangea, roses, miniature garden roses and stock.

    Although the summer can be excruciatingly hot it didn't deter this beautiful couple from taking the plunge.

  • Falling in love with Fall

    There is something irresistible about the rich colors of fall. They are fiery and vivid and typically evoke strong passionate emotions that make most of us let out a verbal "ahhhh" when (or more appropriately if) we see the colors of the season change.
    As the summer sun continues to beat down I am reminded as we are beginning to create beautiful fall wedding portrait bouquets that fall is...
  • Textural Interest with Vibrant colors

    Some brides just take your breath away, and this was a weekend full of them. Sam was such a sweet natured and well rounded lady. I loved her vibrant personality which we echoed in her flowers. Funky but natural, textural yet coordinating, rich and vibrant. Sam's bouquet was in a more natural handtied style I call a sprial handtied. It's made in the european fashion where it can literally stand on...

    Talk about beautiful colors. This bride had an absolutely gorgeous wedding. They had a traditional Indian ceremony complete with Saris, Jewels and Henna tatoos. The catch was that as the bridal party were being announced to their guests, you'd think you were at a different wedding! The entire bridal party had completely changed from their Indian Saris to black tuxedos and a-line gowns, including...
  • Not Your Average Boutonniere


    Boutonnieres have come a long way from the traditional white rose, babys breath, and ivy. Now orchids, wire, and interesting blooms are all the craze.

Whether that means incorporating strong lines and interesting filler accents, or using just pods, seeds, and twigs, as long as you love it, that's all that matters!
    Due to their tropical nature,...
