The fall always brings with it delicious fragrances. It seems to be the time of year where as you shop for the holidays you are greeted by warm and inviting aromas. Most include cinnamon, clove and pumpkins spices. But one of my favorite combinations, year round are mixtures of fresh herbs with vanilla.

When I see red and purple together I can't help but think of a kings thrown room draped with deep red velvet draped and purple robes with gold accents. This brides decor reflected that same sophistication. The arch for her ceremony was covered in white lilies, red roses, dark purple carnations and a variety of greens, creating a lush garland type feel.
Her centerpieces, varying in height were a...

With a timeless soft white, fresh green and champagne color scheme this wedding was truly stunning. The rehearsal dinner was Friday night at the bride's home. We used a cluster of bud vases each filled with either an anthirium, rose, or rannuncula and accents of grass on half the tables and on the head table, while the other tables held a low, full and luscious arrangement with a mix of hydrangea,...
