Lovely

I always think it's cute when the groom comes to the wedding flower meeting.

Leslie and Stephen were so fun to meet and talk to about their upcoming wedding.
They are a beautiful, young, classy, confident couple and they couldn't wait for the big day.

I loved the ideas Leslie sent me for her flowers...a little bit of a wild flower look, a tiny bit rustic, but simple and elegant at the same time. Our meeting took all of 20 minutes to confirm we were on the same page. I loved how they turned out and I think Leslie did too.

Congratulations Stephen and Leslie!

I hope your life together is as beautiful as you are.

For Leslie's bouquet I used white roses, seeded and naked eucalyptus, dusty miller, and lisianthus.

The bridesmaids had smaller versions of the bride's.

I wrapped the stems with some wired burlap for a touch of romantic charm.

.winter elegance.

David and Melinda were married in December.
I loved working with Melinda. David was a surprise in her life and she hadn't
anticipated planning a wedding any time soon.
She was peaceful and calm all the while radiating a quiet joy.
She wanted flowers that were muted and elegant and we agreed it would be fun
to include succulents since David is from Texas.
I loved the geometrical element they added to her bouquet
as well as the silver accent they provided against the creams and soft pinks.

Melinda looked absolutely beautiful!

I used cream hydrangea, lisianthus, pale pink roses, pale peach roses, silver brunia
berries, dusty miller and eucalyptus.

Work that camera, girl!

David looked quite dapper himself.
I used white lisianthus, brunia berries and dusty miller for the boutonnieres.

The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of Melinda's flowers.

David and Melinda, I am so happy that love found the two of you!
I wish you all the best and thank you for allowing me to be part of your day.

Chet and Devon got married at the beautiful Sunset Hills Vineyard in Virginia.

Devon wanted something that was elegant but organic - not

stuffy or formal but consistent with the gorgeous natural surroundings.

For Devon's bouquet I used blue and green hydrangea, white lisianthus,

delphinium, dusty miller, wax flowers, salal leaves and a few willow branches.

She loved her flowers and I loved how they turned out too.

The five adorable flowers girls each had a wreath of lisianthus and wax flowers.

The bridesmaids carried white and green hydrangea, lisianthus, salal, dusty miller and willow tips.

They looked so beautiful against their teal J. Crew dresses.

For the ceremony, there were arrangments in mason jars with white hydrangea, white snapdragons,

queen anne's lace, delphinium, wax flowers and willow tips.

The ceremony arrangements were moved inside for the reception.

It was a gorgeous wedding and I was honored to be a part of it.

Chet and Devon, I wish you all the happiness in the world!

Henry and Isabelle got married a couple weeks ago.

Isabelle requested flowers that looked as if they might have been recently picked from a field. In other words, not too formal.

I used white roses, stock, sage leaves, lisianthus and wax flowers for the bride's bouquet. The bridesmaid and mothers held smaller versions of the bride's and the flower girl an even smaller version.

Isabelle was so happy with the results - and wasn't she a gorgeous bride?
