4.28.12 Blake + Morgan

There's something beautiful and unique about sunflowers. Growing a single golden bloom atop an unbranched stem, they are splendid, yet at the same time, natural and simple. For this reason, Morgan was the perfect bride for a sunflower wedding. Blake and Morgan wanted a natural, rustic feel to their wedding so we incorporated mason jars, burlap, and lace with the sunflower centerpieces. Amidst the gorgeous flowers and the bride and groom's joyful smiles, the wedding turned out beautifully.

3.19.12 Orchids in Bloom: Styled Shoot

March is the month when all the orchids in my dad's greenhouse are in full bloom, so what better time for an editorial styled photoshoot! For our model, I designed an orchid hair piece and bouquet that had a lush, organic feel to it. Styling something a little more unique than the traditional wedding bouquet, I love working with orchids because they bring an element of elegance and exquisite detail to my designs. Enjoy the following photos courtesy of Gema Blanton, who did a beautiful job working with the tricky greenhouse lighting and captured some stunning shots.

Our photoshoot was featured on the Glamour & Grace blog. How exciting, check it out!

3.3.12 Daniel + Kameron

Coral & white, what a stunning color combination for this lovely March wedding couple. Daniel and Kameron are a truly perfect match and their wedding was an equally beautiful blend of both elegance and fun. Inspired by a local winery Kiepersol Estates, whose labels bear the newlyweds' initials, we designed the reception centerpieces to incorporate the glass bottles, while keeping the flowers light and simple. Kameron's bouquet was filled with gorgeous white ranunculus, peonies, and mini calla lilies, coral roses, and hypericum berries. I love the single snapshot of her with the bouquet; her smile is absolutely infectious. In the end, the wedding party certainly enjoyed themselves as they danced well off into the night (comfortably in their coral Toms and white sneakers).

6.18.11 Scotty + Bernadette

From the lush Hawaiian Islands to the East Texas pines, this wedding was a beautiful combination of rustic and tropical flare. Bride and groom, Bernadette and Scotty, were a joy to work with and since she was still living in Hawaii, we met and did all the planning over the phone. Bernadette loves to surf and we wanted to incorporate her personality in as many elements as possible. We had a variety of exotic orchids flown in from Hawaii, "message in a bottle" table centerpieces, and I borrowed a friend's surfboard for a few portraits. Who knew cowboy boots and Hawaiian leis went together so well?.. More importantly though, Bernadette became a dear friend of mine and now even assists me in some of my weddings! What a wonderful, sweet bride and friend.
