10.12.12 Tom + Debbie

A lovely backyard wedding for family and close friends, Tom and Debbie shared their vows and celebrated with their loved ones on a perfect fall afternoon.  Nestled amid the beautiful gardens, I accented the gazebos with twisting vines, sunflowers. roses, Gerbera daises, and lilies. I also added a vintage chandelier and crystals to bring an extra touch of elegance to the space.

The flowers we chose for Debbie's bouquet were a reflection of her sweet personality and the fall season; sunflowers, blue Scabiosa blooms, Billy Buttons, coxcomb and green Cymbidium orchids were the unique touches the bouquet needed, while the roses and hydrangeas unified the bouquet to the rest of the garden decor.

In addition, the center of the yard featured a beautiful swimming pool, which I chose to highlight with a unique floating arrangement.  (I'll have to admit that the water was a bit too cold for me to climb in and anchor the arrangement so my wonderful husband volunteered to take the dive.)  Cocktail tables set up for guests around the pool area were decorated with Cymbidium orchid arrangements and a few of my birch wrapped votive candles to tie with the garden scenery. With just the right amount of garden magic, this wedding celebration was absolute perfection.

10.6.12 Phillip + Kim

Phillip and Kim were married on a lovely, clear October evening. The bride chose an all white bouquet featuring white hydrangeas complemented by creamy white David Austin Garden Roses, while the bridesmaid bouquets filled with pink and white hydrangeas were a wonderful contrast to their navy blue dresses.  We tied everything together at the reception with pink garden roses and white hydrangeas in a mixture of garden style centerpieces and mason jars with a touch of lace for a little vintage, country elegance.

I had such a wonderful time working with Kim and Philip! Enjoy the photos provided to you by the sweet and talented Jennifer Willard!

6.16.12 Nick + Kelli

Working with fellow Aggie bride, Kelli, this wedding was extra special and fun to plan. I loved her simplistic style and relaxed disposition. For the wedding, we settled on a more rustic country feel while keeping her bridal bouquet traditional and elegant.  The all white bouquet of fragrant David Austin Roses, peonies and hydrangeas was the perfect accent to Kelli's gorgeous dress. In fact, after the wedding, she shared with me that everyone kept asking what wonderful perfume she was wearing...laughing she realized it was her bouquet. Thank you, Nick and Kelli, for allowing me to be apart of your special day!

5.11.12 Max + Maggie

A sophisticated wedding with a dash of Southern charm, Maggie opted to have an elegant ceremony with a more relaxed reception. The combination of phalaenopsis orchids and miniature calla lilies provided a formal aesthetic, while wildflower inspired centerpieces and baby's breath wreaths gave the wedding a timeless appeal. As a tribute to Maggie's Texan roots, we even replicated the look of Texas bluebonnets by arranging several stems of blue larkspur. The presentation turned out flawless.

Congratulations Max and Maggie; I wish you all the best!
