Pinks and Oranges!

Kristen was such a pleasure to work with, and her color palette was right up my alley. Pinks and oranges are my very favorite colors! She and her now husband were high school sweethearts, as is the case with me and my husband, so that made doing her flowers all that more special.

The urn in the garden at Belle Meade Plantation is a behemoth! It take a lot of flowers to balance out the proportions, but this arrangement turned out so great. I love it. 

The garden arrangement was reused for the reception, a great way to get the most out of your budget.

I just love this "first look" picture.

Ah, sisters.

Schermerhorn Preview

I did a beautiful wedding at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center at the end of April. The bride chose a bold palette of reds, purples with accents of orange and pink. I can't wait to see the professional pictures!
The bride carried a bouquet of mostly reds, anchored with red Gerbers. 

iPhone photos aren't always the best, but you can see the bridesmaids' bouquets change in color like watercolors - darker purples, red, hot pinks, pinks, oranges and peach. 

The reception was anchored with several of these large centerpieces (tables weren't fully set by the time I was done delivering and setting up).

I would also like to point out my awesome parallel-parking skills. I got my bubble-mobile into that tiny spot! You can count on me to deliver on time!

Red Done RIGHT!

This bride went with such a fun style - 50's Mad Men. This is red done right! Red is not normally a wedding color that I like as the dominant color, but this theme and floral design really worked for me.

 She loves red Gerbers, and it just made sense for her to carry them down the aisle.

In keeping with the 50's styling, her bridesmaids carried tightly-packed carnations. I just love how wonderfully ruffly these are!

And the little flower girl carried a single red Gerber accented with a red tulle ruffle. 

The ceremony was at Marymont Springs in Murfreesboro. Gorgeous grounds.

I always love pomanders!

The reception was at the Walnut House in Murfreesboro. So beautiful inside. The lighting scheme really set the tone. Here is one of the floral centerpieces. There were also centerpieces of floating candles in cylinder vases and wine glass lamps. Didn't get a picture of those - I hope the professional photographer did!

Beautiful Cascading Bouquet

The bride chose to carry a cascading bouquet for her wedding at the Governor's Club. I don't get a lot of requests for this style of bouquet, so it was a really fun treat for me! The result was a lush design filled with hydrangea, roses and lisianthus.

Julie and Dustin's wedding is also featured in the April 2012 edition of Her Nashville. Congratulations again!

Winter Whites

In February I did a really gorgeous winter wedding in white at Scarritt Bennett and Belle Meade Plantation. The whole event was coordinated wonderfully by Meredith Zeller of Bridal Blueprints. If you need a planner, go with her, she is amazing and her attention to detail really makes for a flawless event.

(And again, I do flowers, not photography. These are just my pictures, taken last-minute; I CAN'T WAIT to see the professional pics!)

The bridesmaid's bouquets. White hydrangea, Polo roses, white anemones with black centers, dendrobium orchids and accented with silvered seeded eucalyptus.

The bride went with four separate centerpieces for the reception.
Here's the floral centerpiece. Similar in composition to the bridesmaid's bouquets.

Super fun ostrich feather centerpiece. The Bride's bouquet was cuffed with ostrich feathers. And I somehow didn't get a picture of her bouquet.

Tall white branches with crystal garland made up another centerpiece, and ties back to the altar display at the ceremony. The height of this was about four - five feet - really good for venues that have tall ceilings, like the Carriage House!

Don't have a picture of this one lit up, but one of the shorter centerpieces was a collection of cylinder vases with floating candles. The tallest cylinder was filled with dendrobium orchids (behind the table number).

Altar display at Scarritt Bennett. Once they turned the lights down, it was SO stunning.
