Beautiful, sunny Oranges and Yellows

Alicia and Nick chose bright, cheery oranges and yellows for their wedding. It was so cheery; the perfect complement to the lovely grounds at Carnton Plantation. (June 30, 2012)

It was well over 100 degrees that weekend, too!

Meredith Zeller outdid herself again! The event went smoothly and all the touches were there. She does a great job.

 Over 100, in the sun, and STILL fabulous. Quality flowers make a difference!

 The couple had several dogs and incorporated them into the wedding. The cake topper was so sweet.




 This was the start of the conga line, they knew how to have a good time! And would you look at those flowers! All day out in the heat and still looking good.

I've got a national highlight!

One of the weddings I did flowers for this summer was featured on Style Me Pretty today. So amazing! The other vendors who worked on this wedding are featured: Ulmer Studios Photography and Wedding Planner Meredith Zeller of Bridal Blueprints. Photo below courtesy Ulmer Studios.

White and Lavender, Carnton Plantation

UPDATE: Professional Pictures. They are so much better than mine! The top three pictures are by Matt Andrews Photography. I watermarked them with my info, but it's JUST for the flowers.


Loved this lavender, white and green wedding. The bride carried a hand-tied bouquet of white hydrangea, lavender calla lilies, Polo roses, lavender roses, white lisianthus, green hypericum berries and heather. Stunning if I do say so myself!
The bridesmaids carried a smaller version of the bride's bouquet, less the calla lilies. Those were just for the bride and groom.
The pretty ladies together:
For the corsages I put together a sweet little collection of spray roses, hypericum berries and hydrangea on a pearl bracelet. The tables were outfitted with pillows of hydrangea and lanterns. I can't wait to see the professional pictures from the evening with them all lit up!

Vintage at Carnton

This was a beautiful wedding at Carnton Plantation in June. The colors were white, yellow, navy. The bride went with a really lovely vintage theme for her wedding - pulled off by wedding Planner Meredith Zeller of Bridal Blueprints. There are photos from my camera and from Ulmer Studios. Those from Ulmer Studios are marked.

One of the things I loved about this wedding was the use of heirloom brooches and pins in the bride's bouquet. The flowers for the bride's bouquet were super simple - just white hydrangeas - but the addition of the brooches made it stunning!
LinkThe bridesmaids carried white hydrangea, Queen Anne's lace, craspedia, and cotton witha little curly willow twisted over top. I LOVE the addition of the cotton.
Check out the dresses! Anthropoligie I think? Amazing.
The men's boutonnieres were cotton and craspedia.
The bride also had two memorial arrangements for family memebers that had passed away. They were used both at the ceremony and reception.
The centerpieces were made in containers the bride decoupaged with pictures of her and the groom and newspapers.
I went with hydrangeas, cotton, Queen Anne's Lace, and yellow cremones to keep with the vintage feel. Meredith did a lot of custom work for the reception decor - a lot of mason jars, fabric flowers, etc. She really has an eye for it all. Below is the sweetheart table.
I have to include pictures of the grounds. Here is one of the formal garden. Beautiful!
And the marriage tree as sen from the garden. Every wedding I've ever done (except the one when it rained cats and dogs) has been under the shady branches of this gloriously old tree. It's probably 5 feet across? It is so romantic and sweet.

Eggplant, Grass and ivory at Carnton Plantation

This past weekend I did flowers for an amazing wedding at Carnton Plantation.

The weather didn't cooperate so the couple weren't able to have their nuptials in the garden, but we were able to pull off a beautiful tented ceremony and reception. The photos that follow are from the immensely talented Leslee Mitchell. Check her out on Facebook here.

Congratulations Jessica and Corey!

My flowers are on Southern Weddings!!!

Carnton Plantation Beauty

This past weekend I did a wedding at Carnton Plantation in Franklin. Besides my flowers looking just lovely (as always), the grounds were AMAZING! I have never seen the garden so full, green and in bloom! The weather was just right - 80's, sunny, no humidity, and a cool breeze all afternoon.

The bride carried ivory roses and white hydrangea, the bridesmaids carried yellow roses in really sweet tussy-mussy holders. Each silver holder had a little chain and name plate on them, a keepsake for the bridesmaid. Very thoughtful!
Tin buckets of white hydrangea graced the tables.
The guestbook table had an arrangement of roses, orchids and hydrangea.
I loved these lanterns. They marked the back end of the aisle, and I love cascading flowers out of them. Such a romantic feel.
