Got to do some great centerpieces and a podium decoration for Cornerstone Financial in February 2014.

Tropical!
This bride went with tropical, fun colors: oranges, blues, purples. Very happy!
The flower girl wore a halo or blue orchids.
A giant arrangement for the garden at Belle Meade Plantation. I LOVE putting these together, even if it is in the scorching heat on a ladder (the urn is about 5 feet tall).
Really pretty pew markers.

Lovely Peonies, Garden Roses and Hydrangea
Blue and Green Rehearsal Dinner
Texan Retirement Party
Ruby was the perfect spot for this party Thursday night, for a Texan who's retiring. They chose a rustic, yet refined Western theme.
The flowers I went with were Cherry Brandy roses (pink AND orange - my favorite), blue thistle for the Western vibe, green ball dianthus, pincushion protea for the cactus element, and yarrow in the large entryway arrangement and billy balls for the table centerpieces.
I loved the table set-up. Farmhouse, exposed wood, burlap runner, fun napkins. And the flowers in the cowboy boots was a special way to tie in the Texas connection.
Peacock Feathers Galore
My dear friend Renee, whom I have known since she was 13, got married last week. It was an honor to be able to do her wedding flowers. Photography by Andrea Watkins Photography.
Renee' chose a really fun color palette inspired by peacock feathers. The yellow Gerbers were added in because they were her maid of honor's favorite flowers. The maid of honor is also one of her sisters, so that inclusion into her wedding flowers was really important to Renee'. The monochromatic bouquets were really fun to dream up and design. And the colors: yellow, green, light blue, dark blue and purple are a really fun twist on traditional jewel tones.
I played with texture and color, while tying it all together with peacock feathers, curly willow and some amazing turquoise silk shantung ribbon. Each bridesmaid carried a different color and the bride's bouquet combined them all to really tie it all together.
The Maid of Honor carried yellow Gerbers.
For the green bouquet we decided to go with Fuji and Kermit mums. 
Blue hydrangea and thistle for the light blue bouquet.
Darker blue hydrangea, delphinium and blue iris with yellow tongues for the dark blue bouquet. The yellow tongues on the irises really tied in well with the Gerbers.
For the purple bouquet I used purple lisianthus and stock.
The bouquets did double-duty and served as the decoration for the head table at the reception.

A Take on a 4th of July Wedding
The bride carried white roses, hydgrangea, cymbidium orchids and bouvardia. So beautiful and classic. A perfect bouquet to walk you down the aisle.
The men wore boutonnieres of blue hydrangea, white spray roses and looped bear grass. A really fun design!

The centerpieces pulled in the fun holiday picks to really play up the 4th of July theme.
The cake. It looked great and smelled even better.

Lovely White, Green, and Cornflower Blue
I love that here in the South there are so many historic places where you can get married. This bride got married at Oakland Mansion in Murfreesboro. The grounds are spectacular, and they have a really nice kitchen and indoor reception area.
The bride carried a lovely hand-tied bouquet of ivory roses, green hydrangea, freesia and waxflower dyed blue. I used to use tweedia, but found that it is really tempermental and the quality varies widely. Bridesmaids carried a simple bouquet of green hydrangea, a really sweet bouquet in my opinion.
The flower girl in this wedding carried a sweet kissing ball of green hydrangea accented with waxflower.
Groom's Boutonniere: green hydrangea with waxflower accent.
Mother's corsage: ivory spray roses, green hydrangea, waxflower and ribbon.
I love floral cake toppers. Too, too sweet!

Loveley Blues and Purples
This past weekend I got a break from traditional fall colors to do some beautiful blue and purple flowers. I have to say, the blue delphinium I got was spectacular! The wedding was at the Cathedral of the Incarnation on West End, and the reception was at Old Natchez Country Club.
The bride carried a bouquet of ivory roses, white freesia with some touches of blue.
The Bridesmaids carried carried bouquets of blue hydrangea, iris, dephinium and anemones. I love how their dresses were a smoky navy blue. 
Altar arrangements for the front of the cathedral. The whole setting was beautiful. 
Arrangement for the entrance of the country club.
The fondant on this cake was incredibly smooth. I didn't get the name of the baker, but if you want fondant, I would recommend them. 
Centerpieces were a simple square glass vase with blue hydrangea and white waxflower, tied off with ribbon.

Lovely Blue Hydrangeas
This bride chose lovely blue hydrangeas, ivory roses, and stephanotis for her bouquet. The bridesmaids carried a smaller version of her bouquet, and their dresses were the most wonderful shade of smoky blue that completely matched the hydrangeas!
The wedding and reception were at her parent's home. I decorated the pillars in the front with big floral swags of roses, delphinium and hydrangea.
These sweet vases of hydrangea and spray roses were on the tables under a tent for the reception.
Mother's Corsage was all stephanotis. It looked and smelled heavenly!
The fathers wore stephanotis as well. I neglected to take a picture of the grooms and groomsmen. The Groom wore an ivory rose with stephanotis, the groomsmen wore an ivory rose with greenery.
