With Spring weddings now behind me and summer weddings to come, it is the perfect time to reflect on all the wonderful weddings that I was blessed to be a part of this Spring. Every year I look forward to the gorgeous Spring blooms because it means that wedding season has begun. The bountiful ranunculas, peonies and tulips remind me how lucky I am to have a job that I am passionate about. Thank you to all of the brides that made this Spring fabulous! Below is a slide show, showcasing some of these remarkable weddings and all of the Spring time blooms that brought the big day to life.

“Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with you to make your winter wedding beautiful. I loved the chance to capture the essence of the holiday season in your decor. Your bouquets of holiday red blooms accented with evergreen were the perfect touch. The Christmas inspired centerpieces of red roses, tulips and berries mixed with winter white hydrangeas and silver dusty miller made the reception hall glamorous and festive. Congratulations to you both! To view more of this winter affair, view the slide show below.

Fall elegance at it’s best! It was such a joy to be a part of your wedding day. Your vision was stunning and all of the details of the day came together perfectly on a gorgeous Autumn day. The rustic colors of copper, champagne and brown were beautifully accented by the ivory garden roses and antique hydrangeas in your arrangements. Berghold’s old world charm and antique wood pieces were the perfect compliment to your theme. I wish the two of you a lifetime of love and joy. It was a pleasure to work with such a lovely couple.

I just love when the season changes. Summer pinks turn to Autumn reds, oranges and yellows. Texture becomes a key element of design. Fall branches and leaves turn ordinary arrangements into seasonal expressions. Dahlias and hydrangeas become a bride’s favorite flowers. The slide show below captures a few of the many Fall weddings that I have had the pleasure of working on this season. Enjoy the vibrant colors of Fall!

Modern, elegent and glamourous are the words that come to mind when I reflect on your wedding day. You were simply stunning in your beaded lace gown carrying your contrasting deep burgundy bouquet of roses, dahlias and orchids. The reception was beautiful…the candlelight, velvety rose petals, champagne linens, floating orchids and contemporary arrangements all created a wonderful ambiance. Thank you so much for the opportunity to be a part of your special day.

Your Breakfast at Tiffany’s themed wedding was executed flawlessly. I was so glad to be a part of it. Every last detail was meticulously planned and implemented…everything from the Tiffany blue wedding cake to the classsic silver accents made for a magical evening. The ruffly white hydrangeas, adorable pomanders, pearl draped centerpieces and glowing candles brought it all together beautifully. Your attention to detail was well worth it! Thank you for the opportunity to share in such a special evening.

The ideal winery wedding all came together on a beautiful summer night. Every perfectly planned detail from your winery themed invitations to the adorable wine stopper favors made for a very special evening. And the flowers completed the whole look just beautifully! Your oh-so-pale lavender linens were the perfect backdrop for the lush purple blooms in your centerpieces. Your bouquet of ruffly, white peonies mixed with lavender roses, lisianthus and tulips created such a romantic addition to the vineyard backdrop. I hope that it was a night you will never forget!

Some of the most popular wedding flowers make their debut every Spring…everything from romantic peonies and ranunculas to classic calla lilies and tulips. As the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers.” This year my calendar was booked full of unique and inspiring Springtime weddings at several gorgeous venues.
