Wedding

"Hi Rachael,

Just wanted to say thank you..everything turned out beautiful!!!!"

Pink and Champagne Wedding

This wedding is actually one we did several years ago. I just LOVE these pictures because they still look incredible, trendy, and really pop against the champagne colored dresses.

Thanks to MK Images for sending me these photos after the wedding.

Wax Flowers!

Wax flowers come in many different colors and make a great accent in arrangements. They also are so dainty and fun for a little flower girl to wear in her hair as she tosses them down the aisle instead of the traditional rose petals. Wax flowers do not curl up and turn brown like rose petals do on the ground. They are very "hearty" and hold up for hours even out of water. They also look really cute sprinkled on tabletops or bundled up as a little flower girl bouquet.

So, for a different and fun accent give wax flowers a try.

May Wedding

Here is just a sampling of the wedding party.....bridesmaids white and green bouquets really popped against their hot pink dresses. The lily in their hair really pulled it all together!

This beautiful bride carried a bouquet of callas, freesia, with a simple collar of greens.
The perfect bouquet for timeless elegance.

This arrangement (approximately 24 feet long) doubled as an altar arrangement for the church ceremony and as the head table arrangement for the reception. It created the perfect "wow" factor for this little country church wedding.

A Composite?

A composite flower is very a simply a flower that is taken apart piece by piece and then reassembled.

So, why would we do that?

Simple!

It's art!

It's the ability to take one item and recreate it into something else.

Example: I could take one yellow rose and one orange rose, disassemble them, and put all the petals back together creating one large yellow and orange rose.

Example: I could take several flowers that are all the same, disassemble them, and then assemble one larger version of the original flower. The photo above shows this example.

We took several lilies, all the same, disassembled them, and then reassembled the petals to create one much larger and very stunning flower.

This is a perfect option for a bride who wants to make a simple and yet "wow" statement with her bouquet. She could carry one single flower or add a few composites to her bouquet. It creates the opportunity for each bride to truly have a one-of-a-kind bridal bouquet.
