red roses

Classic, elegant, timeless. And the quintessential floral symbol of love.

The colors for this wedding were primarily cream and black, but we went for a pop of color with the flowers, using all red roses. It kept the very traditional elegant feel, but added a little contrast and interest.

The bride's bouquet - all red roses with a cream ribbon wrap and pearl pins. So classic!

The groom's boutonniere - a red rose with seeded eucalyptus

The toss bouquet - red roses and seeded eucalyptus for a little extra texture

I didn't get a chance to get any pictures of the rest of the wedding party flowers! I was so bummed! But there were many more boutonnieres and corsages of red roses.

It was a lot of fun working on this bridal session. This was a bride who wanted to have fun with her flowers. Her wedding colors were white and turquoise, but she decided her bridal session pictures didn't need to match that, so she went with another color scheme she loved - hot pink!

So we did roses, spray roses, calla lilies, and gerbera daisies all in the brightest shades of pink we could find! It was such a fun pop of color for this winter shoot.

She also wanted a nice big bow and long trailing ribbon, so we used a beautiful sheer sparkly pink ribbon to finish off the bouquet.

The perfect blend of fun and beautiful!

Pictures from her wedding coming soon!

And special thanks to Bladh Photography for the gorgeous pictures!

purple, silver, and white wedding

I'm excited to share this beautiful wedding with you today! The colors were purple, white, and silver.

One of the fun things about this wedding was that instead of bouquets for the bridesmaids, we did wrist corsages with gorgeous dark purple anemones.

I absolutely love anemones! So I was excited to get to use them in this wedding. They are such a statement flower that they worked really well for the bridesmaids' corsages.

The bride's bouquet was a mix of dark purple, lavender, and white flowers, with lots of different shades and textures. And the stems were wrapped in white with a sheer silver overlay to tie in the silver.

Here are all of the wedding party flowers

Purple anemone wrist corsages, white and purple pin-on corsages, white boutonnieres, and a purple boutonniere for the groom. 

White rose and purple freesia corsages for the mothers, with silver ribbon (although it looks a little gold in this picture...)

And finally, the groom's boutonniere: dark purple lisianthus

white flowers and christmas greens

I thought I'd bring in some Christmas spirit by sharing some pictures from this wedding today.

I had the wonderful opportunity to work on this gorgeous wedding this weekend! Often December brides try to shy away from traditional Christmas and wintry looking wedding themes, but this bride embraced it, and I'm so glad! It was such a perfect fit for her lovely vintage ivory dress (it was her grandmother's) and the snow lingering from the last storm.

For the bride's  bouquet we used a mix of "Christmas" greens - mostly pine and cedar, with white roses, baby's breath, wax flower, and pine cones. And of course finished it off with sheer gold ribbon.

The groom's boutonniere was pine and cedar, with mini pine cones, and a touch of baby's breath and wax flower. So perfect for this elegant winter wedding.

Here's a close-up of the bouquet (for some reason the color is a bit off... but hopefully you get the idea! And hopefully I'll get some beautiful pictures from the photographer soon!)

I just love how it looks in the snow! 

Well, I've got a few days off before my post-Christmas weddings. More pictures of all these December weddings coming soon!

Merry Christmas!

white bridal bouquet

December is going to be a busy wedding month for me! And to kick it off (well, a little before December...) I made a bouquet for a bridal portrait session for one of my December weddings.

We did a very classic all white bouquet with roses, lilies, freesia, and baby's breath.

This bride wants a very classic, simple, elegant look for her wedding, so we used lots of roses for her portrait bouquet, and will be using lots of roses (but in red!) for the wedding.

I'm excited to see pictures from the photographer (which will be so much better than mine!) and for the wedding coming up in a few weeks!

lavender roses

Today I had the pleasure of doing my first wedding since having my baby this summer.  It was the perfect wedding to transition back into this again, since the bride only needed one thing: her bouquet.  She was very much a no-nonsense bride, and wanted to keep everything super simple.  No wedding party, no extravagant reception, just the ceremony and dinner with family and friends.

And following her "keep it simple" mantra, her bouquet was simple but beautiful.  It was all lavender roses with a white ribbon wrap and pearls.  Simple, classic, elegant.

I took a quick shot in the flower beds outside the ceremony site waiting to deliver the bouquet.  Especially great since the flowers matched!

And a close up.  I love how intricately detailed roses are.  They have so much texture and depth that even with only roses, this bouquet has so much interest and beauty.

back in the saddle

It's been quite a while since I posted anything!  But I promise I have a good excuse.

This little guy has taken up quite of bit of my time lately!  But I couldn't be happier about that.

Since I had a baby this summer, I took the summer off from doing any weddings.  But I have my first fall wedding this week, and I'm so excited for it!  There will definitely be pictures coming soon.
