TIM + MICHELLE

Michelle's colors were cobalt blue, black, silver, and hints of purple. She didn't want a round bouquet, and she wanted lots of textures and dressy stems with a little glam. I used blue delphinium, blue veronica, cornflowers, purple stock, purple monkshood, black/blue viburnum berries, black scabiosa, silver leucadendron cones, silver dusty miller, beautiful amnesia roses, and calla lilies in the bride's bouquet. Everything turned out gorgeous. Thanks again, Michelle and family. It was a pleasure working with you. Congratulations and Best Wishes!

CHARLES + MEGAN

Charles and Megan are such a beautiful couple! They got married at the English Inn in Eaton Rapids this past weekend. The setting was beautiful, and we ended up having the perfect weather!

Megan really allowed me to design the flowers for her, which I really appreciated. She wanted a modern twist with an elegant garden feel to match the setting. I absolutely loved how everything turned out! Megan's dress was simple and very elegant. It swooped to one side with three layers of ruffles, which inspired the three layers of dendrobium lei in her bouquet. We also used a variety of colors and textures through mokara orchids, roses, cockscomb, knotted zebra lily grass, succulents, hanging amaranthus, scabiosa, calla lilies, lambs ear leaves, and other greens.

The girls wore a beautiful medium color coral. The bouquets were a mixture of plums, lavenders, coral, orange, and reds, which really gave a bright fall feel. The flowers included dendrobium orchids, succulents, roses, cockscomb, hanging amaranthus, scabiosa, artichoke, stock, dahlias, lisiathus, calla lilies, sedum, and lambs ear leaves.

Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day, Megan and Charles. Congratulations!

CHARLES + MEGAN: REHEARSAL DINNER

Charles' parents also hired me to do the flowers for the rehearsal dinner. Jane's colors were green and apricot, and she wanted something with an exotic feel, inspired by Charles and Megan's upcoming honeymoon in Aruba. The tables were 25 feet long, and the rooms were kind of small. So, I created sections of garland with a variety of greens and orchids using varigated ginger leaves, pittsporum, camelia foliage, nagi, hydrangea, mokara orchids, cybidium orchids, and fuji mums. They turned out beautiful!

Thanks for letting me work with you, Jane. You have a very nice family!

Garden Bouquet

These are a few pictures of a bouquet I made a couple of weeks ago of flowers just from my mom's garden. I absolutely love the colors and all of the texture in this bouquet! Hydrangea, Yarrow, Daisy Mums, Hypericum, Garden Rose, Queen Anne's Lace, Lilies, Purple Butterfly Bush, and Purple Geraniums

SETH + RACHEL

I had a great time creating Rachel and Seth's flowers this past weekend. The bridesmaids wore chocolate brown dresses, but Rachel wanted the flowers to coordinate and give a summery bright look. She loves orchids and spider mums, so we used a combination of spider mums, gorgeous Esperance pink roses, alstromeria, dendrobium orchids and some phalaenopsis orchids in her bouquet.

Thanks again and Congratulations, Rachel and Seth!

CARLOS+LAUREN

I really enjoyed working with Lauren and her mom, Denise, this past week. The week before the wedding is always stressful; however, they had a lot more than usual with Carlos getting in a car accident that easily could have been fatal less than one week before the wedding. While stopped on in the median of the highway to help an accident, another car hit them and pushed a car into Carlos' leg causing him to have to get surgery and be in the hospital most of the week. I'm just so thankful he was ok and they could still keep all their wedding plans (as much as possible)!

For the flowers, we used Cymbidum and Dendrobium Orchids, Hot Pink Roses, Nerines, Alstro, and a few different elements to create a beautiful texture to the bouquets. I absolutely loved how everything turned out. Congratulations Lauren and Carlos, and I pray for a quick recovery for you, Carlos!
