The Driskill wedding experience v3

Last few images from The Wedding Experience.... a gorgeous entry to the ballroom.

The elegance of candles, floral garland and soft gold satin linens flanking the entry.

Thanks for visiting with us.

The Driskill wedding experience v2.

Garlands of gypsophilia (aka babies breath) adorned the six chandeliers in the ballroom, with a dozen or so hanging candles. Could possibly be one of my favorite treatments of recent memory.

Hand crafted paper cones with yep, you got it , babies breath. It always gets a bad wrap,but done simply it can add a very pretty simple embellishment.

And don't forget, yards and yards of cream,ivory and soft gold ribbons--on the chandeliers, on the aisle...

The Driskill wedding experience!

A few months ago ( I know, its been a while) we participated in

The Driskill's wedding experience. It was a great afternoon. Along with Barbara from Barbara's brides, we designed all the florals for

The Ballroom. Our other partners in awesomeness included Lauren from The Pink Tulip, Tyler from The Mill Photography Studio, Alexia Gevalia gowns--and I know there were others?

The finished design was absolutely heavenly.

A huge thanks to my design and delivery team for making it look great!

The room featured a beautiful aisle--complete with runner, petals and ribbon draping and finished with these lush floral garlands cascading off the backs of the aisle chairs.

This same garland was repeated on the entry table and the fireplace mantle.

Huge thank you to Tyler--The Mill Photography Studio for the images.

Ribbons.....

This has turned out to be one of my personal favorite weddings of the summer. Growing up in the south, we definitely love our ribbon here! This delicate sweet ribbon treatment was displayed on the three of The Driskill's chandeliers--along with some bling and pomanders.

And of course, the blingy tree made an appearance--girls of the south--a touch of whimsy with elegance.

One of my favorite photos-- thanks to

Barbara of Barbarasbrides.com for connecting us with this bride,

to Tyler Schmitt, The Mill photography studio, for making what we do look its best.

These few images were featured over on Styleunveiled last week--thanks for the shout out!

Valentines Day!

This was the guest book "tree" from a Valentine's Day wedding last year at the Driskill-

so cute, guests wrote thoughtful notes for the bride and groom!

This one absolutely cracked me up--

"Never,never fry bacon in the nude."

Great advice!!

A fun way to incorporate a little touch of Valentine's Day into the celebration!

Purple and the peacock feathers!

This was a cute bridesmaid bouquet- purple orchid blooms nestled in the green hydrangea--

The brides shoes--need I say more?

Details definitely make the difference-- the peacock feathers thoughtfully placed on the napkins, orchids lazily nestled in the river rocks, custom linens, hanging candles just to name a few!
