Fan favorites

Exploding with texture--succulents, orchids, and seasonal dahlias.

Can't forget about the boys--love, love this bouttoniere.

One of my personal favorite color combos--shades of purple with the fuschia accents-hydrangea ,anemone,orchid blooms and yes, purple carnations!

Spring lilac!

The beautiful purple lilac was absolutely gorgeous this past spring--this is one of those varieties that must be utilized as a seasonal flower--the tulips, lilac, roses,stock and anemone completed this monochromatic bouquet.

The bouquets were used as centerpieces during the reception--I am very mixed on this idea. I'll elaborate on this more in a future post.

The flowers completed a very monochromatic look with the dresses-- I will verify this - but I believe this shade of bridesmaid gown is Lapis.

Thanks to Whitney Lee Photography for the images.

Navy Blue on Mothers Day!

A few pro pics from the ubertalented Vanessa --

All white bridal bouquet with just a pops of color in the anemone--if you closely examine the anemone it appears to be a very dark midnight blue--how cute are those ruffled shoes!!

I love all things ruffley at the moment!

A few sweet details--one of my favorites and I must admit originals--The fans not only had a pencil attached but was also a madlib --

I loved madlibs as a kid, living in the country we spent alot of time in the car and madlibs helped pass the time along!!

The Sunset Room--long table, multiple sizes/heights of centerpieces with a anchor of navy blue--

It was a pleasure to work with the girls at BZ Events.

Shades of blue on Mothers Day weekend

I always love the look and feel of a long table, this one dressed in shades of blues and candlelight just made me happy!

Multiple pieces on a table are one of my favorites--the glass keeps it clean and simple.

Delicate spring flowers just seemed to bloom off of the table--anemone,hydrangea,ranunuclas just to get started.

The perimeter tables alternated between low floral centerpieces and the pieces with the candles--shades of blues and whites--clean and crisp!

Chuppah in black and white

 
 
 We designed this wedding in April a few years ago. It is amazing how timeless the color combo of black and white remains. The brides only request was " no roses"- you would be surprised at how many times we hear this.  So yeah for us ,we just used all the other great spring flowers--parrot tulips, anemone, sweet peas, stock and freesia.
 

The bridesmaids were all were stunning in these black  strapless gowns. The bouquets were very simple, hydrangea with white anemone- I will say I have a love/hate relationship with anemone- when they are gorgeous they are great-- when they are not, they are NOT! Honestly, these photographed much better than I thought- they seemed a little fragile.

This is one of the most exquisite cakes- simple and sophisticated. I am always intrigued by the hexagon shape-- seems so unique.  Here the bridesmaids bouquets were put to good use after the ceremony.

A very simple chuppah. This past year we have designed a few varieties of this Jewish wedding canopy.  It seems they are either are very simple or very ornate-- White fabric, white flowers create the setting for this outdoor ceremony at The Austin Country Club.
