November 12th Wedding

Here is the bridal bouquet I made for a lovely bride this weekend. Hopefully, she will send me links to the photographer photos.  The flowers turned out great. Of course we failed to snag pictures of the kissing ball, corsages, other bouquets, etc. We did manage to take this one. 

SEA OF BLUE

This wedding was so stunning with all the bright colors.  I have so much fun designing with different brides and seeing how different the color schemes are.  This bride was married in Wilmington, NC near the cost.  She went with cobalt blue dresses for her bridesmaids with complimentary fun orange accents.   The color scheme turned out great and the flower design around the cobalt dresses turned out to be so fun. Take a peek for yourself....

As shared before, the bride wanted a clean, simple classic bouquet.

Bridesmaid Bouquets had an array of parrot tulips, hypericum berries, alstromeria,and rannunculus.

Instead of a traditional ring bearer pillow, the bride was creative and used a toy truck for her cute little nephew! A blue hydrangea was placed in the back of the truck for him to carry down the aisle.

Dog Wedding Collar

Remember my girlfriend who had the gorgeous Kate Spade inspired colorful wedding?  She had me create her dog, Sophie, a beautiful doggie wedding collar.  We matched up the colors of the collar to match all the other flowers.  Her husband and her got married at a public park in Boston.  Therefore, Sophie sure was the talk of the park that day.

Ever heard of the saying "Mommy Brain"

My girlfriends warned me of "mommy brain".  However, I did not believe them until Madelyn came around.  This "mommy brain" moment takes the cake or should I say "flowers".  I was asked to do some arrangements for a former bride for her parents 35th wedding anniversary.  I thought the date was June 30th and it was actually suppose to be July 30th!  Luckily, it was just her bouquet I made and four buckets to line a aisle going down the beach and not an entire wedding!  I was so bummed as I thought the flowers turned out great and just what I had in mind for a vow renewal on the beach:)  The bride told me to use my judgement on picking the flowers but did tell me that her mom loved yellow roses.   I added a few in to all the arrangements.  Here are some close up shots of the bouquet.  My mother in law had just celebrated her 37th wedding anniversary, so I packed up the flowers for our fourth of July road trip (at least they could still be enjoyed)!!   Forgetful mommy brain was not good!

Ring Bearer Truck

Love the alternative option of using a toy wooden truck for a ring bearer.  It also serves as a keepsake and present as well. We added a hydrangea to tie in with the brides bouquet.

The Kiss of Spade

My coworker recently celebrated her "royal wedding" (same day even as the one going on in London). She had such a delightful spread of wedding design.  Her theme was colorful and full of life.  She had so many lovely details (one even being her dog).  I had the opportunity to make my first take on a "floral doggie collar".  I will share that later along with her awesome shoes and jewelry.  Here are few special touches of her day.  First, let me share her inspiration photo for her reception flowers.

 

 Her florist, Sprout did a great job replicating her inspiration photo. The runner the bride found on etsy and the fabulous bright bud vases are Kate Spade.  Guess who was lucky enough to score one of these after the wedding, me:))  Such a nice thank you from the bride for making her doggie floral collar.  If you hadn't already figured it out her doggie was in on their special day:)  

Spring Wedding Fever

Thought I would share one of my all time favorite bouquets.  I made this bouquet for a very close friends sister.  She wanted a very classic, elegant, white bouquet.  This is what we came up with. I loved how it turned out. Stay tuned for more pictures of this wedding....

Stunning!

I was so excited when I stumbled across these gorgeous cake pedestals.  Check out all of them at this site on etsy here. These would be gorgeous for any party!  How beautiful for a birthday party, shower, wedding, etc.  E. Isabella Designs was also featured in Martha Stewart Weddings.  Here were my fav's.... One of these may just have to come home to my house!

Post Wedding Reception

This was a post wedding reception I designed flowers for. The couple married in Hawaii but had a post wedding reception back here in Raleigh, NC.  We had fun working with the different bright bursts of colors and fruit.

Purple Punch

These gorgeous purple flowers punched a lot of color for this bride on her bridal portrait day.  I had a blast  making this bouquet.

Summer Wedding in Chapel Hill, NC

We enjoyed doing this wedding!  It was a ton of fun since this bride went to UNC with me and had the wedding near campus. The wedding flowers turned out great!
