One of us tied the knot!

In June, one of our designers said "I do!" Michelle and her husband decided on an intimate ceremony in the national seashore of northern California. Even a private elopement isn't complete without flowers!

In the quiet town north of San Francisco where they chose to wed, Michelle found flowers that local farmers sell at the feed barn in town. She also clipped some blooms from the garden of the house they rented (with the owner's approval, of course!). She designed her bouquet and floral crown with butterfly bush, poppy pods, calla lilies, snap dragons, scabiosa, and seeded eucalyptus.

They said their vows under the weeping willow in the backyard and then set off to take pictures. They wandered down to the opening of the bay, adventured into a trail head, and met sunset at an abandoned boat.

 (The husband and wife photography duo of Helena and Laurent Photographer captured the day and were also the witnesses to their nuptials!)

We wish Michelle and her husband lots of love, happiness, and magical moments in their life together!

Botanical Garden Wedding - Nikki and Frank

This super fun couple chose the Botanical Gardens at Roger Williams Park in RI for their weddings celebration. The crisp white with chartreuse and pops of fuchsia, combined with a gentle touch of feather, made this unique event incredibly memorable. (The fab photos are courtesy of Gabrielle Marks Photography.)

The wedding party donned a textured floral look that included green hydrangea, green spider mums, cymbidium orchids, and ranunculous. The contrast with the metallic sheen of the slate dresses looked so vibrant!

Nikki's bouquet was the perfect mix of softness (thank you hydrangea, celosia, viburnum, and white feathers!) and texture (oh how we love cymbidium orchids, star of Bethlehem, and hypericum berries!).. creating a round bouquet with some pizzazz. :)

I just have to point out how absolutely gorgeous those fuchsia ranunculous are in the attendants' bouquets!!

Take note that even the gents got a little feather-glam added to their boutonnieres.

The ceremony included one of my favorite aisle accessories -- pomanders! They were a mix of hot pink carnation and chartreuse spider mum pomanders. Nikki showed us a new trick by taking these fun flower accents and bringing them into the reception in a VERY funky way. (see below)

The ceremony pomanders were brought into the reception and hung from..... wait for it... banana stands! These were placed on the cocktail tables, and we loved this idea! (Thanks Nikki!)

The reception was held in a ultra-crisp-white tent, with birdcages hung up high and sporting candlelight, tall funky arrangements on clear trumpet vases, and a very chic lounge area. Two fab editions to the high arrangements were curly willow and bamboo stalks. Add in some uplighting, metallic-slate table linens, chartreuse/fuchsia pops of color, and this was one classy evening!
