Wedding- lakeside in Tallahassee

Jessica and Charlie said their vows lake side surrounded by family and friends. The theme of the wedding had a natural rustic feel. The bride carried an hand tie of white peonies that were wrapped with a embroidered scarf and ornament hand made by the bride.

The girls carried a bouquet like nothing I have ever done before. One of the items included in their bouquet was a plant called "chicks and biddies"that we got from Native Nurseries. This neat plant made for a very unique and beautiful bouquet.

The guys boutonnieres were made out of "chicks" as well.

The ceremony was held lake side on a dock. The aisles were lined with hooks of mason jars and hydrangeas. The dock was decorated with a mixture of greens, along with sprays of orchids and a few hydrangeas.

The reception continued the flower theme throughout the wedding.

The wind at the lake that day was super strong which leads me to this next picture. It comes with a special note- I did not entirely create this on my own. The story goes that I created a large arrangement in a tall fluted vase for this table that day only to be told that it had blown over and shattered. Not to worry, I grabbed another vase, added some pebbles to weigh it down and designed another gorgeous arrangement. I was then approached a short time later and informed that this time it had not broke, but the vase was now on its side. The caterers were loving this I am sure. So with the wind being against me that day, and not wanting to leave the buffet table bare- I used this container with some of the flowers that were still good from the rehearsal dinner and added a Snapdragon touch to it. So thank you goes out to the person who created part of this arrangement in a container heavy enough for the wind not to blow it away. Unfortunately I also did not get pictures of the other two arrangements that I made that day!

Snapdragon Events is in print once again

Recently I was contacted by Palm Beach Illustrated about submitting some images of my work for their upcoming Bridal Issue.

I was happy to see that they chose one of my designs for the issue. There are some amazing designs in this book and I feel honored to be included. Click the link below to get to the online magazine- I am on page 18.

My newest adventure

My newest adventure recently has been becoming a mom this past December. Here is a glimpse of my "Kami"-










Although I absolutely love spending time with this munchkin, I am also looking forward to designing again. March is going to be a busy start to another successful year.

Wedding Flowers on the beach at St George Island- Meghan and Gary

September at the beach could not be better for a wedding. I recently spent the weekend in St George Island, FL for a very special wedding- my little sisters. There is just something about spending time with loved ones and creating flowers for their special day.


The ceremony was set in the sand in the The Sunset Beach Community.

Meghan and Gary exchanged their vows under a bamboo arch of lilies, roses and hydrangeas and orchids.

The bride carried a mixture of white roses with a signature "C" satin ribbon and a family bible attached.
The bridesmaids carried varying sizes and shades of yellow roses.

The reception was held pool side and was decorated with flowers, shells and candles.

So I am sure that it has been noticed that my blog has been pretty quiet lately. Well life does that sometimes. My husband and I are expecting our first child together this December. Not knowing what to expect, as this is my first pregnancy, life has forced me stop designing for the fall. I will be back to blogging weddings actively in March, so until then I will just have to share the latest in baby pictures with you.

Thanks to Terri Smith for the images. An outstanding job as always! Check her blog for more images from that day.

June Wedding in Tallahassee FL

This June was a very popular month for Bride's and needing wedding flowers. Some of my Bride's chose indoor locations while some chose to brave the heat of Tallahassee with outdoor ceremonies.

One of the other popular things this season is the use of hydrangeas in bouquets and centerpieces. Here are a few of the images I took that day. Looking forward to the professional images from Steve Corbett as no matter what I do I just can not always execute a great quality shot.

The Bride carried a mixture of hydrangeas, gerberas and lilies-

The Bridesmaids carried a smaller version of the Bride's bouquet-

The Bride's Mother carried a Tussie Mussie of lilies, wax flower and roses-

The boutonniere's were also made up of alstromeria lilies-

The ceremony arrangement consisted of a wide assortment of flowers to include lilies, callas and mixed greens-

Callas and Purple Roses

One of my recent brides wanted callas and purples roses as her theme of her wedding.

The result was some amazing color! Only trouble I had was find a place to take pictures of these creations.

Here are a few of my non-professional shots of the brides bouquet:

The girls carried a handtie of large white callas:

Wedding with a summer twist

I have been neglecting my blog in a bad way but only due the my busy wedding schedule. Over the next week I will show you what I have been up to in the last month.

I only have two images to show you in the first blog, mainly because this wedding was so early and did not have my shooting eyes on quite by the time I delivered the flowers.

In all seriousness, I hope to have more to show you very soon from the professional photog, but here are a few that I snapped of the buffet table arrangements.

Love, Love, Love this lemon and lime theme~
