Purple, Red and Yellow oh my...

Last March I met with a bride that was planning an October wedding in Tallahassee. I was so excited the day of our consultation when I realized Belinda had no intention of using pastels but more rich colors for her wedding bouquets and arrangements like purple, red and yellow (oh my)!

We all know that I have never professed to be a photographer, so I send many thanks out to Lewis Johnson with Lewis Johnson Photography for providing the images below.

One of my favorites places... Miss Mandy's

As a designer, I found myself looking for new and interesting things to use for my floral creations. A couple years ago I found a place that fits my need for different things, without having to comb the world over to find them.

Miss Mandy's is a local store that I use frequently for my wedding designs. They have a wide variety of things to rent or/buy and can help find that unique thing you are looking for if they don't already have it!

When you have a moment, stop in and check out this neat little shop. The store is located in the same shopping center as Blue Abaco and Osaka.

Here are a few of my creations with the assistance of a container from Miss Mandy's-

Kris & Eric

Have you ever come across something that you knew that you wanted to do know matter what?

Well that happened with me when I met Kris. Her style was unique and different from anything that I had done. The results were beautiful and I am eager to share some of the pictures by Terri Smith.

One of the things that I created that was a first for me was this bracelet corsage.

Isn't this a romantic shot

Wishing Tree

Have you ever heard of a wishing tree? Me either, until a recent consultation with a bride. When I got back from my appointment, I did a little research. It turns out that a wishing tree is a new twist on a guest book for a wedding reception. Herecomestheguide.com displayed the following images with regard to this neat idea:


I am looking forward to creating this for one of my upcoming weddings.

One last bouquet to tempt you

I have another recent favorite that I would like to share. These images are taken by yours truly so please understand that I am a designer, not a photographer.

Latest Bouquet fun

In the last couple of weeks I have been a busy lady with weddings and have had the honor of creating some fun and different bouquets. Here are a few to tempt you with until I put up all of the new images on my website. Thank you to Kylene with foreverbykylene.com and Terri with Terrismithphoto.com for the great images!

And on the first day.....

I welcome you and want to share an idea. I am in the middle of helping a dear friend and my sister plan their weddings for next year. This prompted me to log on to theknot.com. I use this site from time to time to get inspired.

Today while on the site I had a thought- I have designed all these great weddings and would love the opportunity to share my ideas with others like myself, searching for inspiration. So I started searching the site to find out just how. It did not take me very long to find the details on how to submit pictures to them and that I really needed to be the bride to do so.

So I started to email a photographer friend of mine to get her to blog about it and then I stopped... another thought

Why not finish my blog I keep talking about and write about it myself. Funny how things happen.

So here's to my first blog post and a link to a neat idea that pushed me to finish my blog~
