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~

Dorothy B Oven Park- Emily and Josh's Wedding

This past Saturday Josh and Emily exchanged their wedding vows at Dorothy B. Oven Park in Tallahassee beneath a gazebo decorated in lilies, stock and daisies.

Let me first say that I am glad they were not paying me to be the photographer because after a couple of hours in the heat, the only thing special about these photos are the flowers in them.


Lets start this post off with the main event.

The bride carried a mixture of flowers. Each of her girls carried a smaller version of hers.

The Groom requested that his boutonniere be different from everyone else. This is not an unusual request at all. The rest of the wedding party wore dendrobium orchids for their corsages and boutonnieres.

The reception was held inside and out so we incorporated tall vases of cherry blossoms on the outside and smaller version with other flowers on the inside.

Wedding in Thomasville, GA

This past Saturday I traveled to the Myrtlewood Plantation in Thomasville Ga to design flowers for Rachael and Alan's wedding. I wanted to share a few images from that day that yours truly took, but will wait for the professional ones to give you the grand picture!

The Bride carried a mixture of lilies, roses, and freesia. All of her bridesmaids and junior bridesmaids carried smaller versions of her bouquet.


I had a really hard time getting good lighting for this arrangement so I moved it around the room until I got this shot. Hopefully the professional Photog can provide me an image that displays both of the arrangements in their final resting place with all the yummy food around them.

One of the neat details of this arrangement that is not so easy to see in this picture are the feathers that were incorporated into the design. There were three different types but I have no idea what type they are :) !!

One last detail I want to share with you is the Bride's throw away or "tossing bouquet". While not a huge part of the bride's day, I think this design could easily be used in a larger scale for a Bride or bridesmaid.

Bouquets with Calla Lilies

Calla lilies are one of my favorite flowers and recently I was doing some research on wedding bouquets with callas in them on TheKnot.com and came across some great ideas that I just had to share. While these are not my own creations, I am inspired by these images.

Wedding in Apalachicola Florida- Amanda and Jonathan

This Saturday I traveled to Apalachicola Florida for a wedding located at a cute little Baptist Church just over the bridge. Thank goodness all the rain went away so that the day could not have been more perfect.

I did not get to meet the photographer personally this time, but sure hope to have some professional images to share with you soon.

The colors of this wedding were cornflower blue, antique white and chocolate brown. Amanda carried this blue theme throughout the floral designs.

The brides bouquet consisted of blue and white hydrangeas, varies roses and freesia. The smell was magnificent!

The Groom wanted a little something different so I suggested blue thistle. The results were amazing.

To decorate the front of the church, white urns were filled with hydrangeas, lilies, snapdragons and blue delphinium.
