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.



Wedding at Wakulla Springs Lodge in Wakulla Springs Florida

Wakulla Springs was the setting for the first of many weddings I have coming up for the Spring. I love this location as there are numerous options for where a Bride and Groom can exchange their vows, but the fireplace in the main lobby of the lodge seems to be the most popular. The room that is just off the main lobby sets the stage for a wonderful reception area over looking the spring.

The bride chose various shades of pink for her main color. Here are a few images from that day taken by yours truly. If you want to see the professional ones visit terrismithphotoblog.com and take a peek at that sideshow for Kimberly and Rick. Oh how I can't wait to get my hands on those gems!
The mantle was decorated with carnations, roses and an assortment of flowers and greenery.

Kimberly wanted her flower girl to carry a bouquet identical to hers, yet smaller. They carried a mixture of roses and mini carnations, accented with greenery.

The Matron of Honor carried a mixture of pink roses and greenery as her bouquet.


The tables at the reception were decorated with lovely fishbowl arrangements of carnations, roses and gerberas.


The tossing or throwaway bouquet as it is sometimes referred to was simply a hand tie of gerbera daisies.





Thank you Kimberly and Rick for allowing me to be a part of your special day!
