Snapdragon Events

Hello and welcome, my name is Sheri Hill Smith and I am a floral designer located in Tallahassee, Florida. I have been designing flowers for over 10 years now and love being a part of a brides big day. My goal is to give the bride the best service possible so that all her floral dreams come true.

This blog will serve as an avenue for me to share all my creative ideas, whether they are my own creations or an idea that I would love to make in the future.

Come back often~

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!

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.
