Sharon and Jerry


  Sharon and Jerry married at the beautiful and picturesque Trout Brook Vineyard. It's hard to believe this wedding didn't take place in Napa Valley! Stargazer lilies held special significance to Sharon, so we implimented them in nearly every piece for her wedding day. Together with the gorgeous bicolor coral and orange roses it created a colorful yet easy and natural look. I'm so happy for the bride and groom! It was a beautiful day.

All photos were taken by the groom's daughter, Jill Hotujec with Jill Hotujec Photography www.jillhotujecphotography.com. The lighting in her photos are stunning!

Jess and Bruce



 Words cannot say how much I enjoyed working with the bride, Jess on her Alice in Wonderland themed wedding. Jess brought me a large number of inspiration photos for the bouquets, in each picture was a little detail that had caught her eye. We fused all of those little details together to create a truly unique and custom wedding bouquets! The entire event was stunning, the ceremony location at the beautiful "fairy tale" gardens at Trellis Wedding and Events and the reception location at the architecturally stunning 413 on Wacouta. I'm going to miss going over details with Jess! I'm so excited for Jess and Bruce (and their loveable rottweiler, Monroe) as they start the next chapter in their lives!

The bride's very customized bouquet consisted of white roses, white spray roses and a large silk focal flower with pearl and filigree. The lace flower was created using a piece of Jess's dress leftover from alterations and filigree and pearl accents. Loops of white double satin ribbon framed the bouquet with long ribbon tails cascading down. The ends of the stems were adorned with pearls to match the accents of pearls throughout the bouquet. The final touch was winding a swallow necklace around the handle, in memory of a beloved best friend of the bride.

The bridesmaids each carried a brightly colored bouquet of orange gerbera daisies, hot pink rose sprays, hot pink "beauty" asters, deep purple miniature carnations, blue mountain thistle and green hypericum berries with a unique mix of foliage and black and white striped bows. The bouquets were wrapped with black and white striped ribbon and pearl pins held everything in place.
