A Bridal Shower- May 18th 2014

At the end of April, my wonderful friends from Great Expectations event planning called to see if I could squeeze in a bridal shower for one of their June brides. This turned out to be a great event! We did lilac, lavender, creams, greens and a touch of light blue on top of a white table cloth with apple green overlay! It was a beautiful shower!


 We did two small arrangements for the entrance tables at the Signature Club



The centerpieces were gorgeous; full of texture, but still very soft. Garden roses, peonies, roses, stock, scabiosa, lisianthus, hydrangeas, delphinium, dusty miller and a touch of greenery. 


For the buffet table we made a large arrangement of delphinium, bells of ireland, roses and hydrangeas.

A Family Affair! Kim and Peanut's Wedding- May 3, 2014

Our first May wedding this year was such a special event! My sister Kim, married Peanut (Jerry) on a beautiful Saturday morning at a hidden gem in West Ky. By hidden, I mean literally- did not know such a place existed in the boonies of Mayfield, KY. The Lodge at Emerald Waters was a beautiful place for a wedding; the ceremony was located on the deck under a pergola overlooking a beautiful lake.


The bride's bouquet was so beautiful! White hydrangeas and stock with orange/pink snapdragons, berries and billy balls.


I just love craspedia (also known as billy balls) and I loved getting to use them as boutonnieres.


This gorgeous buffet arrangement featured orange/pink snapdragons, curly willow and greenery.

The reception space.



Mason jar centerpieces of hydrangea, stock, craspedia, mums, and alstromeria. 


These ceremony arrangements were absolutely amazing! White hydrangeas, mums and stock with pops of orange/pink snapdragons. The arrangements combined with the draping really added to the pergola.

April 26th- A great start to wedding season

Leann's wedding has to go down as one of my favorites to date. Leann and her mom were so great to work with throughout the entire planning stages and when her wedding day finally arrived it turned out to be one of the most laid back days. The other vendors were so amazing to work with and the staff at Equestrian Woods was, as always, friendly and helpful.

There is something so beautiful about doing a color scheme of white and green. It feels so clean and sets the mood of simple elegance- a timeless color palette. Take a look at some of the arrangements and see what you think!

The different boutonnieres of roses and button mums.


 Leann's beautiful bouquet of hydrangea, roses and cymbidium orchids. It was wrapped in lace and we added a charm of the bride's to give it a personal touch.


 The bridesmaids wore navy dresses and carried all green bouquets of hydrangeas, spider mums and button mums.


 Such a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding. The ceremony seemed to blend in with the natural beauty of the venue.


 Mason jars of green and white hydrangeas, roses, and spider mums hung from shepherd hooks.


Take a look at the gorgeous ceremony arrangements! Green and white hydrangeas, roses, lilies, bells of ireland, gladiolus and spider mums were used to make these beauties!



 The cocktail arrangements for green button mums were simple and adorable.


The centerpieces were a mix of green and white hydrangeas, lilies, roses, and spider mums.


The cake looked absolutely delicious and they hydrangeas gave it the extra detail it needed.

A colorful wedding at a charming country church.

In April we did the personal flowers for a small, morning wedding at a country church out in Winchester, KY. It was such a pretty little place I had to take a picture, but it just doesn't seem to do it justice.

When I asked the bride what she wanted she said she loved all flowers and wanted something colorful!

How cute is this little white church?
