Jolie made all of the beautiful invites, escort cards and menus.

I made the bridesmaids stem wraps and the silk votive wraps coordinate with the stationary by adding black lace trim.

The next few photos are from the “Aftershots” session, taken the day after the wedding.

These photos are just incredible! A special thanks to Mattson Pictures for the images, and a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Jolie and Chris on their beautiful daughter, little Aubri Grace!

I’ve been looking forward to Erin and Ryan’s wedding ever since I met Erin at the Palace Bridal Show in January 2009. The floral palette of soft blues, yellows and greens was inspired by one of the vignettes I had created for the show. Erin’s bouquet contained tweedia, pale blue hydrangea, Cream Prophyta roses, green mini cymbidiums, bupleurum and variegated lily grass.

The bridesmaids’ bouquets were a smaller version of the bridal bouquet.

I managed to snap a few photos of centerpieces at my studio before loading up and a few more images onsite. We used three different centerpieces to add interest to the tables.

The wedding and reception were both held at the Inn at St. John’s in Plymouth, Michigan. The linens were provided by Lorrie at Special Occasions.

Congratulations Erin and Ryan!

Ah, sarracenia trumpets – weird and wonderful.

This bouquet was full of ruffles – Hearts roses, Rubicon spray roses, glorisa lilies, nerine lilies and grape sweet peas.

Sarah and Chris were married on June 12th. It was a hot, but beautiful day for a wedding. The colors for the ceremony were ivory, green and espresso. The bridal bouquet contained white sweet peas, Patience garden roses, fern curls, curly willow, pieris buds, green hydrangea, green mini cymbidiums, scented geranium, seeded eucalyptus, Super Green roses, and green minou spray roses. Swarovski crystal accents completed the bouquet.

The bridesmaids’ bouquets contained white sweet peas, Patience garden roses, fern curls, green hydrangea, green mini cymbidiums, scented geranium, native grasses, seeded eucalyptus, Super Green roses, and green minou spray roses.

Sarah and her bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning.

At the reception we added blush pink to the ivory, green and esspresso color palette. The reception was held at Apple Mountain Golf Course in Freeland, MI. It was such a pleasure to set up at Apple Mountain. Abbe, the on-site event coordinator, and her staff were so incredibly sweet and helpful.

To keep the 40 guest tables interesting there were three different centerpieces. The first centerpiece was a wooden box overflowing with flowers, branches and pods.

The second centerpiece included a trio of floating candles nestled in a bed of roses, hydrangea, sweet peas and astilbe.

The third, and most dramatic centerpiece was a lush garden raised up on 32” black iron stands. A trio of votives hung down from spiraled green wire.

I also want to give a shout out to DJ Ryan Rousseau. He is an incredible DJ with great equipment, and he did an awesome job of keeping the guests partying at the reception right until the very end.

Sarah and Chris are such a sweet couple, and I’m sad that I won’t be seeing them as much now that their wedding is over! Congratulations you two!

On June 4th I delivered bright and cheery wedding flowers to Megan and Michael in Traverse City. The bridal bouquet was made up of Yuki, Snowy, and Galaxy mini gerberas. Each of the three bridesmaids wore clover green dresses and carried a bouquet that matched one gerbera from the bridal bouquet. (The fourth bouquet of Café mini gerberas was the toss bouquet.)

The reception was held in the beautiful Peninsula Room of Mission Table. I love how the room came fully equipped with chivari chairs! The centerpiece on each table was comprised of three pots of wheatgrass and mixed gerbera daisies. The centerpieces doubled as gifts for the guests.

Congratulations Megan and Michael!

I had a blast working with such a talented and creative group!

On May 14th I delivered some sweet and whimsical personal flowers to Jennifer and Rob. Jen envisioned flowers that were vintage and romantic, but playful and light-hearted at the same time. Her bridesmaids wore different hues of turquoise. We used flowers in white, ivory, blush, and green to stand out against the dresses. The bouquets contained white sweetpeas, Polar Star roses, white peonies, white French tulips, green parrot tulips, bunny tail grass, succulents, scented geranium, Green Fashion roses, and Star Blush spray roses. A beige linen and ivory lace stem wrap, and a dusting of white eyelash feathers completed the bouquets.

The corsages were sweet and simple and included Star Blush spray roses, green leucadendron and ivory chiffon ribbon on a pearl bracelet.

The boutonnieres were also soft and sweet with Star Blush spray roses, green leucadrendron, and bunny tail grass wrapped with beige satin.

Congratulations Jen and Rob!

On Saturday I delivered flowers to Jody and Chris. Their color scheme was fresh and clean, with flowers in shades of green and white - the perfect palette for a spring wedding. The ceremony was held at the Fenton United Methodist Church. Jody’s bouquet contained Eucharis lilies, ivory mini callas, white peonies, white sweet peas, white sweetheart roses, white and green mini cymbidiums, green hydrangea, Super Green roses, Green Trick dianthus, alchemilla, and scented geranium.

We used lush garden-style centerpieces for half of the reception. They contained white hydrangea, Polar Star roses, white sweet peas, white sweetheart roses, Green Trick dianthus, Jade trachellium, alchemilla, scented geranium, seeded eucalyptus and curly willow branches, in a recycled mache urn.

The low garden-style centerpieces were alternated with tall centerpieces of dendrobium orchids and curly willow branches. The reception was held at the Holiday Inn Gateway Centre. The linens were provided by Lorrie at Special Occasions.

Congratulations Jody and Chris!

There’s one good thing about an overcast day - the lighting is just right for flower photos.
