Laurie and Jon's Wedding in Flint, Michigan

Laurie and Jon's wedding in May might be my favorite wedding of the year. Laurie and Jon are an incredibly sweet couple, and they used a vintage purple color palette that was after my own heart. The couple was married at the First Presbyterian Church of Flint. The gorgeous photos were taken by Bravo Studios Photography. Laurie and Jon

Don't Laurie and Jon make a beautiful couple?

Laurie and a bridesmaid

The bridesmaids wore Watters and Watters dresses in “foliage.” I tried to pick up on the color with lots of foliages in blues and silvers.

I snagged the next few photos of centerpieces during setup. The reception was held at the Holiday Inn Gateway in Flint, the linens were provided by Lorrie at Special Occasions, and the draping and lighting was done by Dennis at The Whole 9 Yards. centerpiece with a trio floating candles surrounded by a ring of curly willow, white sweet peas, little silver spray roses, amnesia roses, dendrobium orchids, Japanese maple, green leucadendron, baby blue eucalyptus and dusty miller

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

Erin and Ryan's Wedding in Plymouth, Michigan

bridal bouquet with tweedia, pale blue hydrangea, Cream Prophyta roses, green mini cymbidiums, bupleurum and variegated lily grass 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.
