When Shillawna Ruffner asked me to make a bouquet for an engagement photo shoot, I happily agreed. I have made a few flower crowns for photo shoots but I began to wonder why more people don't ask for bouquets for photo shoots. So, today I have 3 reasons why flowers make everything better!

Greenery, white, hints of blush, and candlelight are the new classic. Jayme and Tirey's wedding had all of these features. Sophisticated, elegant, and timeless. Take a look.
