A Trending Color Palette With a Pop of Red

Blush and white are staples in the wedding world. Recently, mauve has been added as a more saturated and deeper shade of pink making this trending color palette gain popularity. We used these tones for Katie and Tommy’s wedding at the Bauerhaus but also added a pop of red. Adding another color to this palette […]

Our German heritage is a large part of our Southwestern Indiana culture. Our festivals, restaurant offerings, and town and street names are examples of that ancestry. The Bauerhaus in Darmstadt is an example of German style. (Also, the name of the venue and the town name is another give away!) Some of the talented area […]

A White Wedding at the Bauerhaus

You may have noticed that I do a lot of events at the Bauerhaus. The main reason is that they are wonderful people that I love to work with! I’ve been asked if it is difficult to work at one particular venue and still keep things fresh. I never design the same thing twice. There […]

One Venue, Three Ways

I am honored to be a preferred venue at The Bauerhaus.  Their staff is some of the friendliest and easiest to work with in the area.  So when they asked me to participate in their bridal open house, I was happy to participate. My task was to decorate three tables.  I had to ask myself, […]

Fall Wedding Featuring Cool Blues

Coral and navy are both trending in the wedding world and I love it.  I find beauty in all weddings but I admit to having a fondness for bright colors.  Coral is high on my list right now.  If you feel the same way that I do, you are going to love Kim and Darron’s […]

Autumn Wedding Inspiration

Last October we participated in a beautiful styled photo shoot at the Bauerhaus that showcased the gorgeous colors of the season and their picturesque property. We chose traditional reds, oranges, burgundies, and yellows, but made sure to fill the arrangements with texture by using pincushion and safari sunset proteas, fuzzy green dianthus balls, spiky thistle, […]

Simple, Blush Beauty

We flowered a lovely wedding a few weeks ago at the Bauerhaus.  Peonies, hydrangeas, roses, wax flower and lots of greenery added simple touches for the couple. Peonies are always a good choice for a bridal bouquet!  These ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ peonies were gorgeous and the pink spray roses opened perfectly. Bridesmaid bouquets echoed the same […]
