While setting up for Kristen and Bradley's wedding, one of my assistants asked if delivering the bouquets was my favorite part of the day. Truthfully, it's sometimes. Some times I can sense stress or high emotions in the room and I know that it is best to leave the flowers and quickly leave to let the wedding party get back to getting ready. Sometimes I don't actually see

Incorporating Blue into Weddings
When a bride tells me they want to have blue in their wedding, I admit it makes me feel a little anxious. The reason being--there are hardly any blue flowers. Thistle, delphinium, and hydrangea--that's it. If one of those flowers doesn't fit your look, well... You are out of luck. Luckily, delphinium fit Austyn's look perfectly and when she told me she wanted to use
Modern Fall Colors
Mauve is back! Those of you who remember the mauve of the '80s may be asking why but this is mauve in a new way. The warm, rosy tone mixes beautifully with fall colors and gives a more cozy feel from the blush tones we see in spring and fall. We played off the mauve and rust tones of the bridesmaid dresses from Morgan and Andrew's wedding, adding in burgundy, golden
Warm Neutrals
Blush has been trending in wedding design for several years. It is often paired with white, pink, or for contrast, burgundy. I have noticed a shift to warmer pairings more recently and was happy to mix the blush tones with peaches and corals for this wedding at City View. Carrie and Charles' original April wedding design was centered around coral peonies and mixed
A Colorful Summer Wedding
August is one of the prime months for flowers. EVERYTHING is blooming in a riot of color. When Megan said she wanted colorful flowers for her early August wedding to contrast against light blue dresses, I was ready. We picked up the light blue of the bridesmaid dresses with the periwinkle delphinium and added just about every color except red to set it
A Trending Color Palette
Blush pinks have been trending for the past several years, especially when paired with white or burgundy. However, I started to see a shift last year. Weddings were moving towards warmer tones by adding or substituting peach for blush and incorporating deeper gold tones. Blush also began becoming more saturated and moving towards mauve or a dusty rose tone. This
A Pastel Palette at Discovery Lodge
Blush pink, peach, white, and blue. A classic pastel combination. Erin and Josh's ceremony was at St. Peter and Paul in Haubstadt followed by a reception at the Discovery Lodge at Burdette Park. It was full of flowers, greenery, and candles in the classic palette and metallic accents. There were four different table designs--an elevated arrangement, a low
A Coral and Pink Wedding at City View
I don't hide the fact that I love a bold color palette. When it includes coral--even better! This wedding was filled with pinks, corals, and peaches with white and gold accents. The ceremony was held at St. Anthony Catholic Church. We added some decor on the pews and in front of the altar but a beautiful church like St. Anthony doesn't need to be
An Elopement at Camp Reveal
The big question for many couples this spring: Do we keep our original wedding date or postpone? Austyn and Aaron decided to keep their original wedding date and hold a ceremony with their families. They are planning a vow renewal and reception in September. Two days to celebrate! Small weddings have a different vibe. Of course they can still be beautiful, fun, and
A Spring Elopement
The coronavirus has changed wedding plans for a lot of couples. Some, though, are still choosing to marry regardless of mandates and social distancing. I heard someone say that the virus may be changing plans but it isn't changing relationships. That is so true and why I am excited that Sarah and Mason still had a chance to get married this past Saturday. Sarah's
