I don't hide that I prefer to use seasonal ingredients in my designs. November can be a tough month, though. When Mary told me that she liked the muted tones of November and dried flowers, I was excited! This was the first wedding I have been able to design with dried elements and I love the look of both the dried flowers and ornamental grass

A Colorful Lego Superhero Themed Wedding
Superheroes and legos? Sure! It is not your typical wedding design but I love doing things that are not typical. This was SO. FUN!!! It helped that Ryan and Christi were such a great couple to work with. We started with the bold colors used in comic books. The reception was at the Old Post Office Place. We created three different designs for the guest
Fall Wedding Featuring Cool Blues
When you ask someone to name fall colors, they will probably list the traditional warm tones of reds, oranges, and yellows. Think beyond that though and there is another palette we often see this time of year with cool blues, grays, and brown wood tones. This is the palette we used for Christine and Adam's wedding at the Bauerhaus. Their outdoor ceremony was held
Blue Floral Inspiration
Blue is one of the most popular colors in wedding design. I'm hoping today's post will inspire you if you are considering using blue in your event.

When an English Major Marries a Science Teacher
Personal touches make a wedding so special. This wedding was full of details unique to the bride and groom, bright colors, and it was so much fun!

The bride has an English degree

So, we happily provide centerpieces for the Evansville Teachers Association dinner each May which recognizes retiring teachers in the EVSC and those who have taught for 20 years. The
New Ideas for Floral Jewelry
Corsages have come a long way from those uncomfortable elastic band bracelets we wore to prom. Flowers can be worn in many ways beyond the traditional wrist or pinned corsages. The creative ideas in the design world show that floral jewelry has no boundaries. Our wrist corsages are created on gold or silver cuff bracelets that are truly comfortable to
Winter Inspiration
Seasonal but not Christmas. That was my goal with these pieces last week. Beautiful magnolia foliage with its glossy green front and velvety brown backs and pine cones are definitely considered winter elements. The white roses and lupine invoke feelings of snow and the blue thistle feels icy. I always love using green dianthus for the fun texture it adds. The
Elegant Fall Jewel Tones
We worked with the nicest family on this colorful September wedding. We have been lucky to work with so many great families but it is especially great to work with such gracious and appreciative clients. And these beautiful colors! The ceremony and reception were held at Oak Meadow Country Club on Evansville's north side. Four different but coordinating
