Dear dear Martha,

I could not be more obsessed or blown away with the stunning works of arts you created for my wedding.

You took my vision and made it even more gorgeous than I could have dreamed. The bouquets were magical, the boutonnières were perfection, and don't get me started on the ribbon curtain. It was color and romance and whimsy all wrapped up and swirling in love.

 Thank you for making our day beautiful. You'll be in our hearts forever.
With love and so much gratitude,
Mr and Mrs James and Emily Lisowski!!

 

 

 

I can't wait to show you this wedding when the fabulous Sonja of Sonia Savio Photography, has the images from this wedding ready for us!

 

 

 

Wedding Arbor

For brides getting married outside there is often an arbor for the ceremony.  Here is an arbor we decorated at The Monte Verde Inn.  We used simple organza and hydrangea to create a lovely bridal look for this outdoor wedding.

Flower Girl Wagon

 Do you have a flower girl that is very young?  Maybe not yet walking or little enough to be very unpredictable?  A wagon is a great way to get that little girl down the aisle.
Here is a flower girl wagon we decorated not to long ago.

Jocie's Wedding

  Jocie's wedding was dear to my heart. I met her when she was 8 months old.  She grew up with my older girls. So I was thrilled to be able to do her wedding flowers.

We hung mason jars down the aisle

Jocie's little nieces

So sweet to see Matt walk Jocie down the aisle

For years we went to Jocies house for picnics and dinners, we had lots of balloon tosses, races, tug of wars etc... right here  on  this lawn where Jocie got married.

Blake is a fire fighter so his station suprised them with a few sirens

  It's been a while since I have posted, gets a bit crazy during wedding season.  Here is a little taste of one of our June weddings at Berghold Winery in Lodi. 
 Ivory, pale pinks and blush were the colors of the wedding flowers. I love a pretty petal aisle and the large flower arrangments defining the aisle. Such a  pretty wedding ceremony aisle for a bride to walk down.

Oak Farm Vineyard Wedding Lodi California the Ceremony

After the guests strolled down the "Welcoming" entry they were treated to refreshments at the beverage station before they were seated at the ceremony.



For the beautiful ceremony area at Oak Farm Vineyard, we had an architect design these amazing arches to create the feeling of an outdoor chapel. I do offer them for rent to Blooms brides:)
Blooms by Martha Andrews created a two tiered floral chandelier to be the focal point for the bride and groom to stand under while they took their vows.
We then placed tin buckets full of babies breath at the base of each arch. The guests were seated from on of three aisle ways. Then are beautiful bride entered from a path facing the guests while being escorted by her father.
The oak tree offered an amazing spot to be married.

I always tell my brides that the photographer is your most important vendor, they are the one who sill capture all the beauty of the day, all the hard work you have put into planning your wedding. I'm sure you agree that Tanja Lippert, one of the best I work with, did a fabulous job of creating images from this wedding day.
Tia Regan was instrumental in making all of the ladies of the day, mother of the bride, sister of the bride and grandmother look their very best with her great wedding hair and make up skills.
And of course choosing such a lovely wedding venue, Oakfarm Vineyard was one of the first smart choices our couple made.

Flower girls

Anyone who know me knows I love children, I should, I have 7! One of the best parts of a wedding are the children involved especially the little girls. I was one of those girls who had her wedding planned by the time I was 3. I still remember how it felt to play dress up and dream of being a princess. I think that's why a flower wand is my favorite choice for flower girl accessories. What better way to "play" princess than to get to be in a wedding, walk down the aisle all dressed up in a spinney dress carrying a flower wand.

I also love making little baskets or purses out of flowers for the flower girl to carry. This way she has a floral bouquet of sorts, but can still toss petals.

Chester Wedding Reception!!!! Part 3, the end.

I really love this wedding, the property was so beautiful and we were able to create rooms for each part of the wedding day. Ceremony then along a wooded path to cocktails, then along another pathway to the dinner dance reception.
It looked a bit like renaissance pavillion with all the tents supplied by Raj Tents. Just gorgeous. The photo booth tent held 2 antique carousal horses to pose by. The bride an groom danced to a live Frank Sinatra cover band and then as the evening went on moved to a D.J. They all danced the night away!
