Fall wedding at La Provence

For this La Provence wedding we used the lower ceremony area under the beautiful old oak tree. We placed a moss covered heart on the tree and then 2 french provential stands.
The aisle was adorned with large rod iron stands with large florals for a dramtic walk down the aisle.


Rebecca's dad and brother walked her down the aisle






Getting married




For the bride, antique garden roses, bouvardia, snow berries, rosemary, and ostrich feathers.

Rock and Roll Bride

For the bride who just isn't like everyone else! How about a rock-n-roll theme?



Guitar cookies made by Village Cake Company





Custom leather chair covers by Wild Flower Linen






Fabulous boutoineer



























The place cards are "back stage passes"




















The team





















A while back I did a photo shoot with some wedding friends Catriona of www.arcularius-events.com/ and Jennifer from www.memoryjournalists.com/
We went with a rock and roll theme. Catriona found these fabulous custom made leather chair covers from Wildflower linen along with a leather table linen, leopard and red!
I brought in aluminum sheets to serve as our back drop and cut chargers for our place settings out of aluminum as well.
I used antherium and caranations with lots of bling! Then I accented the fabulous Z gallery chandelier with strands of carnations.
Partick from Village Cake Comany made wonderful guitar cookies and Sarah with Bella Vita Invitations did all our paper, place settings etc...

Scottish Wedding with Family Plaid



For the mothers we went with Victorian Tussie Mussies




My first wedding of 2010 was a small intimate affair. The lovely bride, Margaret, flew in from New York and was married at the Monte Verde Inn.
Margaret is from Scottish Heritage, and so we used her family plaid to wrap her bouquet and the boutonnieres.
Flowers used, Amarlyis, roses, dusty miller, rosemary, ranuculus and various berries.

Tropical Summer Wedding with Lady Slipper Orchids

The wedding took place on the brides property the Palm Lake Retreat.
The evening started out with a ceremony under the tent on the lawn and them moved over to the sand area for dinner and dancing. There were Margaritas on the boat dock and boat rides around the lake for guests.
A great way to have a beach wedding without travling to the beach.
