Heather & Timothy

Heather & Timothy were wed this past weekend at The Baughman Center. Hot pink & ivory were the colors of the day. Heather Wanted to use calla lilies, but with a little twist. We airbrushed the calla lilies with a hot pink. Below are the bridesmaids & bridal bouquets. Heather carried a mix of hydrangea, gerbera daisy, roses & alstromeria.

Here are the handsome men in her bridal party. Notice the gray skies in the background. They do say, rainy wedding day leads to a prosperous marriage.

Here are the lovely place settings that awaited guests at The Rustic Manor for the reception.

This is the best that the stage at Rustic Manor has ever looked. What a great job decorating.

We accented the cake with a little ivory & hot pink.

Amanda & Joe

Amanda & Joe had a picture perfect wedding at Bay Laurel, in historic Micanopy. It was my first trip to Bay Laurel and it was breath taking. No one was dressed yet when I arrived, so I only took a few quick shots of the aisle markers.

Kathy at KB Kakes sent me this stunning picture of the cake she created for Amanda & Joe.

Brittany & Ross

Brittany & Ross were wed a few weeks ago. Pink & Ivory were the colors of the day. I decided to do a picture collage, with a little help from Sarah. I love the cakes that Ms. Debbie created, and they smelled SOOOO good. I guess we are lucky that Abbey wasn't there to take a bite. I received this nice note from Brittany's Mom the day after the wedding.....
Betsy ----- The flowers for Brittany's wedding were incredible!!! The church was lovely, the girls' bouquets were exquisite and there aren't enough adjectives to describe the reception flowers!! Thank you for making Brittany's wedding flowers the picture of perfection!! ---Cindy

Rain Rain Went Away.

The rain went away for Stefanie & Andrew. Their rainy afternoon was just one of many we were to experience for the next week. I thought I'd add a few more pictured from their day. Here is Abbey modeling the flower girl flower crown.

And here is the flower girl.....what a cutie.

Here are the kissing balls we lined the aisle with. Thanks Theresa for making all 10 of them. We used white cushion mums, and for a touch of blue some spray roses, that were airbrushed.

Here is one of the groomsmen showing off his bouts, made of blue delphinium, and a salal leaf.

Here is the fantastic cake made by Jenny Wagner at Cakes by Jenny.

A candy bar was set up for guests to enjoy. It showcased Andrew & Stefanie's favorite candies.

Here is a final view of the ceremony site, with the dark clouds in the background. Luckily the shower was over quickly.

Rachel & Jason

Sage, Black & Ivory were the colors Rachel picked for her wedding to Jason this past Saturday. Leah at Celebrations Catering & I help her pick hot pink as an accent, a little punch of color. Rachel wanted a small cascade for her bouquet. Her bouquet was made of roses, spray roses, trachelium, hypericum, plumosa fern & sinesis. A few pearls were added to accent the flowers.

Her maid of honor's bouquet was hand tied, of roses, hypericum & sinenis.
Rachel picked out the cutest topper, one of which I had never seen before. I added a few flowers, including cymbidium orchids, dendrobium orchids, spray roses, & trachelium.
The guest tables had pictures of the happy couple as they were growing up. A vase, with black rocks and dendrobium orchids were added to the tables for a punch of color.

Amy & Shane's, pt. 2

The box of corsages waiting to be pinned on. We did a mix of colors and flowers to match the theme of the day. Spray roses, solidago and wax flowers finished off with a fuchsia bow.

A great view of their cake. The ladies from Icing on the Cake, did a great job of adding flowers to the cake. A bridesmaid's bouquet lays on the table, as a great floral accent.

I took this picture of Betty (a bridesmaid) holding her bouquet. Notice how the bouquet has fuchsia flowers in it, that compliments the dress, but still stands out, by having a mix of colors.

Jennifer & Michael pt. 2

Here are some great reception shots by Jason Angelini. For a special touch at the reception, we added daisy flowers to each napkin.

The cake by Cakes by Jenny, looked great with the floral accents we provided.

A close up on the cake flowers.

Catherine & Pro's Kake

I couldn't resist putting up a few more pictures from Catherine & Pro's wedding. Kathy at KB Kake Kreations made this fabulous & yummy cake that Dove Photography captured.

A closeup of the topper. What great flower placement by KB Kakes. They filled in between the layers with flowers we provided, so that they are a perfect match to the flowers used the rest of the day.

Tina & Dan

Powers Photography supplied me with these wonderful images of Tina and Dan's March wedding. I have been waiting for these images (it took me a while to figure out what I wanted), instead of using mine, because I knew I could not do the flowers justice. Most of the pictures on this blog are ones I have taken, but you can so tell the difference when a pro takes them.
Tina's bouquet of made of hydrangeas, stephanotis, brown hypericum and green cymbidium orchids.
Dan's bout was a green cymbidium orchid with green hypericum berries.
FYI: Hypericum berries are St. John's wort. Many a groom has joked about popping a few berries in their mouth during the ceremony.
Don't you love how the bouquets just pop in front of the chocolate dresses. I am in love with that lime green color.

Here is the magnificent cake by KB Kake Kreations. You will notice the palm tree in the background. We rent those and other plants to help cover up unsightly areas, or to make you location a little warmer.

Keri and Branden

Keri & Branden were married on Saturday. Red and Black for the colors of the day. The large stage at Westside Baptist Church was adorned with columns topped by ferns. To include some red we added Carnations, in water tubes. The ferns were later transported to Savannah Grande for the reception. Keri and her attendants carried bouquets of red roses, handtied and wrapped with black ribbon.

Walking up the aisle, Keri passed 8 shorter columns, which held candles and arrangements of red roses.

Cakes by Jenny made this marvelous cake, which we provided red roses and spray roses to be used as the topper and between layers.
