Canary and Pewter: Jessica and Kevin's Summer Wedding at Pond View Farm

 Let me start first by saying this is absolutely one of my favorite weddings of 2014. I 

think I  kinda lost it a bit when I saw these glorious photos too! Jessica is one of the 

sweetest  brides I have ever worked with, and when she booked me to do her flowers 

for her summer wedding, I was more than excited!!! Summer is my favorite time of year because 

there are a TON of gorgeous, local flowers, and I am happy that most of her flowers came

from local farms, and even a few from my own garden ( hint hint: that HUGE white dahlia right 

smack in front in the photo above). Please enjoy these stunning photos by Tina

Jay Photography, Tina completely captured the beauty of the day!

 I LOVE seeing photos from Tina's weddings, because there are so many great flower

 photos that I can't even choose. So I just put all my favorites!

 I designed the bouquets with dahlias, zinnias, crespedia, asclepias, ranunculus, scabiosa, tulips, 

chamomile, dusty miller, queen anne's lace, mini gerberas, and more wildflowers. Jessica gave 

me creative freedom so I was in my glory making these!

 The bouquets were wrapped with a grey burlap and a yellow satin knot for

 the bridesmaids and Jessica's bouquet was wrapped with ivory burlap and

finished with a pewter satin knot. I love this look and it's a great way to add

more color to the bouquets.

 

 Kevin wore a white ranunculus bloom with grey dusty miller and burlap.

 Ok, so get ready to be blown away by the scenery for Jessica and Kevin's first

glance. The ceremony and reception took place at Pond View Farm in White

Hall, Maryland. This place is gorgeous, like every inch of it!!! I wish it was closer!

 They had the most gorgeous day for an outdoor wedding, the weather couldn't

be more perfect!

 Jessica and Kevin make a gorgeous couple and they look so happy!!!

 Jessica looks like a true Southern Belle!!!!!!

I love the yellow bouquets against the grey dresses. 

 I am in love with the bouquet for the mother of the bride, I think it's such a fun way

to bring in more color to the photos.

 Seriously, how gorgeous is this place???

 Because I am obsessed with the south and weeping willow trees. I can just take

a deep breath and feel the warm sun right now ( really missing summer right now).

 Jessica along with her family and friends created the floral decor for the ceremony and

reception. Girls ( and guys ), you did an AMAZING job!!!

 This place is out of a dream.

Absolutely adorable place cards! Kevin's family are farmers with a feed store

so these adorable cows are perfect!

Jessica and Kevin had this adorable thumb print tree, complete with the little chocolate lab, 

custom created by Rebecca from Wing and Willow. She is a childhood friend of mine

 and no one compares to her artistic creativity. Check out her Facebook Page to see how she 

customizes these trees, such an awesome keepsake! And a big thank you to Jessica and Kevin for allowing me to be part of your wedding day! Congratulations to you both!!!

Burlap and Berries: Danielle and Edward's Princeton Wedding

I was so excited when Danielle called me about doing her wedding flowers. We've known each other since 4th grade and I just knew her flowers would be amazing. Her wedding would be very intimate and rustic, so I had a lot of fun with her textures and kept the flowers soft. I was also sooo happy that Danielle was able to book Laura Leigh Photo, one of my favorite photographers!

I designed her bouquet with cotton blooms, sweet peas, Vendela roses, ranunculus, anemones, phlox, stock, rosemary, lisianthus, hypericum berries, wheat, cedar, curly willow loops, and baby's breath. I absolutely LOVE how these flowers turned out!

Her maid of honor is also a childhood friend of mine, so this was super exciting for me!

                             

Rebecca's bouquet was a smaller version of Danielle's, with burlap over the stems.

I love the cedar in this bouquet, which is my favorite winter green.

Their ceremony took place at a church in Princeton, NJ on a warm, rainy January night. Funny how we were planning for snow.

The pews were decorated with burlap flower cones filled with winter greens and hypericum berries.





Edward wore a simple boutounniere with hypericum berries, cedar, galax, and rosemary.

                         


                          

                       

The happy couple!

                        

 These programs are adorable! I love the trees and twine.

 The maid of honor Rebecca, also owns Wing and Willow, and she specializes in these awesome thumb print trees. I always rave about her because she is so creative and comes up with the coolest accents.

 I love these little flags! Definitely check her out if you are looking for something different for your wedding, bridal shower, or even one for a baby shower gift. She does the prettiest trees! I can't wait to see the one she is designing for me :)

 

I supplied fresh moss, thick tree slabs, and curly willow branches, and Danielle and Rebecca came up with the rest. They did an AWESOME job!

Congratulations Danielle and Edward! You guys had a beautiful winter wedding!!! I wish you both the very best for a very happy marriage full of blessings!
