Peonies & Succulents: Erin & Mark's Rustic Wedding at The Old Mill in Rose Valley, Pa.

 Erin's wedding was without a doubt one of my favorite weddings of 2013. There were so many gorgeous details that were rustic and earthy, and it turned out simply perfect!

 

Erin carried primarily ivory hydrangeas, peonies, spray roses, ranunculus, and added color with beautiful lavender succulents and pops of green. LOVED IT!

The girls carried gorgeous bouquets with coral peonies, pink peonies, peach and pink roses, succulents, lamb's ear from my garden, hydrangeas, and hypericum berries. 

I love these colors! These fabulous photos are by Root Photography from Nashville, TN.

The ceremony took place on a gorgeous summer afternoon at The Old Mill in Rose Valley, Pa. It was a stunning venue and I hope to go back!

 

We created two arrangements for some color in front of the bamboo background. 

It was a gorgeous place and even had a stream right next to the ceremony.

Erin and her mom Sally, one of the sweetest people I've ever met!

I snapped this quick photo in the two minutes before the Erin walked down the aisle. I was so happy to catch such a great photo for her!

 

 

I created centerpieces to match the bridesmaids with a lot of the same flowers 

like hydrangeas, peonies, and roses, and placed them on top of our iron flower stands.

 Erin's mom decorated loads of vases and bottles with twine, fabric flowers,  and burlap 

and everything looked stunning!

 

Congratulations to Erin and Mark! I absolutely loved every minute of working with you guys, and Sally too!

Sweet Cherry Blossoms: Rachel & Sean's Romantic Wedding at Valenzano Winery

 

Rachel's wedding was one of my favorite from this past spring. She had a gorgeous outdoor ceremony at Valenzano Winery in Shamong, NJ. Check out these beautiful photos from Stephanie Jones Photography! Her ceremony was decorated with huge urns filled with cherry blossoms, which were perfect for her May wedding!

 

Rachel's bouquet was created with all white garden flowers like peonies, ranunculus, 

sweet peas, and queen anne's lace.

 

 

The cake showed up a disastrous mess so I hid the damage with white hydrangea blooms, which I think look like the perfect finishing touch.

Spring Fling Inspirational Photo Shoot PART ONE with Laura Leigh Photo!

I had the opportunity to work with one of my favorite photographers this April for a super fun spring photo shoot. I have have been working with Laura from Laura Leigh Photo for a few years and every wedding we do together turns out gorgeous on her blog! She is a truly talented and amazing photographer! We chose the setting at my in-law's residence in Pittsgrove, NJ. I always tell my husband how lucky he was to grow up in such a serene, secluded, and natural atmosphere. They live less than a mile from Parvin State Park and there is a beautiful creek behind their property. We took a few hours on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon and set up a bunch of backdrops. Enjoy Part One of Three! I'd love to give credit to our fabulous models...my two sister-in-laws, Melissa and Melissa!

I wanted this bouquet to be romantic and earthy, so I picked some natural elements like cotton blooms. I used Romantik Antike garden roses, white and pink peonies, pink sweet peas, and Ilse spray roses. I added some bling with some of my champagne jewels and gold metallic skeleton leaves. Then my sister-in-law crocheted this ivory sleeve with custom buttons! We now offer these as an option in any color and button style for bridal and bridesmaids bouquets.

I love the fresh pinks against this mocha lacy dress and cowgirl boots!

Our tablescape featured burlap, bark, and cotton elements. It turned out so pretty. Tell me this isn't a dream location for a wedding ceremony!

I filled mercury vases with more Romantik Antike garden roses, and featured my new purple bottles filled with hydrangeas and cotton blooms.

It is simply a gorgeous location!

I love the look of a floating rose in this vintage faux fountain! I have some of these in my boutique for sale!!

This is such a fun photo with the reflection of the bouquet! I adored these flowers and the pictures turned out completely amazing! I am so excited to feature PART TWO and PART THREE! I think everyone will like what they see! A HUGE thank you to Laura and Shawn for spending the day with us and letting us meet precious Leah! She is absolutely adorable and we wish you guys so many happy times together!
