Peach & Canary: Heather and John's Wedding at The Carriage House at Rockwood Park

Heather's flowers were total eye candy, and so much fun to make! Heather carried all white open peonies and white stephanotis blooms with pearl pins.



I absolutely LOVED the bridesmaids bouquets! I used lime and yellow cymbidium orchids, green antique hydrangeas, peach ranunculus, peach "Juliet" David Austin garden roses, and purple fiddles.

Heather was hilarious when we got to the house. She literally screamed when she saw her flowers! She was so happy it totally made my day! I love when it when the bride gets to see the final product after so many months of planning.




I think this is one of my very favorite color combinations. So lively and happy :)

 The ceremony took place at St. Elizabeth Roman Catholic Church in Wilmington, Delaware.


The altar was decorated with tall vases filled white hydrangeas, green amaranthus, lime orchids, curly willow, white agapanthus, peonies, and baby's breath.

 The pews were lined with white hydrangeas.

 The reception took place at The Carriage House at Rockwood Park in Wilmington, Delaware. This venue is AMAZING!

            The ballroom reminds you of a barn setting with the huge barn doors and stone walls.

Heather had three different centerpieces. This style had submerged lime cymbidium orchids, and river rock to accent.

The cake was accented with yellow cymbidium orchids.


Her place card table was decorated with a large flat of wheat grass, along with more yellow orchids. I loved this venue, it was very barn-like and in the middle of a gorgeous historic park. Just a really cool place for a wedding! Congratulations again guys!!!

Elena and Joe's Wedding at One Atlantic!

Elena's November wedding was a gorgeous elegant event with very clean lines and simple colors. We used only mini callas for all the bouquets and they looked beautiful with the deep aubergine dresses. These fabulous photos are by Spark Photography! The last wedding we did with them was published in The Knot magazine in 2009!!!

Elena carried only deep blackish purple Schwartzenfelder mini callas.

The maid of honor carried only Picasso mini callas, while the bridesmaids carried solid white mini callas.

I absolutely LOVE these! This shade has been HUGE in the last couple years.



The men wore ivory button dahlias.

The groom wore a deep aubergine mini calla.

The mom's had the same corsage that could be worn or placed on a clutch.

Check out the Rolls Royce!

The ceremony took place at St. Dimitrios Greek Orthodox Church in North Wildwood. The reception took place at One Atlantic in Atlantic City!

We decorated the cocktail space with very simple cubes filled with purple crystals and random blooms like mini callas and button dahlias.

This is so pretty!

I LOVE the space, and the view!


Everyone looks stunning!







They went with two different centerpieces. Half of the table had low cylinders with submerged mini callas and floating candles.

The other half of their tables had submerged white dendrobium orchids. I love the white pebbles in the base. I always use fun colors ( a great way to add a funky shade like aqua or cobalt blue)

The purple uplighting looks so amazing!


The room looked fabulous!


Such a fun way to leave a "message in a bottle" for the bride and groom! It was a pleasure working with you guys! I am so happy you guys were thrilled with everything! Congratulations!

Evalis and David's Fabulous Wedding in Philadelphia on July 16, 2011

This wedding was one of my absolute favorites! Evalis and David were amazing to work with and I also got to work with two of my favorite vendors, Laura Leigh Photo and Kristin from Bel Momento! You will be amazed by the photos of this wedding! Evalis' bouquet is above, and I used David Austin garden roses in white and pale pink, and also some pale pink standard roses. It smelled breathtaking!

The girls carried gorgeous bouquets of phaelenopsis orchids, garden roses, stock blooms, and purple moon carnations. Yes, carnations, they aren't all that bad, ya know.

The girls looked amazing and the flowers were perfect!

I could not be happier with how these flowers turned out!

The ceremony took place in the library at Le Meriden Hotel in Phildelphia. The space was so cool and so modern, yet classic with loads of architecture. I fell in love with this place the first time I saw it this past winter. I will stay there someday!

An awesome moment!

This is such a gorgeous photo!

The rings!

These two were so obviously head over heels for each other! They were a blast to work with!

Taking in the views of the city!



The cocktail space is INSANE! You are indoors, yet outdoors...sorta!

Completely insane!

The room turned out gorgeous. Evalis had loads of purple uplighting!

Lighting is a HUGE factor in how amazing a space feels! This room looked amazing before the lighting, but this just finished it!


Half of her tables were these tall cylinders with crystals inside, topped with a huge ball of dark purple moon carnations. It just looked amazing! The low tables were a half circle with an orchid pinned into the circle.


One of the coolest hallways I have ever seen!

Congratulations to you both! It was a pleasure working with such a happy and fun, loving couple. You were amazing through the entire planning process! Have a beautiful marriage!
