Shari and Joe's Wedding on November 13, 2010 in Sea Isle and Galloway, NJ

Shari and Joe's wedding flowers were a BLAST to do! The bright pinks and vibrant purples remind me of my childhood My Little Pony days when those were my favorite colors. Shari and Joe were married at an adorable church in Sea Isle City, with a reception at The Sea View Resort by Dolce in Galloway, NJ. These fabulous photos are courtesy of Meyers Photography, one of my absolute favorites! They do amazing, amazing work and captured all of details from their gorgeous day! Enjoy!


Shari's bouquet was designed with peonies, roses, spray roses, hypericum berries, and gerbera daisies. The peonies had the perfect hint of color with their faint splashes of hot pink.

The bridesmaids carried bouquets designed with peonies, dahlias, garden roses, gerberas, lisianthus, green hypericum berries, stock and mokara orchids. They look amazing with the dark purple dresses.


The flower girl had a beautiful halo of stock blooms, mini roses, and berries. Absolutely adorable!

LOVE these dresses!

We accented the back pews of the church with dendrobium orchids and white satin.

I LOVED her church decor! White hydrangeas marked the family aisles and the altar had two tall cylinders filled with loads of flowers to mimic the bouquets in some softer colors and stay more traditional.

It was a gorgeous beach day in November!



Every single goldfish thrived during the reception! I babied these little guys and made sure they had a home after the event. Finally, I got to use goldfish for the first time in about 5 years!

The room looked fabulous! We did 4 centerpiece styles to add loads of color and interest.

The popular tall centerpiece was a similar style as what we did in the church.

This tall style is one of my favorite. The purple rocks with pink Calypso mokara orchids brought everyone's eye down to the tables once these saw these arrangements of crazy color!

I LOVE using tropical calithea leaves tucked into vases!

Her card table looked amazing!

Starfish were placed all around the sweetheart table.

This wedding was one of my favorites for the entire year and it was a blast creating this for the happy couple. Shari's mom said Shari cried when she saw the room, which made me so happy, she was absolutely ecstatic! Thank you so much for the chance to be part of your awesome day! I am sure the mummers playing on the dance floor took the spotlight from our little gold fish friends for a while, but I think this was one of the most memorable weddings we've done so far! Congratulations guy! We wish you the very best for a wonderful future together!

Debbie and Mike's Wedding on September 25, 2010

Mike and Debbie were married last fall and chose gorgeous pastels with some pops of gorgeous purples, all to contrast the turquoise dresses. The flowers we worked with are absolutely signature Savannah's Garden favorites! Sweet peas, hydrangeas, garden roses, asiatic lilies, dahlias, hypericum berries, lisianthus, and spray roses.



I absolutely LOVE everything about these flowers!


A close up of Debbie's bouquet. Her and I go way back, as we went to grade school together. It's always great to catch up with old friends and be able to help add something to the biggest day of their lives. I totally LOVE my job!


We used button dahlias for the men's flowers.


A gorgeous garden ceremony was held at the First Wesleyan Church in Bridgeton, NJ. I absolutely love the setting of all the lively ambiance of the fresh flowers, arranged and potted. This is something I always recommend doing when you want to have gifts for the family to bring home. They can  plant the flowers and  remember the wonderful wedding memories every time they walk through their garden.


All the beautiful girls!

Their reception was held at Lucien's in Berlin. The cake was gorgeous!

I LOVE cakes that are covered in fresh flowers!

LOVED her centerpieces! Simple, fragrant garden flowers with loads of ivy for a pretty garden feel. I want to wish you guys a fabulous life together as husband and wife and many, many blessings!

Running Deer Bridal Show on February 13, 2011

We had a BLAST at the recent bridal show at Running Deer Golf Club on 2/13/11. It was a great show at a great venue! Absolutely the nicest in Salem County and the best in Pittsgrove Township BY FAR! Heather and Tara are great to work with as well! My wedding reception was at Running Deer in 2004 and we have been setting up weddings here since before that! It was an insane weekend for us being this show fell on Valentine's Day Eve, but we were able to create some fun and natural pieces that reflected the season. Spring is in the air and we loaded the table with fresh arrangements that caught everyone's eye! If time allowed, I would have done way more. Regardless, it was a wonderful, electric show, and we met loads of new brides, and also caught up with a few former ones too! These fabulous photos are courtesy of Tami Melissa Photography, who is based out of Barrington, NJ and is simply AMAZING! We have worked together for about a year after her business was formed, and her business is booming! She is booking super fast so call her if you like what you see!

The table screamed spring!

This bouquet was so vivid, it was blinding. Hot pink gerberas, fuschia phalenopsis orchids, yellow and orange roses, hot pink hyacinths, green trick, and a thick diamond crystal bracelet at the base of the cobalt satin ribbon covering the stems.

Simple and springy. Daffodils in their pure beauty with a crystal dragonfly. I love aqua and yellow!

White hydrangeas, champagne Sahara roses, and ivory gerberas in a cube wrapped with champagne satin and a pretty antique brooch. I am crazy for anything Shabby Chic and sparkly!

I LOVE blooming branches and these quince branches opened just in time, that I had to use them. I love using botanicals in their raw state, so why embellish a good thing? Ok, maybe embellish slightly, I added tiny Swarovski crystals to this arrangement designed with Dew Drop gerberas, Mimi Eden spray roses, Sahara roses, daffodils, and hot pink ranunculus.

FABULOUS new photographer that I just met! Lindsay Docherty is based out of Philadelphia in the Main Line area, so if you need someone in the city, or anywhere else, Lindsay does awesome work! She took all of these photos and sent them over!

Check out her amazing booth! Simply the coolest setting for a bridal show! I absolutely LOVE this!
