A fun, creative alternative to place cards!!!!!!!!!


I'd like to introduce Rebecca Parker, creator of Wing and Willow, a new approach to adding a personal touch to your wedding, or any special occasion for that matter! Rebecca is an amazing artist with a huge talent that you don't see on a regular basis. Check out her art work. I think you will be happy that you did!


These wedding trees are so awesome and unique!

Each "leaf" is actually a fingerprint!

I LOVE the heart tree!

Personalized with your initials!

She does awesome detail!


My next child will have this on one wall of their bedroom!

This is for a baby shower!

A copy of the sample in my shop! Come in and see it on my mantle as soon as you walk in! Rebecca has cards and an album!

                               


Those are adorable birds!

I am in LOVE with this!

The toes are the coolest!

If you aren't a big fan of trees, you can customize it, like with a cool tractor!


I just love this!

I think Rebecca's business is going to take off! This is just such a fun artistic outlet, and how many of your wedding or shower guests will ever have seen something this cool? Contact Rebecca at parkergoats@yahoo.com. Tell her Laura sent you ;)

Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend, but Who Says They Have to Cost a lot?

I am completely in love with this new diamond wrap we got in about a month ago! It looks like pure crystals, but looks can be deceiving. They are diamond cut, so they have the sparkle and that added bling all our bride's and prom go-er's are looking for!

Choose 3 widths!

LOVE IT!

The possibilties are endless!! Wrap them around cylinders, around the stems of your bouquets, decorate a bout with it, or drape it for a cool place card display!

Luisa's Wedding at The Mansion of Voorhees on April 23, 2011

This wedding was so pretty, and economical too! Luisa rented our shabby lanterns for her ceremony, and her wedding planner moved them to the guest tables to double as centerpieces!

It was such a pretty green and ivory wedding!

We wrapped jasmine vine around the lanterns, which gave an amazing aroma!

These lanterns were placed on a bed of moss with delicate sweet peas, anemones, lady's mantle, maple, and some white butterflies.


Such a great idea if you like something elegant and also budget friendly. Luisa was ecstatic with how these turned out. We were so happy to give them such pretty floral touches!

PROM!!!!!! Some fun photos!

It's that time again! We have had so many calls for prom orders for schools that aren't even in this area! Check out some fun stuff we have done so far. This week is the local prom, we usually get slammed with orders, and as of now, we already have a huge pile of slips! I will post more photos after next weekend!



One of my favorite bouquets so far! Garden roses, orchids, sweet william, callas, anemones, and lisianthus come together perfectly for a jewel toned bunch of happiness!


I got a little excited with the new diamond ribbon we just got in!


This bouquet is designed with purple stock, lisianthus, and anemones. We even added diamonds into the center of the anemones and also around the stems!

This bout created with stock and lisianthus complimented the bouquet above!

I love orange!

Way excited!

I absolutely am obsessed with these peach David Austin garden roses! Just used them in a wedding this weekend! Wait till I put up those photos!

Hot pink ranunculus with silver shimmer, baronia, and waxflower.

Our crystal wristlet with loads of pinks to match the bout above. We used roses, ranunculus, baronia, and hyacinths.

This wristlet is my favorite! These matched my wedding flowers so anything purple makes me happy! Purple hydrangeas, lisianthus, and stock came together for the perfect combination of purple!

WOOHOO! This was my first attempt at an "Inexpensive" Replica of Kate Middleton's Royal Bouquet! I used white lilac, agapanthus, bouvardia, lily of the valley, and a hint of baby's breath. I never use baby's breath, but it was requested, so I didn't mind adding a hint.

Christina's Wedding on April 30, 2011


I absolutely loved working with these bright colors for Christina's wedding, which took place in Newfield and Buena, NJ. I went to high school with the bride's older brother so it was fun to catch up and see how everyone is doing. The flowers turned out amazing! Check them out!


Her bridal bouquet was designed with orange lilies, Baroness garden roses, lime spider mums, deep purple stock, stephanotis, and lily of the valley. I was fortunate in that my mom-in-law has a huge patch of this stuff and many of my brides got a nice surprise when they realized what that extra little touch was in their bouquets! Most of my brides for a 3 week span got lily of the valley as my gift :) I love adding in little touches to make it special.

A close up of the beautiful lily of the valley blooms.


It was a pleasure working with you! I hope you both have a wonderful and happy life together!

Diana's Wedding in Ocean City last July!

Awesome photos by LoRusso Photography! I highly recommend them and can't wait to work with them again this June! We wrapped the stems of her bouquet with appliques from her bridal gown. It was so pretty!

I love all the bright vivid colors!

Her bouquet was so fun! Bright callas, roses, dahlias, and gerberas with fun pearl and crystal accents!

Jessica and Chris's Wedding on April 30 in Ocean City!

Jessica and Chris's wedding was a blast to create! The colors were awesome and it was a refreshing to work with fun spring flowers, although it was super cold at the beach. These fabulous photos by Laura Perry, an amazing photographer who I highly recommend!


                              
This bouquet is one of my favorites!
Once again I got to use lily of the valley from Mom's garden!
I tucked mini starfish into some of the flowers!

I LOVED her bouquet! Look closely, there are tiny starfish tucked into her flowers! We used ranunculus, roses, lily of the valley, hydrangeas, and even some cornflower to pop amongst all the white.

The girls carried bright springy wildflowers like delphinium, lilacs, garden roses, peonies, tulips, and ranunculus.

                           
This is such a fun beach decor idea! I have done this a couple times before and I still love it! This was one of those things that popped into my mind as something fun and whimsical, but not something people have seen to often. Plus, they will have some fun ornamental grasses for their yard to grow year after year and remind them of the happiest day of their lives!



This wedding was so fun!
                               
The flowers were so fun! Congratulations guys! I wish you the very best for a very happy life together!
