Kristy and Chris's Gorgeous Cherry Blossom Wedding at Elkins Estate!

Kristy's bouquet turned out amazing! We used Yves Piaget garden roses, peonies, hydrangeas, stephanotis with crystal centers, and phaelenopsis orchids. We finished the look with vintage lace and it lookes awesome. Check out these fabulous photos by Susan Stripling!



The groom wore a white orchid, the groomsmen wore hot pink ranunculus, and all the other men wore a champagne Sahara rose.



I just thought this looked so cool!


We decorated the ceremony space with loads of pink and white flowers. This piece was displayed above the couple during the ceremony and was designed with baronia, garden roses, peonies, cherry blossoms, and hydrangeas.

These silver urns sat at the base of the stairs below the ceremony site.





LOVE this!

These flowers were in remembrance of someone who was there in spirit.


The bridesmaids flowers turned out gorgeous!

I had to add this! I had a horse-drawn carriage for my wedding, and it was my favorite part of my wedding!

The ceremony and reception took place at Elkins Estate in Philadelphia. This place is breathtaking!


Absolutely a gorgeous place to get married!




All of the chairs were adorned with tulle, accented with hydrangeas and Yves Piaget garden roses.






I LOVE how these turned out! This has become a very popular centerpiece option  for brides who don't want a traditional round arrangement on a tall stand. This is much more natural and organic feeling. We let the cherry branches reach where they wanted to.






Their card table was decorated with our manzanita branches ( available for rent) along with loads of flowers, like ranunculus, orchids, and hydrangeas.

It was such a fabulous pleasure working with you guys and I am so happy you loved everything! Congratulations!

Carlye's Gorgeous PINK wedding at Running Deer Golf Club!

Carlye's wedding was a blast! We love going to Running Deer Golf Club and this bride knew how to make the place look amazing!!! We used vibrant hot pink flowers everywhere! Check out these awesome photos by the super talented T.Alimariowww.alimariophoto.com Photography!

This is one of my favorite weddings from the spring and I am so excited to show off these pictures!

We used hot pink gerberas, Mimi Eden spray roses, ranunculus, and delphinium. We tucked diamond pins into the flowers and also added a  line of crystal pins to her bouquet handle.

I absolutely love the contrast of these blue dresses with the hot pink!

Totally gorgeous!


The mother of the bride wore a crystal wrist corsage with ivory spray roses and mini orchids for a classy, but neutral floral accent.
Hot pink Explorer gerbera daisies lined the chairs with navy ribbon.

We added 2 huge urns filled with gerberas, snapdragons, anemones, and delphinium to the sides of the purgola's entrance. Then we created a top piece that would be able to come indoors after the ceremony. We finished the look with hanging crystals. LOVE this photo!!!

This gorgeous couple look stunning!

We decorated the cocktail high tops with these little bottles. Super cute.


The cake was gorgeous with these garden roses, gerberas, and sweet peas.
The flowers from the purgola were brought inside after the ceremony and decorated the space behind the sweetheart table.

So vibrant and gorgeous! Perfect for a spring wedding!

The centerpieces were designed in the venue's supplied cylinder vases. We simply dressed them up with floating hot pink rose petals, and a floating candle. The colors were perfect to tie in their pink donation board for breast cancer!

Spring Fling PART THREE with Laura Leigh Photo!

So this is the final unveiling of awesome photos from our spring photo shoot with Laura Leigh Photo. It was so hard to choose photos because Laura took so many great ones! We wanted to create some ceremony backdrops that might be fun for an outdoor wedding. All of the backdrops are in my in-law's amazing yard!
We built this cool canopy from branches that were lying around in the area and then draped fresh lilacs to add some color. I love chandeliers, so we added one of my white one. I have 3 of these that are available to rent!
I love adding different elements like the vintage chair and the dried cotton blooms.
So very vintage, down to the heirloom Bible.
I love the hanging bottles filled with delicate sweet peas, and aqua mercury glass.
It's amazing what kind of personal touches you can add to a ceremony space to really make it your own! Make it fun!
This photo makes me happy :)
We rent these amazing vintage doors for ceremonies! We have one wedding at a winery this fall and another on the beach later this year! These doors will look so cool! Notice the vintage light hanging? I retrieved this from my best friend who took it from a home they just purchased.
We can dress them up fancy...
Or just let them have the spotlight!
Didn't I tell you the property was amazing? Yes, there is a creek leading to a lake, and this super cool suspended dock in the middle of the creek. We took full advantage of dressing that up too!
Love it!
So happy this shoot turned out so cool! A HUGE thank you to my family, my two sister-in-laws for being models for the day, and the amazing Laura Perry from Laura Leigh Photo, for taking the time out of her busy schedule to come see us in Pittsgrove and take some beautiful photos!!! Now, who should we submit them to???

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

The day couldn't have been more gorgeous for a fun photo shoot at the creek! This is a collection of some photos from Laura Leigh Photo for a aqua and white color palate. I LOVE the water in the background! It is truly as heavenly as it looks!
We used burlap tables runner and my tree slice flower stands to add in a brown tone. I then added gorgeous aqua bottles and blue Dutch hydrangeas to add in some soft but bold blues.
ALL of the items here are available for rent! The bottles are awesome for all those pool, aqua, and tiffany blue weddings! I have loads of different mercury vessels that are great for centerpieces, or accenting pieces like a place card table or around the wedding cake. The tree slice stands are hugely popular and we use them for flowers and candles. They make a fabulous rustic accent for any table!
I am so obsessed with these aqua bottles! My bedroom walls are the same color!
I love the mix of vintage glass with the rustic bark, and soft blue fluffy hydrangeas.
The colors are so soft, but also eye-catching! These would look great with a lime, pink, yellow, or even red flowers!
We toyed with having dinner here...I think it's a perfect place for a "renewing of the vows" celebration!
My beautiful sister-in-law was gracious enough to model for our shoot. See the PART THREE blog for introduction of our second model, my second sister-in-law, and also a Melissa!
Totally want to have a party now!!!!!!!!!!! A HUGE thank you to Laura for taking such fabulous photos as always!
