Dana's Pretty Plumeria Pewter and Yellow Wedding!

Dana's flowers were gorgeous! We got fresh plumeria from Hawaii, and Dana was so excited! Originally we were just using phaeleonopsis orchids, but I was able to get her first choice, plumeria! They smell delicious!

Her bouquet had white mini callas, stephanotis, and gorgeous plumeria blooms.

This bouquet smelled amazing!

The girls wore pewter dresses so we added dress fabric around their stems.

They carried bright yellow calla lilies and more plumeria blooms! I can't wait to see the professional photos!

Sneak Peak at Angela and Kevin's wedding on May 21, 2011

I loved working with Angela, she was so fun to work with and so easy going, it made my job effortless. I have to say I have no idea who their photographer was (it was a friend of the couple, who by the way did an AMAZING job taking these photos!), but Angela said I could blog these and I am so excited to share some of these gorgeous photos! Her and Kevin's wedding was by far one of my favorite, maybe the most favorite, when it came to colors, textures, and the variety of flowers I could use. I felt like a little kid for this wedding!

The ceremony took place at an adorable little catholic church in Mullica Hill.

The flowers looked gorgeous! I used Coral Charm peonies, pink peonies, pink and peach garden roses, hydrangeas, and loads of other flowers!


I LOVE the colors of all the flowers with the champagne dresses!

The reception took place at Running Deer Golf Club, and this is their awesome purgola, which we decorate for all of their outside weddings!

The room looked breathtaking! I went crazy with the flowers! Check out my previous blog of all her flowers! Can't wait to post the rest!

Lauren's Wedding on July 15, 2011

I can't wait to see the professional photos from Lauren's wedding, but wanted to post a few of her bouquet! I loved her bouquet. It was simple, clean, and totally my style! We used white hydrangeas, lavender sweet peas, Purple Haze roses, and white Patience garden roses. It was so fragrant and romantic!

Lauren did something so cool! She took lace from her mom's wedding gown, and we wrapped her stems with the lace. It was so pretty and such a great way to add something memorable!

We also tied on Lauren's grandmother's gold ring to her bouquet, so she had two "Something Old"pieces in her bouquet!

Laura's Wedding at Running Deer on July 17, 2011

I had a blast doing Laura's Sunday morning wedding at Running Deer Golf Club. Laura's cake was decorated with loads of ranunculus, green hypericum berries, green trick, and prince's feather.

It's a good thing I have 5 years under my belt as a cake decorator. One of the things you will learn very well is how to save cakes that are almost destroyed and make them so pretty, no one knows how they looked before. This cake had an accident. We don't know who the baker was, or why they left the cake in an unmarked box, and on the floor. Who does that? So the girls at Running Deer asked if I could fix it, and I knew I could no problem. So I put the tiers back together, and covered all the seams and then added flowers where the icing had been destroyed. I was sooo happy with the final product, and so were Heather and Tara at Running Deer, and so was the bride and her parents! It was a good day :)

Her centerpieces were super cute! We added curly willow tips into clear rectangle vases, then loaded it with seasonal flowers. This is another one of my "bright wildflower weddings". I love them! I used hydrangeas, lisianthus, garden roses, ageratum, freesia, zinnias, ranunculus, and loads of other flowers. The day turned out gorgeous! The professional photos will be posted on my blog soon!

Samantha and Dave Part 2

I wanted to share some of my photos from Dave and Samantha's wedding at Running Deer Golf Club in July. I just blogged her wedding two blogs back, and her vintage library themed wedding turned out beautiful! This is one of my favorite photos of the day. My baby is the sweetest thing in the entire world. I love when he helps me! He is the best part of my job!

The cake was from The Sweet Life Bakery and it was adorned with gorgeous wildflowers!

Her tables were so much fun!

Each stack of books was a different group of colors.

So pretty!

Chris and Nicole's Wedding on June 3, 2011 at Valleybrook Country Club

Nicole's flowers were so much fun! Check out these photos from Artwork Photography in Mt. Laurel, NJ.



The girls carried these awesome bouquets of bright roses, gerbera daisies, and vanda orchids.
               

 

The ceremony and reception were held at Valleybrook Country Club in Blackwood, NJ.

The card table was decorated with wheat grass with gerbera daisies tucked around the guest place cards.


The colors look awesome in front of the bright aqua dresses.

The cake was super simple and had gerberas just on the top tier.

Samantha and Dave's Wedding on July 2, 2011 at Running Deer Golf Club!

 I had a blast working on Dave and Samantha's wedding! They did a vintage library theme and collected loads of books from yard sales and thrift stores. We stuck with primarily yellow and white and added pops of pink to the flowers. The ceremony and reception were both held at Running Deer Golf Club, in Pittsgrove, one of our favorite venues. Love the place and have been doing weddings since 2004! Check out these AMAZING photos by Love Me Do Photography, from Philadelphia! They are fabulous and do great, great work! So to waste no time, here are the photos Samantha emailed me yesterday!


Her flowers were so fun. We used ranunculus, crespedia, veronica, buplerum, dahlias, roses, and orchids. They turned out awesome!

This is my standard wrap for my brides if they are curious, silky double faced satin with a line of pearl (or crystal) pins.

The girls looked gorgeous with their pretty garden bouquets!

These are my favorite style: romantic, soft, and NATURAL!

She looked so beautiful! And she was such a happy and calm bride!

Love this shot!

The groom wore crespedia, which we call "billy balls". Not sure where that name came from.

I absolutely love this look! So nice to do something different from the heavy tuxes! These guys looked so comfortable!

My favorite part of every wedding!

I forget how many, but I hung all of these lanterns, while a happy 21 month old little boy squealed in joy below :)

So whimsical!

It was a gorgeous day for an outdoor ceremony! Running Deer has a great set up!



The place cards were those original, old school library cards! SO SO COOL!


The tables were so romantic and elegant. We stacked all the vintage books Samantha and  her mom collected by color, then added 3 tiny vases around the books. Some vases were clear and others were a pale amber ( to the right). We added mini spray roses, ranunculus, buplerum, queen anne's lace, and saponaria.

The cake was perfect!

Jill and Stephen from The Sweet Life Bakery always do a fabulous job! We used ranunculus, lady's mantle, and saponaria around the cake!

It was so fun working with you guys! I loved every moment! Thank you for the opportunity to help make your day so beautiful and memorable! Many blessings!
