Featured on the Rustic Wedding Chic Blog!!!

This wedding is near and dear to my heart, because it was our family's most recent wedding. My brother in law and new sister in law were married in April 2011, and they had one of the most gorgeous weddings that I ever got to set up. I was so excited when they chose Laura Leigh Photo, because I have been working with her for years, and she is amazing! She submitted their wedding to the Rustic Wedding Chic Blogand they featured it!!! Check out this Link! The cake was by the super talented Darren from The Cake Studio in Ocean City, NJ. Check out some of these awesome photos! I love how they mentioned our church pews ;)

Kristin's Fall Sunflower Wedding at Running Deer Golf Club

Kristin loved the bouquet from my sister-in-law's barn wedding, so we did a very similar bouquet with loads of textures, bright sunflowers, and champagne Sahara roses.

She also added a fun crocheted sleeve for her bouquet, which we custom design, with your choice of buttons.

The bridesmaids had bouquets of sunflowers, ranunculus, amaranthus, crespedia balls, and curly willow loops. The bridesmaids had a chocolate crocheted sleeve for their bouquets. Kristin bought the buttons and each of the girls, and herself, had a different button pattern.

LOVE these bright sunflower bouquets!

The maid of honor had a taupe crocheted sleeve for her bouquet.

The ceremony and reception took place at the beautiful Running Deer Golf Club, in Pittsgrove, NJ. We decorated the purgola with a garland of sunflowers, hanging lanterns, and the aisle with sheppards hooks holding mason jars filled with more sunflowers. Rose petals down the aisle finished the look.

I love the draping amaranthus for a wispy feel!

I loved these centerpieces! We put a sprig of fern on every place setting, and had sunflowers on every table. Kristin rented some of my shabby chic grey lantern. We added a burlap square at the base of all of her tables.

Kristin used our bark flower pedestals and also rented these fun metal vases. We added more sunflowers and amber votives for extra warmth to the theme. Her moss table numbers were so pretty!

Another accent we added were our birch tealight holders, which looked so good with the burlap and brown linens.

These birch tealight holders are also available for rent!

Loved the fern with these little cards.

This adorable cake was from the awesome Sweet Life Bakery in Vineland. Kristin also rented our thick tree slab for under the cake too.

I thought this was absolutely adorable!!! Congratulations to you both! So happy that you were thrilled!

Looking Back at Nicole's Sunflower Wedding at The Flander's Hotel in Ocean City! One Year Later!

I had so much fun working on this wedding with Nicole. She loved Van Gogh and loved sunflowers, so naturally this was so much fun, since I love Van Gogh (but mostly I'm a Monet freak). I also got to work with the very sweet and talented Roslyn from Blue Eyes Photography! She caught some awesome photos of these fun flowers! The bridesmaids carried solid sunflowers, while the Maid of Honor carried these pretty yellow freesia blooms to compliment the sunflowers. We finished it with navy ribbon, an ivory satin criss cross, and bright yellow pins.

Nicole carried a bouquet of white mini callas with a gorgeous collar of bright yellow freesias.

She made such a gorgeous bride, and she was so happy with her flowers!

So fun!

The ceremony took place in The Garden Ballroom at The Flander's Hotel in Ocean City. We visit here pretty frequently, and we love working there! Any wedding near the beach is like a day off for me!

We created two tall vases filled with curly willow, sunflowers, ruscus, and yellow oncidium orchids. Amber votives created warmth and we did a long aisle of bright gold rose petals.

I really love how happy it turned out!

These gold petals really created a nice presence. So much more dramatic than ivory or white.

Van Gogh's "Starry Night" was her inspiration for the theme.

The centerpieces were created with sunflowers, viking mums, hydrangeas, curly willow, and oncidium orchids.

The cake also had fresh flowers.

It was so much fun working with Nicole and we wish her all the happiness in the world as she approaches her ONE YEAR anniversary! Congratulations!

Amanda and Jason's Fall Wedding!

I am obsessed with this bouquet! I love mixing textures and creating something different that you don't always see. Amanda loved sunflowers but I knew adding other fall flowers with them would look awesome! She loved my sister in law's spring sunflower wedding and wanted something similar to her bouquet, but with some fall colors. I think I nailed it!

The guys all wore gold viking mums, which look like mini sunflowers, and the girls all carried sunflowers. The two maids of honor had more texture like Amanda's bouquet, so they reflected her flowers.

LOVE this photo! I used 2 shades of sunflowers, curly willow, dianthus green trick, green centered ranunculus, seeded eucalyptis, hanging amaranthus, lady's mantle, and crespedia. It turned out so pretty! So happy that she was thrilled!
