Kristin and Robert's Fall Vintage Wedding at Running Deer Golf Club

Kristin and Robert's wedding was one of my favorite weddings this fall! We used loads of garden roses, cosmos, and dahlias. I loved the colors! We used peach, mocha, and dark brown to compliment the fur accented bridesmaids dresses.

Black Baccara roses, Coffee Break roses, amaranthus, hydrangeas, angel vine, privet, dahlias, and chocolate cosmos make such a gorgeous fall combo!

Robert surprised Kristin with this beautiful diamond cameo that she wouldn't see until moments before the wedding!

LOVE the fur!

Kristin looked amazing!


The bridesmaid above was one of my brides about 4 years ago!

I am in love with these David Austin garden roses!


We tied green antique hydrangeas to the chairs with this pretty lace ribbon.

I love this stuff! I always push my brides to use this type of hydrangea because it holds it's place and never droops! And it's perfect for drying!



The ceremony took place as a freak snowstorm approached!

The bride's baby sister was adorable!


We decorated Running Deer's indoor arbor with curly willow and balls of flowers to match the bouquets. Then we had two arrangements on each side to compliment the flowers.




This is my grade school friend Rebecca! You will hear about her a lot...she owns and operates the ever beautiful Wing and Willow! Check out her gorgeous thumbprint tree below! She came up with this concept long before it was all over the wedding blogs! She is so creative and great to work with!

Love the vintage feel photos! Check out Demi from DB Photography! She is so easy to work with and totally talented!

The guys wore a chocolate cosmo with a sprig of antique hydrangea, along with an acorn and wheat to accent!


Robert had lace with white hypericum berries, acorns, hydrangeas, and wheat.


I LOVE this invitation!

All the place "cards" were these skeleton keys with a small tag :)

Kristin used a family chandelier that her father hung on the arbor for the ceremony, and then to accent behind the cake.

Oh, and the cake was one of the most gorgeous details of the entire day! Kristin works at The Sweet Life Bakery, so this cake was extra special!

Simply amazing! Jill and Stephen always do an amazing job!

Their beautiful thumbprint tree from Wing and Willow! I actually have a smaller version of this tree in my shop on display for all my brides to see!

The centerpieces were really fun! We filled fresh white pumpkins with all the same flowers as the bouquets.

All the pumpkins sat on tree trunks and we accented them with acorns.

The card table looked super cool with all the keys.


How cool is this?


Congratulations guys!

I am so happy to have been part of this beautiful day! May your marriage be blessed! Love this snow shot!

Dana and Tripp's Wedding at Ram's Head Inn

I am so excited to show off these photos from Dana and Tripp's wedding at Ram's Head Inn in Galloway, NJ. These gorgeous photos are by the fabulous Laura from LuRey Phoography.


The bouquets were created with all soft champagne, creams, and peaches. We used a nest of angel vine as the base and used dahlias, roses, lisianthus, hydrangeas, and ivy.





I want a pair of these!!!! These are like candy!




I love the chandeliers and exposed beams. The room is gorgeous for a ceremony!


We created a garland of greenery and hung it with champagne satin ribbon.






These place card tags are so pretty! I really love how brides are becoming so creative and really making the details so personal and intricate.



The cake turned out so pretty! I used orchids, roses, snowberries, and waxflowers.

The table numbers were so fun and vintage!

We filled these urns with hydrangeas, dahlias, roses, and more ivy and angel vine.




Congratulations to you both! It was a pleasure working with you and I'm so happy you guys loved everything!

Ashley and Justin's Fabulous Vintage Wedding at John James Audubon Center at Mill Grove

I loved working with Ashley right away! She and her fiance Justin went with a vintage themed wedding with a deep plum, purple, blue, and silver palate. Check these AMAZING photos by the fabulous Lauren Fair Photography!

The colors looked amazing with the dresses!

I am so in love with everything about these colors!

Ashley looked gorgeous and I love how she is totally glowing in all these photos!

Her bouquet was one of my favorite ever! I used fluffy champagne Cafe Au Lait dahlias, white ranunculus, and white roses.

The bridesmaids flowers were beyond gorgeous! We used burgundy dahlias, English lavender, silver brunia, pink Davaid Austin garden roses, blue hydrangeas, pink ranunculus, and antique green hydrangeas from Holland.

Justin wore white ranunculus, LOVE these!

The men wore dark plum ranunculus blooms.

Super fun! I love the props!

The ceremony was super simple and intimate. We had green antique hydrangeas down the aisle and arrangements on the altar to match the bridesmaids flowers. I always suggest trying to re-use the flowers and bring them to the reception.

Their decor was gorgeous and super vintage! Check out the skeleton keys on the old door! So awesome how I have a load of these doors sitting in my attic (of our 1800's Victorian where I also have my flower shop!) And I am OBSESSED with the strings of lights hung from the beams. Every detail was perfect!

Check out how the bridesmaids bouquets were placed in aqua mason jars and set in front of the fireplace! Notice the altar flowers decorating each side of the gorgeous stone fireplace.

Her cocktail tables all had a vintage jar in shades of green or blue with a single stem of dahlia or hydrangea.

The tables turned out beautiful! The aqua mason jars were filled with dahlias, hydrangeas, ranunculus, silver brunia, garden roses, and curly willow.

I love the aqua mason jars. They are so pretty!

We accented the cake with groupings of fresh hydrangeas.


LOVE IT!

I love old stone buildings. What a beautiful backdrop!

Congratulations to you both! It was an absolute pleasure!
