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!

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

I had the opportunity to work with one of my favorite photographers this April for a super fun spring photo shoot. I have have been working with Laura from Laura Leigh Photo for a few years and every wedding we do together turns out gorgeous on her blog! She is a truly talented and amazing photographer! We chose the setting at my in-law's residence in Pittsgrove, NJ. I always tell my husband how lucky he was to grow up in such a serene, secluded, and natural atmosphere. They live less than a mile from Parvin State Park and there is a beautiful creek behind their property. We took a few hours on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon and set up a bunch of backdrops. Enjoy Part One of Three! I'd love to give credit to our fabulous models...my two sister-in-laws, Melissa and Melissa!
I wanted this bouquet to be romantic and earthy, so I picked some natural elements like cotton blooms. I used Romantik Antike garden roses, white and pink peonies, pink sweet peas, and Ilse spray roses. I added some bling with some of my champagne jewels and gold metallic skeleton leaves. Then my sister-in-law crocheted this ivory sleeve with custom buttons! We now offer these as an option in any color and button style for bridal and bridesmaids bouquets.
I love the fresh pinks against this mocha lacy dress and cowgirl boots!
Our tablescape featured burlap, bark, and cotton elements. It turned out so pretty. Tell me this isn't a dream location for a wedding ceremony!
I filled mercury vases with more Romantik Antike garden roses, and featured my new purple bottles filled with hydrangeas and cotton blooms.
It is simply a gorgeous location!
I love the look of a floating rose in this vintage faux fountain! I have some of these in my boutique for sale!!
This is such a fun photo with the reflection of the bouquet! I adored these flowers and the pictures turned out completely amazing! I am so excited to feature PART TWO and PART THREE! I think everyone will like what they see! A HUGE thank you to Laura and Shawn for spending the day with us and letting us meet precious Leah! She is absolutely adorable and we wish you guys so many happy times together!

One of Our Weddings is Featured in Florist's Review Magazine!

Every year we submit a wedding or two to Florist's Review Magazine's Picture Perfect Wedding Contest. This year, we were slammed with weddings so I only submitted one wedding, but I was so happy to see some photos were published! Here are some gorgeous photos by Lauren Fair Photography that I am very happy to show off! This wedding has been a huge hit with new brides coming in to look to book their upcoming wedding. Check them out!

I love these bouquets! The bridesmaid bouquet to the right was featured.

Everyone looks gorgeous!

I am so in love with these Cafe Au Lait dahlias. I can't wait to have my own garden full of them :)


I loved all the vintage touches to their wedding! I am seeing a lot with the skeleton keys.

Her cocktail hightops had these adorable jars filled with random blooms.

Her centerpieces were absolutely adorable! The photo to the right was featured in the contest :)

The reception took place at the gorgeous John Jay Audubon Center in Gulph Mills, Pa.

Such an amazing photo that I had to post it again!

Lindsay and Andrew's Wedding at Scotland Run!

Lindsay and Andrew were married last October at Scotland Run Golf Club. Her wedding bouquet was like my absolute dream bouquet, because her main flower was hydrangea, and I am a bit obsessed with hydrangeas! Enjoy these beautiful photos by Duca Photography!

Lindsay carried green antique and purple hydrangeas, along with lavender sweet peas, and white stephanotis. The bridesmaids carried green antique hydrangeas, white ranunculus, lavender sweet peas, and queen anne's lace.

I love these purple dresses with the green flowers!


This allows you to see the crystal wristlets, hydrangea boutounnieres, and all the bouquets. LOVE!

Andrew wore green antique hydrangea blooms, with a hint of purple limonium, and a white stephanotis bloom. This hydrangea makes a FABULOUS bout. because it will never droop and dries in this shape. It's amazing stuff!

I think her bouquet complimented the dress beautifully!

The purple and green ceremony urns were created with hydrangeas, stock, larkspur, roses, snapdragons, and liatris.

We had green antique hydrangeas on the chairs with a warm lavender Fresco satin.


Such a fabulous couple!

Their centerpieces were placed on top of Scotland Run's silver flower stands. We created them with roses, hydrangeas, stock, orchids, and curly willow

The sweet heart table was decorated with all the bouquets and also the ceremony flowers. I always suggest using your flowers for the entire event if possible. This is a great way to add extra color to the room.

Congratulations to you both! It was our pleasure!

Ashtin's Beautiful Fall Wedding at Avalon Golf Club!

Ashtin and Adam's wedding took place last November down in Cape May and Avalon Golf Club. It was a gorgeous weekend for a wedding! I loved her rich brown hued dresses with the flowers to pop in front. We used Black Bacarra roses, brown gerberas, Mango mini callas, orange Circus roses, chocolate cosmos, fiddles, and hypericum berries. They turned out so pretty!

The men wore Mango mini callas and Adam wore a brown cymbidium orchid.

I love these dresses!

Ashtin had a hint of some blingy crystal pins tucked into her Black Bacarra roses. Tell me that flower girl isn't adorable!

Congratulations again guys! Ashtin, it's been so great getting to know you and I look forward to working with you in the future!
