Gearing up for Another Awesome Year!!! Bring It On 2011!

As I write this blog, I realize what an amazing year 2010 was! We had an extremely successful year and created flowers for over 70 weddings! I am constantly reminded that my imagination and passion for what I do has only made me crave more. My husband and I are also raising a gorgeous 15 month old little boy, who I refuse to put in daycare so he is with me 24/7, and I still have been able to accomplish more this year than I ever have. I am truly blessed, as is my business. I have a fabulous team of designers who work so well together, that this has never felt like a job. We love it so much, it's not even work. I'd like to take this opportunity to say Thank You, to all of my brides past and present. You have put your trust in me and it has been my sincere pleasure do to for you, what I truly love to do. I'm overwhelmed by all the support and fabulous reviews that have been left for us. Savannah's Garden was also just chosen as a Best of The Knot 2011 winner as well! So now as we get ready to kick it into high gear, get ready for more blogs, as I will keep it coming!!! Let me finish with some awesome photos from the year...and many more to come!

Caroline and Marc's Wedding on October 23, 2010

Caroline's bouquet was so much fun to make! We used orange, yellow, and fuschia dahlias, Mango callas, plum and lavender cosmos, gold ranunculus, roses, silver brunia, and white cyclamen. To add some bling, we added our signature diamond hair pins tucked into the roses and dahlias.

AWESOME photography by Ray from Crushed Box Photography in Clementon, NJ. He was super nice to work with and very talented! Check him out if you want a photographer who can capture the details. He is super creative!

The bridesmaids carried bouquets of large and small dahlias, Yves Piaget garden roses and orange roses.

I LOVE these colors!

This photo is my favorite!!!

The beautiful bride with her sister Laura, whose wedding flowers I did a few years back.

LOVE the brooch! I have a collection of brooches my brides can choose from, or you can bring us an heirloom one to attach as your something old!

The flowers looked awesome against the pewter dresses!

The reception was at Running Deer Golf Club in Pittsgrove, NJ. These cylinders are their featured centerpiece. We have utilized them a million ways, but this time, just some fresh petals added a soft pop of color to the table. The other half of her tables were tall. Photos below!

I love this look and we do this style for a lot of brides because it offers a high perceived value because it looks huge and expensive, but its extremely economical. We used Yves Piaget garden roses, dahlias, and orchids to create these centerpieces. The colors are super fun! We attached orchids to the curly willow to make the branches feel even taller!

Great view of the Ballroom. We do many weddings there and it feels like we are there every weekend, sometimes more then once a weekend! Thanks so much to Ray for these awesome photos! Congratulations Caroline and Marc! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and create such fun flowers for you and your family again!

Oldie but Goody, Kristin and Michael last March

Kristin is so funny and will say "It's about time!" when she sees this blog! I love becoming friends with my brides after their weddings. Its super cool to see how everyone is years after wards. Kristin and Michael got married March 2009 and they had awesome fun colors and a cool laid back setting. Hydrangeas were the focal flower of her whole day and we used them everywhere. Her guest tables were cubes with only hydrangeas, the pews at the church were decorated with hydrangeas, and all the bouquets had them too! The bouquets had ranunculus, berzillia berries, grape hyacinths, tulips,  roses and sweet peas (of course!). Her color theme was light blue and chocolate so these flowers looked awesome with the chocolate dresses!

Cymbidium orchids make fabulous hair flowers! Love these white ones with pale pink center! Kristin, it was a pleasure doing your wedding and I am so happy that we have been able to stay in touch through the years. I wish you two many, many years of happiness!

Kristen and Ryan on Sepember 11, 2010 at Scotland Run Golf Club

Surprisingly, 9/11/10 was a big wedding day this year. We had 4 weddings! I don't normally take on that much, but once we booked our 3rd, a friend asked me to do her flowers and I couldn't say no. These are photos from one of our 4 brides, Kristen and Ryan. Kristen was awesome to work with and was very open minded and loved these colors. I wanted to keep things seasonal and fun, but add some romantic, old fashioned favorites, like my beloved sweet peas. All of these great photos by Meyers Photography in Williamstown, NJ!

Kristen looks amazing and I swear she looks just like Ivanka Trump!

The girls all carried orange dahlias, Free Spirit roses, lime buttons, buplerum, and purple sweet peas. We added chocolate fiddles and bear grass loops to make things fun!

The men wore Mango mini callas for the ceremony.

I think this is the coolest alternative to a sand ceremony or unity candle. They completely customized the ceremony and made it their own! Love this!

We created two tall cylinders filled with bright oranges, plum, purple and green to go along with the bridesmaids flowers. Such a beautiful day! Congratulations guys! We wish you the very best for a very happy life together!

Anna and Jeff's Wedding at Seaview Dolce in Galloway on October 3, 2010

I just ordered some photos from Anna and Jeff's wedding on October 3. These awesome photos are by Nadine at Love Me Do Photography.  She took amazing shows and caught so many amazing moments! Above is the card table. We placed green dendrobium orchids in between each row of cards.

Her chairs were decorated with peacock feathers, a long stem of green dendrobium orchids and green

 satin ribbon.

The ceremony backdrop was a gorgeous huge bay window that we decorated with vases full of orchids, peacock feathers, and green trick dianthus. These were actually moved to the guest tables after the ceremony. Half of the tables were shorter cylinders with submerged orchids and the other half were taller vases.

What a gorgeous wedding and awesome couple. It was awesome working with you guys! Congratulations to you both!
