Sometimes there are leftovers and sometimes they end up inside my home in my workspace. It's very rare. My roommate, also known as my boyfriend, is allergic to flowers. Yes, you heard it here. The floral designer's boyfriend is allergic to flowers!
This was the bridal bouquet for this weekend's bride. Well, the raw version before it was wrapped and ready to go. Then the leftovers...
With a new camera comes a new perspective. After much deliberation and struggle between taking a vacation or purchasing a new camera... the new camera won, at least for the moment. The vacation is still being planned.
So with that said you'll begin to notice a new series of posts that are much more personable, fun and maybe occasionally a DIY for those who like to play with flowers. Here's just the beginning... Several pics of an arrangement made with a combination of some wedding left overs and some left from a styled shoot.
Ann Marie looks just amazing in her bridals. I have to admit it drives me a little crazy to know that we have to wait until after the wedding to share the images knowing they are going to be ridiculous, like these. But we waiting and holy madness these were well worth the wait. The venue, Chateau Cocomar, is one the most amazing spaces for the over the top bride who loves something glamorous. All the separate rooms guides itself to different themes and lighting that makes photographing bridals spectacular. Here is what Johnathan Ivy came up with:
A sweet girlfriend of mine popped the question. "Will you do the flowers for my wedding?" That is always quickly responded with a heck yes!! It might be the most fun part of my job. I quickly imagine what kind of bride she will be, what dress she will wear, her style, her colors, what her favorite flowers will be and does all this match with what she likes.
I always wonder if anyone else does this? With a friend, you already know them, their personality, their loves, their fiancé, their home and so many personal details. But a wedding can be so different, the discovery of the meshing of a girlfriend plus their wedding style, just might be the favorite part of my job.
So...She was a hydrangea girl! So classic, so southern and elegant. And on top of this, her fiance's family owns a sweet space off Lake Conroe, just perfect for a weekend affair. Here's what we created:
Sometimes a little lizard comes and hangs out! He was so stinking adorable.
These cuties! I wish you could have seen the excitement on their faces. They loved wearing their floral crowns and were so enthusiastic about the entire wedding. It was so adorable.
I love my job and feel insanely honored that people offer me their trust to create something beautiful for their wedding. Thank you Jessica and Travis for allowing us to be a small part of such a special day.
Stay tuned for the professional pics, where I will include some of the amazing couple!
I've been stocking Burnett's Board for the last year and never imagined some of our work would get picked up for a feature. Sara Burnett has impeccable taste and her relentless promotion of great work from all around the world only humbles us that she choose us.
