Everything about these wedding photos makes me smile.  A truly lovely couple, stunning images by Nicole Haley Photography, peonies at the peak of their season, and a day spent in some of my favorite places in Ann Arbor - the peony garden and the University of Michigan Muesum of Art.  Did I mention these images are stunning?  Wow!  I feel so lucky to have been a part of this couple's beautiful, joyful day!

The wedding flowers featured classes white peony bouquets for the ladies and white ranunculus boutonnieres for the gents.  These stunning peonies were sourced locally from Bridgewater Gardens.

It was a beautiful day for photos at the law school quad and outside UMMA...

For the reception, each rectangular table had two arrangements of white hydrangea in rectangular matte grey vases creating an elegant, sophisticated look.

And a sweet arrangement for the sweetheart table...

Summer blooms!   This summer bouquet of peach mathiola, ivory spray roses, white ranunculus, chamomile daisies and yellow solidago just makes me feel so summery!  

I'm so excited to share these photos from a spring wedding at the Gandy Dancer, captured by wonderful Yana Benjamin.  The wedding colors were yellow and burgundy, with hints of other seasonal colors in the bridesmaids' bouquets.  I loved how the burgundy ranunculus added depth and texture to the rest of the spring palette:

The bride's bouquet featured yellow garden roses, burgundy ranunculus, alchemilla mollis, peach juliet garden roses, yellow freesia and dusty miller.  The bridesmaids included coral charm peonies, peach parrot tulips, and peach and yellow garden roses along with dusty miller.

Yana Benjamin captured some beautiful photos in the Arb!

I wanted to share a few little pieces from this past weekend's weddings... sometimes it's the small details that can be exciting and memorable.  I'm still thinking about these days later...  

For this outdoor wedding at the groom's parents' farm in Saline, the boutonniere had a touch of rustic and wildflower with yellow craspedia and delicate blue nigella.  I just love the soft, spindly parts of the nigella.

And for this gorgeous bride with a wedding at Matthaei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor, this petite haircomb with a stunning white ranunculus and yellow craspedia was so glamorous next to her birdcage veil.

It was such a pleasure to contribute the flowers for a retirement party by Katherine's Catering (their espresso sea salt brownies are INCREDIBLE!).  I love this gold footed vase filled with magenta dahlias, purple clematis, kangaroo paw, trick dianthus...  Congratulations and happy retirement!

These shiny sleek vases and shiny red anthurium feel like a car!  Or at least I thought so...  Loved doing these arrangements a Porsche launch, can't wait for the pro photos and just wanted to share my quick preview.  

It was such a pleasure working with Luna Soiree on this event, and to highlight the Porsche colors, we used these awesome shiny black and silver vases, filled with yellow pincushion proteas, oncidium orchids, and tulips, together with shiny red anthurium and red mokara orchids.

Just a few sneak peaks from this spring wedding at the Gandy Dancer - so excited for all the spring colors.  These are just my quickie snaps - can't wait for the gorgeous pro photos!  

I've been dying to share these photos...  and I can now that our feature in Emmaline Bride is out!  It was such fun doing this styled shoot with All About You Productions, Stevie B. Photography, and Ellibell Creative - it's such a a privilege to work with these creative ladies!

The bouquet and table centerpieces featured peach garden roses, yellow freesia, purple coolwater roses, alchemilla mollis, geranium foliage, raspberry gomphrena

Happy Mother's Day!  It's such a privilege to create flowers to honor the special women in our lives - I hope you all had a wonderful day!

I totally love my Red Poppy logo, so when the CrowdSPRING folks who helped me find my perfect logo (it was love at first sight!) asked to do a blog about my experience, I was so happy to share!  Here's the feature - thank you, CrowdSPRING!
