Barn weddings feel especially perfect in the autumn! It was such a pleasure designing these yellow, burgundy and cream bouquets with seasonal accents and foliage for a sophisticated wedding at Cobblestone Farm in Ann Arbor.  We wanted these flowers to be light and looking more like a fresh garden feel than a tightly designed feel - love how they go with this gorgeous wedding dress!  Thank you Hilary Nichols Photography for these beautiful images!  

The bride's bouquet featured yellow zinnias, roses and matthiola, chamomile daisies, cream dahlias, and burgundy scabiosa.

So delighted and proud to be included on the Frutig Farms Vendor Love list - what a great group of vendors to be considered with, and looking forward to getting to do more designs at beautiful Misty Farms and The Valley!  Thank you! Thank you Kathy Davies Photography for these lovely images at Misty Farm:

We had a great time on a VERY chilly November night making handtied bouquets in our last BLOOM class.  This spiral technique takes some concentration and some practice, and everyone did a great job - beautiful spirals by the end of the evening, and some lovely orchids, roses, berries, and seasonal foliages to make for a lovely piece to brighten the evening.  Wonderful job everyone, hope to see you again soon!  

Thank you Stevie B. Photography for these beautiful images!

So sweet, so pretty, so sophisticated... just love these gorgeous images from Silver Thumb Photography - love them so much I had to post a few that aren't just about the flowers!  Audrey and Adam's wedding had chic downtown venues - ceremony at Vinology and reception at Zingermans on Fourth, and also had the soft touches and charming details of an intimate, thoughtful celebration.  And Audrey was so stunning in her BHLDN gown and blue shoes!  Such a joy to be a part of this special celebration!  

I am so thrilled to share these images from this beautiful Waldenwoods wedding, captured by truly fantastic Dayna Mae Photography.  This couple was a genuine joy to work with, and it was so special to be a part of their celebration - so much love and joy.  I was so lucky that this couple entrusted me with a bright, colorful palate and we took advantage of all the wonderful seasonal spring blossoms - fuchsia and coral charm peonies, peach parrot tulips, yellow and white freesia.  The bridal bouquet featured ombre styling, moving from fuchsia to coral to orange to peach to yellow to white - loved this joyful pop of color!  

Loved setting up for this warm and gorgeous autumn wedding reception at the Gem Theater in Detroit!  The flower designs here added a natural, textured feel to complement the rich autumnal tones and soft light in the Gem Theater.  The space was full of charm and character, and it was such a pleasure working with this loving family!

Loved all the color and texture in these seasonal centerpieces for a dinner at the University of Michigan President's House  

It's feeling properly autumn!  I loved creating this burgundy bouquet with accents of peach, orange, coral, and ivory for a wedding this past weekend at University of Michigan's Matthaei Botanic Gardens in Ann Arbor.  It was a lovely mix of autumnal flowers, including dahlias, local zinnias and scabiosa.  Lovely textures and foliage - such a pleasure to make this for  wonderful bride!  

Absolutely loved doing the flowers for Angelina and Eric's wedding this summer with the reception at the lovely University of Michigan League Ballroom in Ann Arbor.  For the bride and bridesmaid bouquet, we used yellow and ivory garden roses paired with lush green foliages and textures, including scabiosa pods and fresh herbs - mint and rosemary.  

For the reception, we expanded the color palate and added in burgundy snapdragons and astrantia, more herbs and textures and fresh lemons!  ANd I love the cake from Jefferson Market and Cakery, decorated with succulents!

Truly a pleasure creating for this joyful couple, and you can see just how much fun everyone had in these gorgeous images captured by KNM Portraits.
