This couple brought so much character to their farm-to-table wedding!  Coming from New York City, this couple treated their guests to lots of local Michigan touches - like Zingerman's catering, and even Michigan wine, and the outdoor setting at Misty Farm was a lovely touch of the midwest at it's best!  Teamed up with some NYC glamour (love the individualized blush bridesmaids dresses!) and a gorgeous couple - what a memorable celebration, all captured beautifully by Amy Carroll Photography.  

It's so wonderful to receive these images from a gorgeous wedding at Cottonwood Barn in Dexter.  It was such a pleasure working with this bride and her vision for a lovely but not too traditional mix of autumnal colors and textures in her wedding flowers.  We used a mix of burgundy cymbidium orchids, orange pincushion protea, mango and plum calla lilies, yellow chrysanthemums, and a mix of textured foliages to create a seasonal look with texture and warmth.  Photo credit to Emily Alt, Watassa Wedding Photography for these lovely images!

 

It is truly humbling to hear that Red Poppy has been named a WeddingWire Couple's Choice Award Winner for 2015.  WeddingWire gives this distinction to the top 5% of wedding professionals based on client reviews, which is why this means so much.  Thank you to the wonderful couples who have entrusted me with the flowers on their wedding day, and thank you for taking the time to review Red Poppy - it really means so much to us that you loved your flowers!

Thank you!

Happy New Year! So looking forward to 2015, and also loving getting in gorgeous photos from 2014 weddings - it's a great way to start things off with beautiful flowers - or at least memories - while everything is covered in snow!  

Loved working with this delightful couple and their gorgeous autumn wedding at Misty Farm!  For the bride's bouquet, we went with a mix of tones that for a seasonal look that was subtle - not such a traditional take on autumn, but still a classic garden-style design.  I'm so pleased with the result (and so pleased the bride loved it!), something sophisticated and stylish but also natural and relaxed.  The bouquet includes peachy-orange free spirit roses, pink fado roses, burgundy scabiosa, cream majolica spray roses, burgundy astrantia, and peach campanella roses together with a mix of textured foliage.  Thank you Kelly Braman for the beautiful image!  

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!
