bridesmaid bouquets of lavender roses + freesia + thistle + anemones + fern curls + scented geranium foliage wrapped in rustic burlap. these babies smelled AMAZING....

look at those amazing white peonies.... six stems is all it took to make ruthie's fragrant bridal bouquet wrapped in lace....

rustic wooden boxes filled with fresh blooms in lavender + blue hues. we used stock + roses + hyacinth + thistle + scabiosa + delphinium to create the look....

fresh herbs + african violets in wooden boxes wrapped in lace accented the cocktail tables...

we created a fun backdrop for the cake table.... vintage print fabric in lavender tones + lace streamers + fabric and lace stretched over cross stitch frames.....

we set up a prosecco station to greet guests as they arrived. fresh blueberries + blackberries garnished the much needed drinks on this 100 degree summer day....

lace linen.... one of the first loves of my life. Ruthie swooned over this linen too...

the cedars is such a great venue! the simple, clean space inside, the large outdoor space, and the classic covered porches make for a perfect setting for a southern wedding....

LAUREN + WALT : PROVIDENCE HILL FARM

Providence Hill Farm is such a dream venue for a wedding! It is a stunning equestrian center and home to some very lucky horses. The landscape is so gorgeous and wholesome! Here are a few details from the wedding that we were so thrilled to be a part of on March 6th.

For Lauren and Walt's wedding, we created a European inspired look with pretty little vintage details. We choose a cream tone on tone color palette for all of the bouquets and floral arrangements. White washed containers, lace, and feathers were seen throughout all of the florals that evening. The bridal bouquet included blooms such as white roses, white mini calla lilies, white ranunculus, and white dahlias. The bouquet was wrapped in a cream ribbon with lace treatment. To complete the vintage look, we pinned Lauren's family heirloom cameo earrings to the stems of the bouquet. The bridesmaids' bouquets included white roses, balsa wood flowers, creamy ranunculus and white ostrich feathers.

For the ceremony, we brought in an antique fireplace mantle that was splashed with romantic candle treatment and white picture frames that featured pictures of crosses. For the entrance, we wanted to wow the guests, so we created this shabby chic tree complete hydrangea balls and hundreds of crystals that stood on two vintage suitcases. We added white blooms at the base to add a fuller effect, candle light to illuminate the tree, and apothecary jars with floating white blooms.

It was absolutely breathtaking coming through the doors to Providence Hill Farm. There were over 500 guests at the ceremony and the reception and there could not have been a better venue. Lauren looked absolutely beautiful with her designer gown and bouquet in hand!

Here are some of our favorite detail photos from the wedding:

ANNA + WALTER : SMALL TOWN MISSISSIPPI

The second Anna walked into my studio we had an instant connection. Don't you just love when that happens? We were so excited to have found each other! Our creative energy and the excitement level in our first meeting was amazing! I couldn't wait to start working with her. This do-it-yourself Bride was on a budget, but with her creativity and my talent, it wasn't a problem. We created an amazing wedding filled with beautiful flowers and unique, personal details. Anna even did her own calligraphy!! I was so impressed with all of her ideas and her hard work. It really paid off! Here are a few of my favorite pictures taken by her wonderfully talented photographer Erin Fults.

I love this shot of her by the vintage car..... so classic!

Anna's bridal bouquet included natural elements such as wooden flowers and feathers.

The little marigold boutonnieres smelled SO good!

Each Bridesmaid carried a different tangerine toned bouquet. We used tulips, marigolds, roses, and orange nora orchids. Each bouquet was accented with feathers.

With the help of Tulip's bud vases, the Bride created her own feather centerpieces.

That's me with my lovely Bride!

Congratulations to my beautiful Bride and Groom, Anna and Walter!!
