A mansion, a summer afternoon and a stranger's garden
― Great Gatsby Photoshoot

He had waited five years and bought a mansion where he dispensed starlight to casual moths - so that he could 'come over' some afternoon to a stranger's garden.” 
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

The Princess and the Promise

This lovely bride planned a fairy tale wedding fit for a Princess and married her Prince Charming on a beautiful Friday in May.  She wanted lush white flowers, cascading greenery, plenty of candlelight and glimmers of gold everywhere.  I loved hearing her tell the story of how she waited for her Prince, and God provided the most perfect man for her.  In fact she said that the man God provided far exceeded all her expectations and was better than anything she could've asked or imagined!!  Now that's a true fairy tale...

Let's Taco 'bout Love

When I first met with sweet bride Rachel and she told me about her vision for a Cinco De Mayo themed wedding, I was so excited about her vision and the prospect of working with her.  When she chose me as her floral designer, I was ecstatic, to say the least!! I had so much fun working with Rachel to design gorgeous table-scapes of ceramic pots and vintage bud vases full of flowers, candles, linens and gauzy table runners.  Her palette was a dream to work with and allowed me to select vibrant and beautiful spring blooms to complement.

Pink Petals and Lace

I know they say "diamonds are a girls best friend" but I think this wedding will prove that pink is definitely a girl's best friend as well!  Sweet bride Sara asked me to design some hanging floral installations for over the guest tables and the ceremony altar.  We covered poles in vines of Jasmine and Italian Ruscus and hung stems of white and pink flowers and pretty ribbons.  Sara and Andrew wrote the sweetest vows and had them framed and sitting on the sign-in table for their guests to read.  I was nearly in tears reading them!

Falling for It

This sweet bride chose the perfect fall palette for her stunning fall wedding.  We contrasted the rich tones of her palette with soft neutrals and plenty of texture.  She wanted full and organic florals.  Her show-stopping bouquet was full and wild.  We created aisle arrangements low to the ground for the illusion that they were growing out of the ground.  The unique arch design was a series of smaller sprays of florals carefully placed amidst fabric that accented the copper arch.  The centerpiece containers were supplied by the venue and we filled them and accented with our loose florals, berries, local dahlias and plenty of greenery!

Niecely Done

This beautiful November wedding took place at the downtown market.  One of my greatest joys in floral design is creating the bride's bouquet and seeing her reaction when she sees it for the first time.  For Julie and Sam's wedding, not only was I privileged to create a bouquet for a wonderfully sweet bride, but I also had the privilege of creating a sweet little bouquet for my precious little niece.  Julie wanted white flowers and plenty of greenery to compliment the beautiful, natural scenery of the downtown market.

It's in Their Nature

Lovely bride Emily chose to incorporate soft tones with punches of strong color into her wedding day florals.  We brought the beauty and bounty of nature inside to the modern event spaces the couple chose.

Just a bit lacey

Stephanie and Tim said their vows under a sprawling old Oak tree with the rolling hills and vineyards of Berrien Springs Michigan behind them.  For their day, we used a bounty of local blooms like cafe au lait dahlias and trailing white clematis with pops of white and black anemones.  Their table-scapes were simple with tall arrangements of greenery and white delphinium and lush garlands of silver dollar eucalyptus.

10 Years and Counting - Our Vow Renewal Celebration

It's never too late to celebrate marriage, because I believe marriage is EPIC!  So when our 10 year anniversary was approaching, my husband and I decided we wanted to throw an intimate little ceremony and celebration and invite our closest friends and family to celebrate with us.  We were able to really put our vows "to have and to hold in sickness and in health" into practice when I fell down the stairs that morning and broke my ankle and leg in 3 places....ouch!  So hyped up on pain meds and sitting in a wheelchair, we stood under the trees and said our vows.  

Venue: The Field by Truer Design (upcoming wedding venue, stay tuned!!)

Beside the Big Blu Barn

On a hot summery day, two hearts were joined as one.  She held a bouquet of beautiful white blooms accented with pops of burgundy.  He wore a crisp navy suit with a little buttonhole of burgundy roses.  They stood beneath the shade of a big oak tree and exchanged their vows and I do''s.  The bees buzzed and the hens clucked while the guests looked on.

Venue: Hydrangea Blu Barn

Beneath the Old Willow Tree

Beneath the old willow tree, beside the still waters of the Lake, Chicago couple, Lindsey and Ritchie said "I do."  They chose European, garden-inspired florals and just about every detail was thoughtfully touched by bits of greenery and soft blooms.  My favorite touches were the whispers of greens surrounding the beautiful arched windows and the ceiling of the ballroom.
