***This post is for my clients, friends, and family to see the work that I’ve done for my most recent couple.

Thank you for understanding, and please enjoy the details!!***
Since I already wrote a full blog for friends and family of the bride and groom, I’m going to limit myself to minimal commentary about the day. BUT, since I made the personal florals myself [all bouquets and boutonnieres], I wanted to make sure that they, along with a few other amazing details, made it up onto the blog! Plus, I took a few pretty good pics. I love it when I get lucky with the camera!!
I am a SUCKER for fresh-stem bouts. I whipped these up for the guys and saved a peony and two mini callas for the groom’s bout. Since it’s tradition to have the groom’s flower look like it was plucked from the bride’s bouquet and given to the bride, I wrapped them in the same color of fabric [light silver grey]. Love it!
The bride’s bouquet turned out gorgeous! BUT, it was a total labor of love. Ladies, PLEASE respect your florists!!!!!
I know, right? The peonies came out sooo delicious!
The couple had their reception in their loft area [in the courtyard mainly, with dancing and cake inside]. This is their amazingly funky chandelier:

A close close close up of the mom’s nosegay bouquets [all in all, 3 mom bouquets, 6 bridesmaids, and a bride!]
The bridesmaids all came together two nights before the wedding and made 258 cupcakes for the guests [well more than enough for this intimate affair]- not only were they super cute, they were sooo yummy!!
[That's our champagne, chilling after we took out all of the cupcakes]
The bride, after the wedding, wore a fresh peony in her hair. Since I’m big on options, I ran these upstairs during the cermeony:
First Congregationalmade a gorgeous vintage style backdrop and set the tone for the day!
Back to the reception…
Their custom cake topper was made by two of their friends, and totally fit their mexican-fiesta style vibe!
A moment during the first dance- and the closest we’re going to get to the bride and groom!
And, my mom’s favorite image of the day [she said she'd frame it and hang it above the mantle!]:
The end! Hope you enjoyed!!!
