Labor of Love.

 The Orchid, in Azel, was the perfect venue for our romantic yet, a little bit, rustic wedding.

I so loved her bouquet! The bits of lilacs, cream roses and white stock really help it stand apart from her dress. I am always telling my brides to think about how your bouquet photographs; it will look different from afar than up close. Scroll on down and you will see what I mean in the group shot. If we would not have had a bit of cream and texture in this, it would not have shown up nearly as much.

Thank you Lifestyle Portraits for these super cool shots! 

Soft and romantic, the bits of blue really were one of my favorite things!

The Orchard was happy to lend the vases, so all we had to do was pop
 in the flowers and what a dollar saver that was! 

The brides bouquet, looks so creamy against the
darker background.

Instead of using one vases we used 3 smaller vases. We put one single hydrangea in each, this way we could fill more space in the table and create a fuller look than really the budget allowed.

Love the detail in this; the bride did a great job!

I really love doing Boutonnieres! Below, I used single bloom Lizzyannthus in white and blue Muscuri for the groomsmen. It is the same little bit of blue that we used in the girls bouquets. 

This centerpiece above, actually was from the rehearsal dinner the day before! The wonderful soon to be mother-in-law arranged for us to do coordinating pieces and took them to the wedding site! How cool was that
