Katie's Wedding at Springfield Manor

I am always thrilled to do a wedding out in beautiful Frederick, MD and Katie's wedding was no exception.  In addition to Katie having exquisite taste with her ivory and champagne wedding with green and blush accents, Katie and I clicked immediately on a personal level.  I love an organized bride and Katie was a girl after my own heart with her spreadsheets and color coded emails.  It was a joy to design for her wedding and I'm so excited to share her wedding with you!

Katie's bouquet was made of white and cream roses, minty green Lola succulents, local mountain mint, white lisianthus, silver brunia berries, white snapdragons, white wax flowers, and white spray roses.  I finished it with some gold sprayed seeded eucalyptus and a gorgeous champagne and ivory ribbon treatment.  I could NOT get enough of this bouquet!  The maid's bouquets were smaller versions of Katie's.

 

 Katie had several designs for her reception table.  We had cedar boxes custom made for two of them.  For the head table, I used long boxes filled with white hydrangea, white garden roses, blush roses, Bells of Ireland, white snapdragons, mountain mint, white wax flowers and a little accent of gold sprayed eucalyptus.

The second design was a 6x6 square box filled with the same flowers and the third design was a lush ring of flowers which included some creamy carnations for texture surrounding an antique white lantern.

 

 There are several lovely ceremony sites at Springfield Manor but my favorite is under a humongous white arbor that backs up to a green mountainside.  We added a small spray in coordinating colors to decorate the arch and lined the aisle with lanterns that were overflowing with flowers spilling out into the aisle!

                 

Another favorite element was the gorgeous cakes by Karen Rodney Cakes.  I love when the groom's cake allows the couple's personality to shine!  And look at those sugar flowers on the wedding cake!! 

 

Isn't this an amazing shot of the entire room?

Just a few more pretties.... 

 

 

 Thank you to Spence Photographics for the stunning images!  I also know this event could not have happened without the help of Six Twenty Events.

Charmmy's Wedding at the Crowne Plaza

This past May, on a beautiful sunny day, Charmmy and Jose got married at the Crowne Plaza in Arlington, VA.  I'm so happy to be able share these images from George Street Photography.  

Charmmy's bouquet was a beautiful blush and white arrangement with accents of gold seeded eucalyptus.  I used three shades of blush colored roses, pink wax flowers, hydrangea, local white lilac, pink stock, blush lisianthus, white astilbe and pink ranunculus.  I also picked out her ribbon detail on a trip to New York in March!  I love the way the ribbons accent the gold leaves.

Jose's boutonniere was made of pink ranunculus, a pink spray rose and green hypericum berry.  It was accented with a teal ribbon to match the bridesmaid's dresses.

 

This sweet little princess had a flower wreath of white spray roses and silver dollar eucalyptus.  I may or may not have tried this on myself....

 

I made a special arrangement for the sweetheart table made of hydrangea, lilac, astilbe, blush and light pink roses and green hypericum berries.

For Charmmy's tables, I created a trio of bud vases set atop a mirror.  The clear glass and the mirror reflected the light from the candles to create a romantic focal point for the tables.

After the ceremony, Charmmy and Jose took some beautiful pictures in front of the monuments!

 

 

I love these pictures of the bride arriving! Beautiful bride, beautiful flowers, beautiful car, beautiful day!

 

A few more sweet details....

 

Charmmy and Jose make such a lovely couple.  I don't know what was said in the toasts that evening, but what a belly laugh!!  These two look like they were having so much fun!

I think this one is my absolute favorite!  So, I'll leave you with this beauty!

Thanks again for taking a look at my work and stay tuned for more!

Sarah's wedding at Ostertag Vistas

I am so happy to finally be able to share some of the work I've been doing this year!  Sarah asked me for a rustic, vintage themed wedding.  We used mismatched mason jars coupled with lace on the tables to create a beautiful, yet simple design that fit perfectly with her venue, an old renovated barn set in the middle of both the farms and mountains of Frederick County.  What I think makes these pictures even more stunning is the incredible amount of love that can be seen in each of these pictures.  There is nothing better than creating a design for a couple as in love as these two.

Sarah's bouquet was made of white Tibet roses, purple calla lilies, Alchimella, limonium, and accented with a collar of lemon leaves.

Sarah wanted a super simple bridesmaid bouquet of white roses and tied with green satin ribbon.







Sarah's tables were an assortment of mixed mason jars filled with purple stock, white wax flowers, Queen Anne's Lace, purple anemones, white freesia, purple carnations, white ranunculus, purple lisianthus, and Alchimella.

This stunning boutonniere has a purple calla lily, freesia and limonium.







I am so proud to have been a part of Sarah's big day.  What a gorgeous couple!
