Oh Summer

Look how sunny it was for Elizabeth and Kellison's wedding, if only it was that sunny right now hrumpf

I was so surprised and delighted when Elizabeth, a former co worker from the flower shop at Plum Market, contacted me to design for her wedding.  The event was spectacular by design (thanks to Courtney McDonald of Petals Planning Co)

It was such a delight to put Audrey's herb bouquet together featuring white Anemone with black centers, Mint, lavender, nigella, ranunculus, stock, and privet berries in a base of antique green hydrangea.  The mint and lavender and stock made this design smell so sweet, yum.

after wrapping the stems we created lush ribbon loops in several widths for added elegance.  If I could go back in time to my own wedding I would totally carry this!
 Hops Boutonnieres Y'all!! So super fun to make and double fun because it was a great excuse to visit my favorite pub The Corner Brewery in Ypsi the home of my heart (Ypsi not the pub)


Of course the wedding was at Misty Farms (where Justin and I were married too see our wedding blog post here!!) look how gorgeous this preview photo is from Nicole Hayley Photography 
Everything about this wedding just melts me probably because it was planned by my girl Courtney of Petals Planning Company.  Courtney has such an eye for detail and refined sense of design, love her!

floral centerpiece michigan wedding reception guest table silver urn vase clear cylinder yellow pomander, coral zinnia anemone, ranunculus
For Brittany and Rick's Weller's Carriage House wedding in Saline Michigan :
A silver Grecian urn vase filled with coral, yellow, pink, and ivory flowers
and a 24" tall 8" diameter glass cylinder vase with yellow chrysanthemum pomander hanging from crystal strands and topped with a similar mix of ranunculus, garden roses, zinnia, craspedia, seeded eucalyptus and anemone.
I love the rustic feel of the wood walls inside the carriage house at Weller's and they were a perfect fit with the moss table runners and river rocks.  
I loved the playfulness of the yellow pomander and the chrysanthemums smelled amazing

Brittany's bouquet was a summery elegant coral design featuring coral zinnia and ranunculus with yellow craspedia, pink anemone and hydrangea, and ivory garden roses.  I took a separate photo of just the coral ranunculus before designing the bouquet because they were so juicy :)
The couple were married under a 10 ft. garland composed of yellow roses.  Two 36" tall black urns were filled with white hydrangea at the back of the aisle.  Just love the long walk under the fall leaves between the carriage house and the pergola.
Cocktail tables featured these sweet little moss cylinders filled with yellow ranunculus, and craspedia.  So honored to be part of Brittany and Rick's big day!! ~Sweet Pea
