Erin and Steven's Polo Fields Ann Arbor Wedding



Congratulations Erin and Steven married today at Polo Fields of Ann Arbor 
Erin's Ivory bouquet was mounded but textured and featured  nerine lilies, siberia lilies, button dahlia, garden roses, freesia, alchemilla, and silver brunea. 
Not pictured is the adorable vintage pansy broach that we snagged off of Etsy and pinned to the handle of the bouquet.  Erin's grandmother loved pansies so although they are not in season we wanted to find a way to include them in her honor.




 The Centerpieces featured floating Gardenia which smelled amazing my whole delivery van smells amazing hours later.  My favorite thing about this move is the smell/memory connection.  For the rest of their lives whenever they smell a real gardenia images of their wedding will come flooding back!

 Lovely Mill Race Village wedding in Northville last weekend.  I didn't get many photos but couldn't resist this one of the church steps.  Arrangement features mini green hydrangea, fuji mums, ivory roses, fern tips, and ruscus.   The church is air conditioned in spite of being historical and makes a great venue!! The gazebo below is across the road from the little chapel...very pretty :)
