Misty Farms Herb Bouquet . Congrats Audrey and Paul!

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!

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

The DIY Pallet Coffee table with 6" diameter cast iron wheels

 

Our stylish bride Elyse Carried this unique feminine bouquet at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens Saturday. After delivering Justin and I took some time out to relax in the atrium and wander the grounds.  Everything is in bloom and I'm kicking myself for not getting photos to share here but if you can make a trip out there this fall DO IT!! The outdoor gardens are free of charge including the most amazing (and biggest) children's garden that has 10 or so activities available all the time.  

Bouquet is composed of the officially in season DAHLIA! Just look at it and drool surrounded by white scabiosa, craspedia (or billy balls) scabiosa pods, yellow and pink ranunculus, the infamous dusty miller foliage and seeds from seeded eucalyptus.

And this is a sneak peek at our new living room with blue tufted sofa a $250 craigslist find and the above homemade pallet coffee table with industrial casters that could support the weight of an elephant! Under that drum roll..........Shag Carpet from Ikea Yippee!

Special thanks to Daddy for building the coffee table it will be my favorite family heirloom and the grand kids can fight over it when I'm gone (or just bury me under it). xo

Here is the caster:

Kiran and Kris's Waldenwoods Wedding Hartland, MI

 

Kiran and Kris were married last Saturday at my new favorite venue of all time Waldenwoods Resort and conference center, in Hartland, MI I just love how the banquet hall is rustic with wood siding and huge french windows that look out over a lake.  There is a cobblestone fireplace at the each end and the faint smell of cedar smoke that is so comforting and brings back memories of every cabin and lodge I've ever vacationed in.  

 

 

 

Two types of centerpieces low mounded textured apple centerpieces that featured green zinnia, white garden roses (variety alabaster) mini green hydrangea, green ranunculus, white ranunculus, and white ball dahlia in a white designer dish "lotus by syndicate sales"

The tall centerpieces stared bells of Ireland and curly willow branches with 5 hanging tea lights dangling in every direction.  All of the above photos are by yours truely and very amature but I had the great pleasure of working with Melissa Squires of A Girl in Love Photography on this event and I am looking so forward to posting some of her photos next month, Melissa is wildly talented.
