Bridal Bouquet gone WILD!! Who says fall colors are drab...

Designed this WILD bouquet for Megan's cobblestone farms wedding.  It was inspired by CSA flowers from earlier this season.  Thank's to Meg's relaxed vision I was free to go snag all of the most perky and charismatic flowers from the market.  Orange dahlia, coral zinnia, fuchsia anemone, purple sweet pea, red cockscomb, red and green ranunculus, scabiosa pods, english lavender, and veronica...gasp.

Really Really fun to make!! I love being an Ann Arbor florist I get the most free and creative brides who let me design some seriously outrageous bouquets.  This is the same wedding that gave rise the herb boutonnieres that I blogged last week: here

An Arbor of Flowers for Allison and Chet's Fall Wedding

I just adore the color choices that Allison made for her fall wedding.  My favorite of all the designs we prepared for their big day was this arbor.  It was pretty chilly while we were arranging it and honestly my hands were numb when I finished but it was worth it!! Arbor decor includes trachillium, dahlia, smokebush, roses and ruscus.  ~Congrats Allison and Chet best wishes for an awesome life toghether!!

Congratulations Julia and Sam!!

What an Event! Seriously one of my favorite bridal bouquets of all time (so much color!!) It was a blast to design for this wedding at Sharon Mills.  The Mills is a gorgeous place for a wedding it was build in 1835 and restored by Henry Ford in the 1930s!! All six of the above photographs are by Dustin Francis It was really fun getting to know Julia and her mom what delightful clients (all of mine are of course)  If you are planning your wedding in the Ann Arbor area for next season and relish and outdoor affair  check out Sharon Mills.
