I loved this wedding so. The little boys in bow ties and seersucker suits the vintage linen table runners made by Sarah's grandmother.  The bouquet was designed to match the vintage linens  in whites and pastels with pops of red.  University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens in July with everything in full bloom. What an ideal way to get hitched!

If I remember correctly catering was done by the amazing team at Zingerman's Catering of Ann Arbor (best in the biz!)

So happy to create these pink and ivory peony bouquets for Emily and her darling bridesmaids.  Also in these bouquets: ivory ranunculus, dusty miller foliage, green and white parrot tulips, pink sweet peas blossoms, and white sweet pea blossoms.

The head table was in the center of the Michigan League Ball room and featured 3 of these 40+ inches tall branch arrangements with flowers at the base including purple roses, pink tulips, pruple sweet peas, dusty miller foliage, and the branches are blooming cherry.

Laura and Matt's Misty Farms Ann Arbor Wedding



It was such a joy to deliver flowers to Misty Farms for Laura and Matt's wedding this Saturday.  My husband and I were married here almost one year ago and I get all sappy every time I design for another couple at Misty Farms.  This bouquet is an all time fave of mine featuring a mix of purple and wine mini calla, dahlia, ranunculus, lisianthus, trachillum, sweet peas, and intertwined with curly willow. brides bouquet sweet pea floral design ann arbor grosse pointe detroit
