Josh and Ali

When I met with Ali she had a very clear picture of what she wanted her flowers to look like.  Ali's wedding was in October of 2014 and when we met for our first consultation there was still snow on the ground. Ali started planning her wedding flowers early.  
Ali chose purple as her main color for her flowers.  Her bridesmaids wore black and carried purple and white flowers that included white gerbera daisies with black centers, Purple Carnations, White Cushion Mums and Lavender Stock.  
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this first picture of Ali with her bouquet.  Ali and her sparkly, glitzy necklace and earrings are stunning and a perfect compliment to her dress.  And her bouquet in purple and white is so striking and vivid. Ali's bouquet was made up of Picasso Calla Lilies, White Dahlias, White Button Mums, White Lisianthus and Purple and Lavender Stock.  
They held their ceremony at the Saints Center Saints Center in Stuart, IA.  A beautiful and historic land mark in Stuart.  
The way that this building has been restored and is now used as an event center is amazing.  The lighting, tall ceilings and the mix of the old with the new makes a striking venue for many different occasions.

Carly and Alex

Carly and Alex were married on a beautiful July day at Jester Park Lodge.  I loved Carly's bouquet.  It was full, loose and full of texture.  
The only thing that out shined the flowers was the bride!

Nicky and Grant



A beautiful summer day in Iowa with open fields and a cool breeze.  Add a young couple in love and this is what you get.  Romantic and breathtaking.  
I feel so fortunate that I get to celebrate love almost every weekend with some amazing Iowa couples.  And Nicky and Grant were definitely one of those couples. 
What stunning setting for a first look. 
Nicky carried a bouquet of Sunflowers, Yellow Spray Roses, Blue Delphinium and Yellow Solidiago
Nicky chose Sunflowers in honor of her Grandfather. They were his favorite flower. 













Oh my! 

Even the little guys like to dance and show off their boutonniere's.

Emily, Tyler and their Beautiful Coral and Navy Wedding at Jasper Winery



Tyler and Emily are a wonderful and lovely couple.  I feel like I received so much more from them than I gave.  They exude kindness and encouragement. 
They are a couple that will always be in my book of special memories.  

Their flowers were in the coral family and wow, they really popped against the bridesmaids navy dresses.  

Emily loved coral peonies and was one of the lucky girls who got married while they were in season.  They are a show stopper flower for sure but in Emily's case she was the star of the show and the coral peonies took a happy second to her.  


Emily and her bridesmaids sharing a moment of fun.  The bridesmaids carried roses, carnations and spray roses in round hand tied bouquets. 
The brides bouquet had both ivory and coral roses, peach stock and coral peonies. 










First "SELFIE" as a man and wife.
