Joe and Millie

Yes I know there is not a single flower in this picture but I just had to use it.  Isn't it adorable.  Love it. 

I love this picture

Polo Roses, Pink Majolica Roses, Pink Stock and Craspedia.

Millie called me with a special request for her bridal bouquet.  The Bible that you see pictured above is a family bible that has been carried by many of the brides in her family.  She wanted to carry on that tradition.  Most often a heirloom like this is held flat and the flowers are placed on top of the bible.  But Millie wanted a round hand tied bouquet and asked if I could think of a creative way to include their family Bible in a round bouquet and the picture above shows how it worked out.  Beautiful Polo Roses, Pink Stock, Pink Majolica Roses and Craspedia. The lace and the button were elements that she used in her bridesmaids bouquets which she made out of fabric flowers.  I incorporated them with the bible to help cover the mechanics that held the bible in the bouquet. 

Photos in the rain are so sweet.

This is the expression that you want to see on a brides face when she first sees her bouquet.  Day made!!

Such cute centerpieces.  Millie did these herself but I couldn't resist showing you a picture of them.

Josh and Lisa Duvall

Look at the smiles of this happy couple.



Lisa's bridal bouquet contained blue hydrangea (gorgeous), pruple spray roses, majolica spray rose and blue delphinium.  Not really visible in this picture are some sweet stephanotis but you can see them in a picture coming up.



Beautiful bride.

Lisa had a large bridal party of 10 bridesmaids.  The bridesmaids bouquets contained light blue hydrangea, blue iris and  majolica spray rose.

There are those sweet stephanotis in the brides bouquet.

One happy bride!

The wedding reception was held at the gorgeous and historic Temple of Performing Arts downtown Des Moines, IA

The bridal party were real troopers.  The weather was warm and humid.  I think it was in the 100's on the day of Josh and Lisa's wedding.  This was in the trolley that took them from place to place for pictures and transported them to the reception. Still have a few smiles left.

Purple, Pearls and Daisies

Brad and Amberly were such a great couple to work with.  And surprisingly when they came to their consultation apointment I realized that I knew Brads family. It really is a small world. These outdoor photos were taken at Pammel State Park. Beautiful!!

Adorable!!



This phot and the one below were taken at Brads farm.  You just can't take the boy out of the country, at least not this one.

Adorable flower girls all nieces of the groom. Each carried their own small bouquet. I think they enjoyed that.

Amberly wanted Purple, pearls and daisies.  And as you can see in her bouquet she got everything she loved.  Purple roses, white roses, purple varigated daisies, purple daisies, and large pearls.
