Peacock feathers and colors of turquoise, green and blue were a big hit last summer and seem to still be hanging in there for 2014.   Green is a wonderful color option for the colors of these dresses and bring out the shimmer of green in the peacock feathers.  Some flowers that come in this lime green tone are roses, kermit mums, green spider mums, alstromeria lilies, cymbidium orchids, dendrobium orchids, hypericum berries and gladiola blooms.  Gladiola blooms are a great way to get a full flower and not add a huge amount to your budget.

Mollie had a beautiful bouquet of white peonies and patience garden roses in a hand tied bouquet

Jake and Mollie had a beautiful June wedding at Glen Oaks Country Club.  They held the ceremony outside on the veranda and had a lovely reception inside.  
Mollies bridesmaids wore knee length navy dresses.  We used white hydrangeas, yellow standard roses and yellow spray roses.  Mollies bouquet description is below the picture above but look at those Patience Garden Roses.  They are so pretty and they smell amazing.  
Molly added some special touches to her bouquet by attaching a handkerchief from her grandmother to the handle and then we also added her fathers dog tags to her bouquet in his memory. 
  

Navy bridesmaids dresses make the yellow roses and white hydrangea bouquets really stand out.

Love this yellow ombre cake and the beautiful blue hydrangeas.

I just had to throw this picture in.  I love seeing the pop of color in the shoes that girls wear on their wedding day.

Details that are added on to brides bouquets that are sentimental are always a lovely touch.  This was a handkerchief from Mollies grandmother.  So sweet. 

Patience Garden Rose

And this is a very special picture to me.  This is my oldest granddaughter Kenzie.  She is a special sweet young lady and I am pretty crazy about her.  It is fun when you get to decorate for a wedding and are a guest. This was an extra special wedding for me.  Congratulations to my sweet nephew Jake and his beautiful wife and my new niece Molly.

Holiday Season = Engagement Season

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and before you know it Christmas and New Years will be here.
And with the holiday season comes another season.....ENGAGEMENT SEASON.

This next couple of months will fly so don't loose one planning minute for your 2014 wedding.  Trends are fun for next year. Wondering what they are, lets talk about some of them. 


SEQUINS, love them or leave em.  I happen to love them.  A little shimmer or a lot, they are FUN!!

I feel like I need to have a special group that I can go to and talk about my love of sequins.  A little sparkle here and there, well, I think it is what makes the world go round.
And with colors like navy blue, aqua, pink, nude and of course all of the metallic colors, amazing.

So after looking for some visuals for this post and after totally getting caught up in the glimmer and sparkle here goes.  Be inspired!!

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. 

Cream, Pink and Gold

The cutest couple!!
