VIP Magazine: Jenni and Chris

The January issue of VIP Magazine featured some breathtaking photos from the engagement party by the bride's family in honor of Jenni and Chris. The Social Butterflies transformed and coordinated the rooftop affair at the Madison. Photos of the perfect evening were taken by Annabella Charles and featured luxurious white furniture from Mahaffey Tent & Party Rentals. We were hired to help turn up the Miami Chic with hundreds of purple orchids and other modern flowers.

French Navy and Gold: Southern Bride Magazine

One of the ways I knew I truly wanted to be a florist is when I still bought wedding magazines after we got married. Photo shoots are one of my favorite parts of being a floral designer. I love being able to create flowers that are unconventional and inspirational to brides and fellow bridal mag-a-holics like myself.

This season's cultural theme for Southern Bride was the reason our team chose the beautiful mid town antique gallery Palladio as the backdrop to a French Fantasy table.
The best part about having a group of vendors you trust is that all of the good ideas are incorporated. A good example is Jaime, Michelle, and Addie from Social Butterflies, who keep up with the latest in rental and linen trends. I learned so much about the gold cap on the table! I had never seen it before the shoot.
As always, Annabella Brandon from Annabella Charles Photography translated our setting into a feast for the eyes. I really tried to think 'inside the box' by making a majority of the floral items in a square shape to mimic the square table. I also created my first broach mini bouquet. Those broaches are addicting ladies!
So without further adieu, here are the faves and details from our ode to the Gold of Versailles France.
I hope you agree when I say, "C'est ce bon!".

Your Wedding Day Magazine & The SFDWG 2010

Last year just 2 days before I moved from California to Memphis, instead of packing I was running around San Francisco and 1 Fort Mason at a launch party for the San Francisco Dream Wedding Giveaway 2010. How could I not? Liz Guthrie (the founder) is a dear friend with a HUGE charitable vision. It was such a great night and as a gift to the event and team I fashioned 3 tables with designs and flowers I was sure no one had seen before. The most prominent was the replica of the logo Astrid Mueller had created for the national Contest.

With the help of my husband and Monica ( and later Krystan and Sean) we set up a grand 8 ft table sized Golden Gate Bridge of flowers, wood, Ethereal Decor crystals, and lights (and a few of my son's matchbox cars). The results are something I am still very proud of.

I found this article last week after purchasing YWD magazine in a local craft store. The funny part of the story is that after I ooohed and aaahed over the entire gloriously crafted magazine shoots and wished I could have been a part of it I reached page 180. There was a story about the contest, Liz, the winning couple, and the sponsors. What a great way to find photos you didn't even know had been published! Thanks to Lilia Ahner, the shots used truly captured the essence of the evening and all the details of that unique table. I am including a sketch so you can see behind the scenes of what things look like when I try and explain them to clients and coordinators. I think I was spot on.
Three Cheers for the winning couple, their new married lives together, and my dear friend Liz who gave them all of this by creating such a wonderful contest! In case you didn't know, she also founded a national charity after feeling the need to marry ALL of the heartwarming contest non-winners. Memphis chapter is in the works so stay tuned...

Haute Horticulture Shines in Contest


Recently the company Ethereal Decor had a contest and I happened upon the results while looking at their stunning inventory. It seems that Haute Horticulture was 2nd only to an event that was featured on Platinum Weddings. If I had known I was up against an existing TV show entry for best use of their real crystal strands and products, I may have thought twice about entering our stunning photos from Amethyst and Paul's jewel toned wedding. But it turns out our photo is featured on the front page (with proper credits soon to follow).

Ethereal Decor is the best source for real Swarovski crystals, drops, and chains. I use them primarily for my arrangements and chandeliers. One might worry about leaking and industry secret, but after their feature on the WE network's Platinum Weddings I don't think it's a secret anymore.

What an honor. Thanks Ethereal Decor!!

Premier Bride Photo Shoot: Southern Peach


Last Tuesday I had an amazing day! We worked at the Hunt-Phelan House downtown Memphis to create stunning photos for Premier Bride's August issue. This was by far one of my favorite photos shoots. The proofs are now being processed by the capable and talented Annabella Jackson from Asian Bees Photography. She posted these delicious photos on her blog shortly after the shoot and just had to share them with you. They only make me hungry to see all of the carefully planned details involved in the day. More to come...

All of the vendors involved Hunt-Phelan, Premier Bride, Classic Party Rentals, Cakes by Mom and Me, Amy Miller Weddings, Asian Bees Photography, and our four talented models.
