Roses are Romantic

And here’s the proof… Amanda’s bouquet was a mix of pink garden roses, champagne tea roses and always lovely vendella rosesChris and Amanda’s very intimate ceremony in The Davenport House Garden.

Roses tucked into the boxwood topiaries make a natural altarpiece

Posies for the moms replace the traditional corsage

This was one of our favorite weddings to flower.  It was just beautiful.  Big thanks to Tricia Huddas & Co., Jeff at The Davenport House, and of course Jimmy Jam Jade of Jade McCully Photography, for spoiling us with her wonderful art

Cabbage Roses replace the beloved Peony

Lauren sent this picture to us for her late September wedding.  As you can see the bright pink peonies were top on her list for bouquet flowers.  Unfortunately, as many of you fall brides know, peonies are not available.  Fear not! 

Below is a picture of how Lauren’s bouquet ended up …..I think only a florist could really tell the difference.  Cabbage roses save the day.  These are Yves Piaget roses, courtesy of Jade McCully Photography

Although we had never met Lauren in person, I was not surprised by how cute is she.  Here she is with her very handsome new husband….isn’t he though?!?!?

Thank you Jade for sharing, and thank you Lauren and John…otherwise known as Mr. and Mrs.  Hancock

Pretty Dahlias and Ms. Kate’s Snowberries and Orchids

Our good friend Teresa stopped by last weekend after her run around Forsyth Park and grabbed my little junkie digital to snap a few flowers we were working on for Sarah and Kate… two brides to be.  I thought  I would share as some of their bouquets had flowers that are only in season this time of year, which makes them extra special to us.

All you fall brides out there… you may not be able to have your peonies, but Autumn holds its own with snowberries and dahlias.

The Classic White Bouquet

Having so many gorgeous and colorful flowers at our disposal, it may sound a little funny when I say there is nothing quite like an all white bridal bouquet.  Heidi’s bouquet for her own wedding was her favorite, orange…but I think if I were to choose, it would be whites and creams.  Here are two of our just down right beautiful brides from September,  that chose the classic white bouquet.  They left the color to their girls as you will note.  Big thank you to Teresa Earnest of Memories N More Photography for letting me squeeze her yet again for pictures!

speaking of white bouquets…I HAD to include a shot of Natalia’s peonies and vibirnum from this spring

Just wanted to show off  these two shots that I loved of both weddings…

we love..when you love…orchids!

This past weekend was a very busy one, with more than one bride’s vision of the perfect flowers for her wedding.  It is always fun opening a shipment and ooohing and aaahhing over their selections.  This weekends favorite was Carrie Klinger’s orange mokara orchids.  They were perfection.  In fact, we ordered more for this week!  A big thank you to the newly married Mrs. Logue, Marianne McBay of Wed Acompli, The Olde Pink House for all of their help setting up, Carrie of Two Cakes, and of course the very talented” Jimmy Jam Jade” of Jade McCully Photography for sharing these beautiful shots

Mr.and Mrs. Logue!Alright, I saved the best for last.  This cake was just amazing.

Keeping it simple with Calla Lilies

We have been doing a lot of mini calla lily bouquets these days.  Most of the brides that ask for them, express their need to keep it simple…and avoid the fussy.  And I have to agree, if you like this fuss-free look, mini call’s are the way to go.  Although they are beautiful, they are not cheap….so consider an alternative with large white callas for a clean, modern bouquet without the bigger price tag.  Large calla’s are also a nice way to have your girls have the same type of bloom in their bouquets, but much cheaper.

We were delighted to pick up this seasons Savannah Wedding’s by Savannah Magazine, and find that two of our weddings were featured.  Here they are thanks to the fab photography of Jade McCully Photography and Teresa Earnest of Memories N More.  Shana and Lauren were both married at The Harper Fowlkes House, so it is very interesting to see how different their weddings were….
