I loved getting to know Amy and Sam. Amy is a photographer so she is also involved in the Kentucky Wedding Industry. She has great style, creativity and loves details. Check out her website Amy Wallen Photography. Her and Sam live in Eastern Kentucky so it is a nice treat when I bump into her in the Lexington area.

Their wedding was a rustic chic, so the flowers were fluffy with vintage touches. Flowers were light pink, pale peach and champagne with pops of gray and yellow. I love using Astilbe so designing all these boquets was really enjoyable! All the boutonnieres were a wee bit different which was a lot of fun.

Congrats Amy and Sam!

Till next time....seek great design.

Had fun with these two, and loved that we were a part of their day. Hide and Seek helped with all the personal decor. Heather's all white peony bouquet smelled wonderful.

Wishing them the best in their new home town of Nashville.

Kaity was a blast getting to know! Her upbeat demeanour and personable spirit always made me look forward to our meetings. Her rustic wedding was wonderful and I truly fell in love with her bridal bouquet. Kaity said she loved greens and texture and that is exactly what she got. Her Mother's bridal lace drapped from the stems and the coral charm peonies were stunning when they opened.

Congrats you two!

Till next time....seek great design.

On a hot humid day on a horsefarm outside Lexington Kentucky we were VERY thankful for no rain. I've said before, I always love working with flowers, but being a people person, sometimes my favorite part of my job is meeting with really interesting people. Well Madison and Matt are two pretty cool people! I think what initially attracted me to Madison was her amazing non-profit Eye to Eye Foundation. Check out their work in Ghana! While living in Ghana Matt came to vist and proposed! Pretty cool.

Their wedding flowers were full of bright colors and foliage accents. All the bouquets and centerpieces had lavender and fresh mint popping out at every and any angle. Oh it was hard to part with these blooms! The smell was phenomenal.

Madison wanted two varities of centerpieces, one filled with color and the other to have a fresh green / planted look. Both worked visually against all the white linens, napkins and chairs.

Eucalyptus was everywhere when Matt proposed in Africa, so it was a detail you found throughout their special day-the ceremony, the personal flowers, the centterpieces.  My two favorite touches were the sprigs of eucalyptus tucked into each napkin and the eucalpytus wreath that hung on the mansion's front door.

Congrats to two awesome people!

Till next time....seek great design!

Marriott Griffin Gate
Lexington, KY

Not only did the I have the priviledge of knowing and working with Sami, but I was also introduced to the majority of all the special woman in her family. The first time we met 10 of us hovered around a tiny table, drank coffee and talked flowers. I even met the Groom a few weeks before the wedding which can sometimes be a rare occasioin. What a great family!

The personal flowers for this wedding were traditional, all roses, but we added some fun and noticeable differences. The all white bride's bouquet was wrapped with a lush grouping of white fluffy feathers and all the junior bridesmaids wore floral headpieces. Bits of wax flower foliage were added to the bridesmaids bouquets, floral headbands and bouts for extra texture.

Congrats you two! Wishing you years of happiness

Til next time.....seek great design!

I loved working with these two. Their raditional Spring Wedding at Keeneland echoed the spirit of Kentucky.

All the bouquets were filled with peonies, the highly desired flower of the year. Yep these two planned their Wedding at the perfect time of year to receive these lush beauties. They smelled fabulous.

All the centerpieces either had monotone clusters of roses or white hydrangea. A very simple and traditional look that created elegance. Gold mercury glass votives surrounded the centerpieces and gold jewels were placed within the flowers. Once the venue set up was complete, it looked beautiful, especially since the huge glass windows overlooked the race track.

Congrats Jay and Lisa! Wishing you many many years of happiness.

Till next time.....seek great design!

Extra fun with the Marriott Griffin Gate

Right around Valentine's Day we were invited to participate in the Marriott Griffin Gate's Tasting Event. We really had a lot of fun coming up with six very different style centerpieces (rustic to chic to modern) for the linens which are available to Brides who booked with this venue. As always we LOVE working with the professional staff at Marriott and are looking forward to many weddings there this year. Hopefully we gave the Brides that came to the event some inspiration for their upcoming wedding. Till next time....seek great design.
