Lovebirds - a May Wedding in WNC

There is nothing better than blogging about a spring wedding while listening to the first chirps of a new spring right outside my window.  I am so excited for the peonies, hydrangea, forsythia (or yellow bell as it's know in my neighborhood :) to begin blooming.  Please soak up the last few minutes of sunshine on this March afternoon and enjoy these beautiful images by 4th Dimension Photography from Andrea and Jeremy's wedding at High Vista Country Club last year.  We love the sparkles in Andrea's bouquet, the fullness of hydrangea everywhere, the most beautiful flower girl, and bright blues shining throughout the design.  Thank you, Andrea and Jay, for the privilege of being part of your special day -- we wish you many happy Occasions in the years to come.

Heather and Joe, an August Wedding at Claxton Farm

Hello Friends!

I am so happy to post sunshine-y goodness on this early December day.  Heather and Joe married in August at Claxton Farm in Weaverville, NC.  This beautiful location comes complete with mountain views, sweeping vistas and a real cow, or two!  We enjoyed working with Heather to design a floral scheme that expressed her love for all things rustic and vintage, AND the joy she and Joe share.  Enjoy the bright colors, fresh arrangements and big smiles in these gorgeous photos from our friend, Ryan Bumgarner.

We wish Heather and Joe many more happy Occasions!

Instagram and Flowers

Yay for zinnia, dahlia and the last few hydrangea bushes still brave enough to blossom.  I love fall, and truth be told, I wish I could spend all day in the floral studio celebrating with autumn blooms.  Below are a few of the bouquets and other arrangements we've enjoyed creating this year.  I've taken these shots on my iPhone, so had to razzle dazzle a few of them a bit through instagram.  Hope you have fun looking through them and come up with some new ideas for your wedding!
