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!

Emilie and Chase...Happily Ever After

Remember Emilie and Chase?  Our fabulous couple who married in January with an ultra-glamorous (and crazy fun!!!) reception at the Mint Uptown in Charlotte, NC?  Here's a link to some of their amazing wedding images photographed by Caroline Ghetes (one of our FAVORITES!) and published by junebugweddings.com, just in case you need to jog your memory:

Emilie and Chase recently returned from an equally glamorous honeymoon to one of my favorite places in all the world--Paris!!  I wanted to share a few of their images with you because a wedding is only for a day...but a marriage is the happily ever after.  These photos are a testament to how fabulous the rest of the story can be.

The love on the walls of this place is out of this world!

Why yes, that is the Eiffel Tour.  One of my top ten destinations for romance world-wide

They also spent some of their time in Prague:

European rivers and bridges... BEST photo op ever!

A trip to Europe is not complete without a sidewalk cafe experience!  I can almost hear the strolling violins.

I hope you are enjoying your happily ever after today!

Kristen and Dale's wedding was the stuff of wedding dreams!  Not only are they beautiful on the outside, but they are so kind, thoughtful and generous toward all around them.  Their exquisite, creative, vintage-inspired, whimsical, beautiful, gorgeous, fabulous (and the adjectives go on, but I'll leave the rest to your imagination) wedding photographed by Caroline Ghetes was recently featured on the Style Me Pretty blog.  You'll want to enjoy these photos with hot tea and a scone on your best antique china to get in the moment!
