The SOUTHERN WEDDINGS MAGAZINE Daily Blog.
Take a peek here.***
I had such a great time working with Nichole Utecht and Jason Algra on their wedding. They fell in love with so many natural elements in our flower shop–the fresh flowers, manzanita branches, natural grasses and lichen branches. It was all the perfect backdrop for their Tybee Island wedding. And Nicole Wickens with Green Door Photography did an amazing job capturing the moments. To view more photos, check out her blog. Thanks for the fabulous shots Nicole!
Her bridal bouquet was absolutely one of my favorites. Our inspiration was the color of seashells. We used peonies, garden roses, amaryllis, parrot tulips, lily of the valley and ranunculus. I had no idea she was wearing these shoes, but wasn’t it a perfect match??
Jason’s boutonniere was a perfect mixture of ranunculus, green fern curls, feathers and green moss.
Bill (one of my fellow designers) and I set up this wedding on the back side of Tybee Island where its nice and quite. We were there very early in the morning–7:30! It was a perfect morning! We created an ‘aisle’ with lichen branches, then enhanced it with natural grasses and manzanita branches. I took these shots just before the guests arrived.
In between the set up and break down of the wedding, Bill and I went to the famous Breakfast Club and had a delicious breakfast. I highly recommend it to anyone coming to Tybee.
“Thank you so very much for our gorgeous wedding flowers and beach decor! Our wedding day could not have been more perfect and our photographer, along with me, and everyone else were totally smitten with my bouquet!” –Nicole Utecht
The couple took advantage of our many photo ops around Savannah. Green Door Photography took this one at the gorgeous entrance to Wormsloe Plantation.
Thanks so much Nicole and Jason for letting me be such a special part of your day!!

Flowers for a Savannah Graduate
May 15th, 2010
“I want to thank you so very much for the flower arrangements you made for my daughter’s college graduation luncheon last Saturday. The arrangements were absolutely stunning, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen just perfect roses. The flowers were sophisticated and fun, a perfect match for my daughter. We had so many wonderful compliments on them, during lunch and on the streets of Savannah while we were walking back to our cars. I made sure everyone commenting knew where they came from. Again, I can’t thank you enough for the amazing job you did with the flowers.”

Savannah Wedding Flowers for Jamie & Casey
May 8th, 2010Jamie Fifer and Casey O’Rear were married on a beautiful spring day here in Savannah. The team at Caroline Carter Events did a fantastic job pulling their entire look together. Their color scheme was burnt orange and peach, and the bride was especially fond of dahlias and roses. Their photographer, Jade McCully, was kind enough to provide me with an immediate sneak peak of their day. Check out these beautiful images…
Jamie’s classic bridal bouquet consisted of white roses and mini calla lilies. The bridesmaids, on the other hand, carried a vibrant collection of dahlias, calendulas and roses.
The ceremony took place downtown in Warren Square. We tied beautiful little bunches of orange flowers onto the chairs and placed rose petals down the sides of the aisle. These chair markers were later re-used as table centerpieces on the cocktail tables at the reception.
The reception was held at the Charles Morris Center at The Trustees Garden. It was really breathtaking when you walked in the door because it was so warm and inviting. Thanks to Caroline Carter, the linens and chairs were a perfect complement to the brick walls and wood floors, and the candlelight was truly enhanced by the orange rose petals placed inside our candlestick vases. These vases were used on half the tables.
Gorgeous submerged roses were used on the other tables.
Many many thanks go out to photographer Jade McCully for providing me with these gorgeous images! Its always a pleasure to work with you!!
Wedding Flowers at Palmetto Bluff – Lauren & Nick
March 29th, 2010I am truly one of the luckiest people in the world. I work with beautiful flowers, beautiful couples and in beautiful places. Check out these gorgeous images (from Chia & Hon) of a wedding we did last September at Palmetto Bluff. I worked closely with the bride’s mother, Vicka, to create a dream wedding for her daughter and future son-in-law.
As a mother myself, I adore this image of the couple and their niece.
Lauren’s bridal bouquet was one of my favorites! I love a gorgeous natural mixture of garden flowers. We used roses, freesia, ranunculus, cymbidium orchids, buplureum, hanging amaranthus and pieris japonica.
Lauren Conder and Nick Klinkert were married in the Waterside Chapel located on the grounds of The Palmetto Bluff Resort. Its a magical charming place that overlooks the May River.
These bridesmaid’s bouquets consisting of green hydrangea and cymbidium orchids were the perfect complement to their eggplant colored dresses.
Gladiolas are the bride’s favorite flowers, so they greeted her in a grand way at the entrance to the reception.
The ballroom of the Inn was filled with tall arrangements of magnolia leaves, curly willow, oriental lilies, roses and tall French tulips. Tulips were a must at this wedding since the groom was Dutch!!
Many many thanks to Chia & Hon for providing all of these beautiful images. You are always such a pleasure to work with!
Savannah’s Premier Bridal Show
February 28th, 2010Congratulations to Savannah Magazine for hosting their first bridal show at the Jepson Center this past February! What a fabulous turnout!! I partnered up with two other wedding colleagues and friends… Melissa Livingston with M Livingston Events and Emily McCarthy with emmajdesign. The three of us had a wonderful time in our styling session creating the perfect booth to display each of our talents. I, of course, did the flowers, Emily designed all of the paper products and Melissa pulled each table scape together with fabulous linens, china, chairs, etc.
Our first table had a preppy, nautical feel to it. We created a set of colorful monochromatic centerpieces using yellow roses, tulips and asiatic lilies, and adorned the bride and groom’s chairs with hanging rose pomander balls. We have 100 of these tall vases to rent to our brides and often fill them with floating candles.
At our flower shop, we see so many brides that are selecting ‘eggplant’ as one of their wedding colors, so we created this centerpiece (to the right) to complement this color scheme. We used lavender roses, green and pink hydrangea, green trick dianthus and pops of very dark grapes, plums and black berries. Its a great way of using the color ‘eggplant’ without making everything too dark.
The focal point of our booth was the Well Wishes Tree created from our 5′ tall manzanita branches. We love using these branches as table centerpieces with hanging crystals and votive candles as well.
Melissa selected all of our linens and chairs from Beachview Tent Rentals. They have a fabulous selection and are wonderful to work with.
Our third table scape had an elegant feel to it using golds, whites and greens. We used jumbo white hydrangea, open spray roses, green amaryllis with shorter gold manzanita branches and hanging crystals This type of centerpiece can be used as a ceremony arrangement as well.
I had a wonderful time working with these talented ladies. Please check out their sites! Thanks Melissa and Emily!!
And many many thanks to my friend and colleague Donna Von Bruening for stopping by the show and taking some of these wonderful photographs for me.
