Photographers, Chia and Hon, did a fantastic job capturing this special day.  Thanks for sharing your beautiful images with us!!

Julia carried a beautiful bouquet of cream ‘Vendela’ roses with hints of soft pink spray roses.

Isn’t her niece precious?  This halo of soft pink spray roses couldn’t not have looked more perfect.

Her bridesmaids carried round fluffy bouquets of purple lisianthus.

Hi Ashley!

Julia and Andrew were married in the heart of downtown Savannah at Independent Presbyterian Church.

This large altar piece was designed onsite in IPC’s gorgeous stand.  We used a mixture of hydrangea, roses, stock, lilies, snapdragons, bells of ireland, ivy, curly willow and hanging green amaranthus.

The reception took place at The Savannah Yacht Club.  This glowing shot was taken from its river front lawn behind the club.

I loved the style of their reception flowers.  I call it ‘Garden Flair’.  They had a tremendous garden-like feel, but with the fresh modern flair of tropical flowers and foliage.  This buffet piece incorporates lilies, bell of ireland, hanging green amaranthus, monstera leaves, italian ruscus and curly willow with cymbidium orchids soaring up high.

Julia’s mother, Emmy, found these great ceramic bowls for our centerpieces.  The Garden Flair was achieved using lilies, bells of ireland, dendrobium orchids, tulip anthuriums and roses.

I love the hanging amaranthus on this cake!!

Here are some of the wonderful images that wedding photographer, Donna Von Bruening took…She really captured the evening quite well!  Thanks Donna!

The event was held at one of Savannah’s newest hotels, Avia, located right in the heart of City Market.  Its a favorite hotel of many brides and tourists.  Its fresh and modern, but still very warm and Southern.  As the professionals entered the lobby, they were greeted by the warm glow of floating candles in our Monet vases.  We have about 100 of these to rent out.

The main ballroom looked spectacular with our natural brown manzanita branches, hanging crystals and votives.  I love the linens and lucite chivari chairs that Caroline selected.  And StageFront did a fantastic job with the accent lighting.

Check out the strung Mambo roses!  A last minute addition to the design, but I think it was a really nice detail.

Here I am (on the left) with my very talented colleague, Donna Von Bruening, a wonderful photographer and founder of Savannah Wedding Professionals.   She is the one responsible for all of these wonderful photos!

I am not a big drinker at all, but I absolutely LOVED this cocktail, appropriately named The Blushing Bride.  I would highly recommend having Avia make it for your wedding.  What a perfect signature drink!

Yummy food provided by Avia.  I can’t remember what this was, but it was all delicious!

At the end of the evening, we celebrated on Avia’s private courtyard terrace.  Its a little slice of heaven, and there’s no other place like it in Savannah!  Below are some of the small cocktail table arrangements that we made.

Custom Cakes baked all of these wonderful treats.  And those aren’t real flowers on the cake, they are all handmade by Minette Rushing and her talented staff.  I wish I had a close up shot.  Some of the flowers had over a 100 blooms on them.

We all sampled some of Savannah Bee Company’s wonderful honey.  It was beautifully presented with cheese and berries.  It was absolutely delicious!  I would highly recommend it as an appetizer during your cocktail hour.  Their honey gifts make wonderful wedding favors as well.

Many thanks to Caroline Carter and her assistants for organizing such a successful party.  Its always a pleasure to work with you girls!

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!!

Many thanks to George at BlueDoor Photography for these beautiful images.

This bouquet was created for Jessica Jones and Jeff Traenkner back in February.

Photographer Nicole Rule did a fabulous job capturing these beauties!  To view more photos, check out her blog.

“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.”

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!!

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!

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.
