Another beautiful wedding is in the books! Elise and Caleb have such a fun surprise proposal story, so it was only fitting that they wanted their wedding to feel “romantic and fun” just as well.

For that playful texture, we added bits of silver dollar and gunni eucalyptus into Elise’s bouquet and tossed in some lovely lavender-colored roses for a subtle pop of color. We just love how this hand-tied look flows with the soft, delicateness of her veil.

Bud vases are such a great decor strategy when it comes to keeping things classic without being too extravagant. But we definitely don’t hold back on flavor- take these raspberry lemonade cupcakes for example!

Thank you for the honor of having Pollen & Pastry as your florist and baker- we loved every moment of creating together!

I'm sitting here writing this post on the most dreary of winter days and I can only just imagine the warm summer days that were captured in these photos! Laura and Donovan's summer wedding at Oak Hill was simply gorgeous. We did the personal flowers for the couple and I just loved Laura's color scheme of dusty shades of purple and blush.

One of my favorite details from this wedding were the Stephanotis flowers tucked into the Mother of the Bride's wrist corsage and into the bridal bouquet. Laura's mom had Stephanotis in her bouquet 35 years earlier and she surprised her by adding that in. How sweet is that!

Rachael Osborn Photography captured these little details so beautifully!

Some of Laura's favorite flowers and foliages were garden roses, eucalyptus, and lavender so we made sure to feature those in her garden style bouquet. Other flowers in the bouquet included ranunculus, stock, several varieties of roses and spray roses, a few of those special Stephanotis flowers and plenty of greenery varieties. The smell was intoxicating!
