Lisa and Nate's Loveless Barn Wedding

We are going to miss working with Lisa and Nate. We are so blessed to have such great clients that allow us to help them create their special day. The pictures below really show all the details and the couples personal touches. Lisa and Nate wanted to have a fun southern wedding but still have a well executed day, so they hired us to help with that. From the flowers to making sure there was a  s'mores bar for their guest. We were there to make sure that everything was taken care of. 

Please enjoy the pictures below!



We loved how Lisa and Nate decided to make her wedding party the center of the room by adding a large farm table.

Valentine's Inspired Wedding

We wanted to share some Valentine's Day wedding inspiration. If you have a Valentine's Day wedding you can add pops of blush and white.  Incorporate subtle heart accents along with various shaped mercury glass vases. One of our couples released lanterns with guests. The bride and groom's lantern was shaped like a heart for good luck. Let our team help you plan your perfect Valentine's Day wedding or event.

Wedding Trends For 2015

British Inspiration: The stylish details below bring to mind afternoon tea and garden parties.  Tables are often uncovered or simply adorned with a vintage lace cloth. Lush garlands get turned into runners and loosely styled floral centerpieces hang from above.

Popular Floral Design: Garden roses, juliet roses, peonies, hydrangeas, dahlias and ranunculus continue to be go-to favorites among brides. These flower are elegant but simply chic.

Greenery: We are seeing more and more greenery. Herbs like rosemary and mint, lemon leaf, magnolia leaf, and ivy.  Greenery is being used as table runners or chair swags, to frame cocktail menus and to give vintage chandeliers a soft look.

Champagne fun: Champagne towers and bars have returned! A more casual, colorful option: mixing in fruit purées to create a signature cocktail that matches your color palette.

Cocktails: Craft beer; shots of different bourbons; wine samplings; sangria or soda bar; couples are letting guests sample their favorite drink or signature family beverage. These types of different drink stations are a great way to engage your guests

Family-style dining. Guest interaction is a big goal for today's couples.
Just a taste: Tasting stations are a great way for couples to show off their favorite foods in manageable portions. 

The Cake: Couples are choosing cake flavors that are rooted in their hometowns or family heritage, where they began dating or a favorite destination. A popular cake we will see more of in 2015 is the naked cake (pictured below).

Texture and more texture: Lace patterns, pleats, and textured material also remain strong trends for brides going for a vintage or soft, romantic feel. For a modern wedding, the texture might be a herringbone or other geometric pattern.
