There are endless ways to edit these natural beauties. You can get a light, soft feel similar to the image below. You can also go with a burst of warm or cool color like the last two photos.

Echeveria, kalanchoe, haworthia. Whatever the type, succulents have made their way into our big day and in a big way! Succulents have a unique beauty all their own, and when paired with pretty blooms there is no stopping them! They are seen in ceremony decor, centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, and used as favors.

spring sweet

The wedding of Hilary and Jake was spring sweetness! Fluffy flowers, a manicured garden, and a tower of yumminess! Hilary chose a precious palette of peach, yellow, blush, grey, and white. Moss pomanders and sheer fabric hung in the trees behind the ceremony space and vintage milkglass collections filled the guests tables. As the sun went down, cafe lights strung over the garden created a romantic dreamy atmosphere…

a sweet celebration!

A masse of one type of bloom: classic, modern, vintage. Depending on the flower you choose to carry down the aisle, your look can be as varied as the seasons. Above, blush football mums are girly and textural.


Antique yellow garden roses are clean and classic. Fragrant lilac reads loose and vintage.


Bold coral charm peony are always a favorite. Romantic and lush.


Soft creamy ranunculus appear timeless. White winter berry is full of texture and great alternative to the traditional big bloom.


Palest of Pink dahlia are sculptural and modern.


Cascading calla lilies are both architectural and romantic in this bouquet. White anemones with their dark black center are graphic and dramatic…an eye catcher.
