Chris and MaryAnn Bjorkman ~ May 22, 2011

On May 22 of this year, I had the privilege to do the wedding flowers for my beautiful cousin MaryAnn and her new husband Chris. In MaryAnn I was fortunate enough to have a bride with a clear concept of what she wanted for her wedding, planning the day to perfection. She made everything quite easy for me :) 
In addition to being organized, MaryAnn had an amazing vision...she wanted her flowers to be predominately white, and to look like they were just plucked from an English country garden. Needless to say I was crazy about her ideas! We decided to use white peonies,  hydrangeas,  tulips, roses, stock, dusty miller, and a few gardenias scattered in for fragrance! I LOVED working with these flowers, and it was a pleasure to help make her ideas a reality. Their ceremony was very special and intimate with only immediate family, and then they joined friends and extended family at the Signature at West Neck Country Club for a fabulous reception. Enjoy the pictures below!

In addition to offering their guests a delicious cake, Chris and MaryAnn provided a candy bar that was a feast for the eyes as well as the palate! MaryAnn creatively coordinated the candy with the predominate color used in her wedding, which was blue. What a fabulous idea!!

Sam and Kathryn get married!!

Its been a while since I posted here, but I trust the pictures from this fabulous wedding in May will more than make up for the time lost! I had the honor to do flowers for Sam and Kathryn Crain, who got married on May 22, 2011. Kathryn's style was sophisticated with whites and creams, yet playful with punches of orange. It was a pleasure to bring her floral visions to life! 
The happy couple...I'm crazy about her headpiece!
did I add that I'm crazy about her shoes as well?!
Roses and alstromeria...simple and stylish.



I love how Kathryn gave her bridesmaids alternating bouquets of orange  roses with white alstromeria, and white roses with orange alstromeria...a fun idea for any brides out there looking for inspiration!


Congratulations Sam and Kathryn...thanks for including me in your special day!
