the wedding: october 1, 2011












There is nothing better than when two people that are so amazing fall in love and get married. Congratulations to two of my favorite friends, Bridgette and Britton! They chose the Humboldt Park Boathouse with its architectural glory as their spot to tie the knot. A crisp October day, the sky coulnd't have been more blue nor a day more perfect. I was honored to create the bouquets, boutonnieres, and table arrangements for them... and it was so fun that orange was their color! They gave away small pots of locally made honey at the reception complete with their BB wedding logo... oh how clever a pair with art and design backgrounds can be! Cheers to the BBs!!

wedding succulents




When I found out a few months ago that I would be doing the flowers for my good friends' wedding, I started growing a variety of succulents to use for their big day. And that day was yesterday. I had a set of vintage wooden bowls that were perfect for these arrangements. I had so much fun making them! More photos from their beautiful wedding coming soon!
