August has been on my mind a lot lately.  It really is a beautiful month to get married in, although it’s also a reminder that summer all too soon will be coming to an end.  Becca and John got married in August.  It was the most picturesque day.  The heat of summer was all around […]

Peonies, black and white stripes, gold accents… and that’s just the start of Ryan and Jen’s stunning day.  Jen is so stylish, chic and GORGEOUS, making her day beautiful was a piece of cake.  And I love how even though their celebration took place in a classic club location, the way it was photographed almost […]

A couple month’s ago one of the awesome ladies from Style Me Pretty reached out asking if I’d mind breaking down and sharing all the ingredients to Christina’s lovely autumn bouquet (you may remember Tim & Christina’s wedding was featured on their blog here last spring).  It was so special being asked, as I feel […]

Photography: Katy O’Dell Photography I’m often asked to detail all the flowers clients will see at their wedding – outline for them each little bloom. I don’t do that. And it’s not because I’m afraid of them stealing my floral recipe or divulging my deep dark secrets, it’s really because I don’t know. It’s that […]

This might seem like a silly post. Everyone knows how to RSVP for a wedding, right? It seems so obvious. But oddly enough, it’s been one of my biggest battles this year – gathering the guest count!

It saddens me that nearly a month has passed since my last post.  I love blogging.  I love sharing tidbits, advice and thoughts about weddings and life in general with all my amazing readers.  So when busy takes over and I cannot find a moment to clear my head, write a sentence or much less […]

I have something that I like to refer to as my Wedding Bucket List.  This basically means that there are certain vendors that I long to work with, venues that I’m dying to design in and floral combinations that make me so weak in the knees that if I were able to actually hold them […]

Last week I had another one of my real weddings published on Style Me Pretty.  The wedding itself was a dream and I could look at the pictures (and video!!) over and over again and never tire of them.  And having your work featured on such a large platform is forever an honor – even […]

I love Michigan.  Beautiful lakes, gorgeous views and my forever home.  But sometimes the weather can be just a tad unpredictable for me.  Today the windchills are hovering somewhere around -15°, I can’t really tell you how cold that it because I simply refuse to leave the house.  Flashback to June.  June is usually a […]

As I’m sitting here today watching the wind and drifting snow… and extremely grateful for my new weatherproof windows (!!), I can’t help but think back to the time of year when the anticipation of snow was high.  I couldn’t wait for some white, fluffy frosting to cover our gray world that fall left behind.  […]
