Sana Silvera Oct 3, 2010

Sana is a beautiful young lady who came to us with a very special vision for her wedding.. it was always about the shoes!  As you can see, stunning.

She ran into a bit of bad luck and had to cut out all reception and ceremony decor because her house was broken into by burglers and it really set her back financially.. just 2 weeks before the wedding.  One of our services is a 'Pick Up Wedding' - typically the personal flowers.. everything designed and boxed for pickup.  Her coordinator picked up the flowers Sunday morning and Sana sent us these two pics of her bouquet.  Thought we would share.

The great news..the police think they have captured the burgler... hope so.  Best wishes Sana!

Thank yous from one of our 9-18 brides

Received this Sunday, Sept 19, after a very long wedding & reception day... Atlanta Botanical Gardens:

Hello everyone!

As I am running around unpacking wedding stuff and packing for our fabulous Mexican honeymoon, I just wanted to take a minute to THANK YOU ALL!!!  Marc and I had an absolutely amazing day yesterday- what a wonderful way to start our new life together!!!  Everything was perfect- or if it wasn't someone fixed it before I ever knew it!

Thank you all so much for all of your efforts to make sure everything was just as we had envisioned it, or better!  

Joe- the ceremony was beautiful, thank you so much for your thoughtful words.

Mandi- the bridesmaids looked beautiful!

Rodica- thank you so much for taking Katharine's dress and making sure it fit me as beautifully as it fit her 10 years ago and making sure I wore it well all day!

Thank you all again- it was a day we'll never forget!

Heather and Marc

Jill McAdaragh & Stephen Timlin

We promised you images of a very unusual bridal bouquet... well, here it is, along with images from the reception at JW Marriott.  These photos were taken by me, either with my Nikon or the new iPhone 4.

Jill's bouquet had no flowers in it, rather, she opted for her favorite plant --succulents!  We used Aeonium, Echeverria and sedums for the bouquet.  Her bridesmaids were in true Teal dresses, so we added an accent of Teal colored pins for a splash of color - something she didn't expect. 

Her reception was equally as innovative.. she wanted monobotanic (one plant/variety) and monocromatic.. so tables had a grouping of glass vases, each with one type of flower... surrounded by frosted votives.  The head table was very grand... use of silver on silver.   Cake table was covered in lace panels provided by mother of the groom and the piano (used as sign in) was also covered with lace panels.... always a nice touch.

Jill & Stephen August 21, 2010

This weekend finds us preparing the florals for Jill McAdaragh & Stephen Timlin.  Stephen's family is hosting the rehearsal dinner at The City Club of Buckhead on Friday evening.  Jill & Stephen will exchange vows Saturday at the beautiful Peachtree Road United Methodist Church, and host the reception at the JW Marriott at Lenox Square.

Jill has chosen to carry a bouquet that is not really floral... she really loves the archetectural nature of succulents.  Her bridal bouquet will be primarily various succulents... should be gorgeous..  I will post photos once it is designed.  Her attendents will carry green & white bouquets.

Congratulations to you both Jill & Stephen... we'll see you Saturday!!

Kathryn & Joe - King Plow August 7, 2010

Here's a sneak preview of the florals designed for Kathryn & Joe last Saturday at King Plow.  Kathryn is Philipino and Joe's family is very Italian.  They incorporated very bright colors (yellow is Kathryn's fave).. in the ceremony & reception.
