Blogity, blog, blog, blog.....

Blogging doesn't come easy for me.  My creativity is through my floral design.  Thank goodness for all the wonderful wedding bloggers out there!!  Thank you for showcasing our work so we can stick to what we're good at :)  I do however understand the importance of blogging so you all can see what we are up to in our world and what we are keeping tabs on.

Soooo.....if you haven't seen them already, here are the blogs we were featured on this year....drum roll please!

We are a preferred vendor with this great website/blog and so proud of it.....THE WEDDING CHICKS

They say that if you are featured on STYLE ME PRETTY, you've got a lot to be proud of.  I'm especially proud of the comment by Abby the writer: "If I have to call dibs on one element that has completely won me over...it would have to be the flowers by Stacey Fitts.  The holy-cow-gorgeous flowers!"

Our next few blog features were from styled shoots I provided some florals for and helped set up the sets along side some pretty amazing and talented professionals.

ROCK AND ROLL BRIDE is a great blog with the writer residing and mostly blogging about weddings in England.  Her blog is so much fun and she is one cool chick!  For her to feature our shoot, was a big honor.  Sugar & Fluff Design and Crissy Farah invited me to take part in this end of the year "we're over these trends, but their not going anywhere" funfest.  Our model Molly is my daughter Sydnee's best friend, she rocked it!!

Blogs and Magazines

This has for sure been the year of the wedding blog.  It has always been my goal to be published somehow, mostly in a magazine, but I have realized the importance of blogs and how much of an impact they have on the wedding industry.  It seems that brides are using blogs more than magazines.  I'm more tactile (duh, I'm a floral designer) so I love flipping through the pages of a new wedding magazine and the rush I get when I see something truly beautiful, even if it's an add for a new gorgeous bridal gown.  In the next few posts, I will share with you my blog features, but today...... the magazine feature!

My new found friends, the design team of Sugar and Fluff (hire them if you want to have a truly amazing event) and photographer extraordinaire Christine Farah  (who actually was responsible for my first blog feature in 2008), invited me to be part of a styled shoot that was to be featured in Volume 3 of Southern Weddings Magazine.  Here are the results from Sugar and Fluff's blog post.  We did get a few of the photos published :)  We've worked together on some other amazing styled shoots, and of coarse I will share those with you too!!

See the editorial here from Southern Weddings Magazine's website.

ENJOY!!

Wooohooooo!! Hello my readers! We have been blog overload this past week and we hope you enjoy it!
When Christine Farah asked us to help her out on this project…we were so thrilled!
She told us that Southern Weddings were looking for the next cover— and they were looking for a summery feel. So we decided to add summer shades of luminous oranges and splashes of blue. As you can tell we added the orange in the florals and in her make-up and cake. We thought the perfect dress would be from J-Crew of course and our model had to look like the perfect warm and welcoming Southern bride! Isn’t the backdrop of the lake so picturesque?  I think we nailed it pretty well!! This is what a Southern Bride means to us :) Big thanks to our AMAZING team!!
