Classic Meets Burlap and Lace

Let's start out by saying that the greatest weddings are those that stay true to the couple--how they met, their interests, little quirks, and all the hilarious moments they have shared together. This couple, Kristin and Matt, not only incorporated themselves into this wedding, but their creative family and friends too. Oh, and we might want to mention that they had the help of a fabulous photographer too, Tyler Branch. Check out his website here. Since we could go on forever about this wedding, let's just highlight some of our favorite things:

Kristin chose a classic Cascade Bouquet. Let's face it, we don't often see these beauties anymore, and it's so refreshing to see again. It's beautiful, classic, and chic...much like our bride.

Mismatched bridesmaid dresses. We love how Kristin let her girls choose what flattered them, and it helped to create a classic yet casual vibe.





Each table was named after a location that played an important part in the Kristin and Matt's journey.








Don't you feel the warmth simply by looking at the photos? It was a truly intimate, welcoming wedding and we were so honored to have been a  part of it. We are wishing Kristin and Matt the very best!!! Here's to spreading floral love!

Intimate Backyard Wedding

Who doesn't love backyard weddings? More importantly, who doesn't love backyard weddings with a live band, vintage/shabby chic details, and the prettiest garden?

Kitty and Noel got married in a place very dear to our hearts--the historic Los Rios Street. We were overjoyed to be a part of this wedding at one of the houses in our lovely neighborhood. Kitty and Noel wanted their wedding to be about unity, insisting that there was no "bride's side" or "groom's side." Their backyard was transformed, with the help of family and friends, into an intimate gathering place--perfect for the biggest (and no doubt prettiest) family celebration.  It must be said that Kitty has the cutest style, she manages Anthropologie in Newport!  How amazing is her dress??? 

We also got to meet a fantastic photographer, Trina Roberts of Paperwhites Photography. Her photos captured the intimacy and sweet details of the day, and she was kind enough to share them with us. Enjoy!











Congrats to Kitty and Noel! Their wedding was a beautiful example of two families coming together, and all the love and happiness that should surround a couple for the rest of their lives. Thank you for letting us spread floral love on the historic Los Rios Street.

Rustic + Chic Villa Wedding

The moment we met Holly and Kyle, there was no doubt in our minds that their there wedding would be a blast for everyone. Their fun-loving, outgoing, and ultra-chic style translated into a drool-worthy wedding! We used a lot of natural and organic elements--such as sunflowers, grasses, feathers, shades of brown and forest green, seeds, and pods--to create a laid-back yet sophisticated feel. Every table had a completely different design using vintage bottles and accessories. For the bride's bouquet we used a stunning mix of rich, rustic colors along with an antique chain wrap to create texture. What else did we love? The birch ceremony arch and the zipper bridesmaid dresses!








We burnt the table numbers into pieces of wood to create a rustic vibe.




Peacock feathers were the perfect addition to the decor because of their luxurious and dramatic colors. 







The hanging bottles and pom-poms created a multidimensional ceremony area.
We love the use of "above space" at weddings. :)


Thank you Holly and Kyle for letting us be a part of your wedding. It was truly beautiful, and we were so proud to be spreading floral love...rustic-style.
