Erin and Bill were married this past August and I am excited to have the professional pictures from Bellus Photo and Film in my hands.
Erin was a delight to work with and made such a gorgeous bride. I loved that it was very important for her to have her grandmother's rosary included in the handle of her bouquet.
The service was held at St Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Gretna. I loved the contemporary setting of this new church.
The unity candle had a floating candle instead of a pillar candle, which I loved. Erin purchased the vase that had love notes on it.
Erin and Bill's reception was at the LaVista Conference Center and featured three different purple and green arrangements.
Congratulations to the two of you! It has been a true pleasure!
Samantha and Nolan didn't necessarily plan their wedding date for Cinco De Mayo, but when it landed on the 5th day of May, they couldn't help but choose lime green, navy and add a twist of lime. Thanks to Amber Durr Photography http://amberdurrphotography.com/ for the great pictures.
The wedding ceremony and reception were held at the Scoular Ballroom in Omaha. We created an aisle for them using large cylinders filled with limes and green branches.
We created a vase with a special message inscribed on it about loved ones who were not able to be present at the wedding, but lived on in happy memories.
Samantha had seen the
bouquet she wanted from a picture on my website and so we recreated that
bouquet and added just a little more sparkle and grass loops to make it
her own.
Her bridesmaids carried calla lily sheaths. I love this type of bouquet. It is simple and elegant and very easy to carry.
Reception pieces used white callas, variegated leaves, green hydrangea, and dark blue delphinium.
What an honor to get to design the wedding flowers for Nichole and Drew. I have known Nichole for a few years through her teaching career and through her younger sister, but I had never really had the opportunity to sit down and visit with her. She is a delight and we had lots of fun meeting over coffee with her mom to go over wedding details. She had chosen the decadent color palette of mocha, chocolate, and ivory. Sahara roses, white peonies, white orchids, and antiqued hydrangea were in her ivory bouquet. To match the rich chocolatey dresses her bridesmaids wore we chose amnesia roses, hydrangea, chocolate cosmos, chocolate lace flower, and creamy garden roses. Thanks to J and K Photography http://j-kphoto.com/ and Amanda Fish http://www.amandafishphotography.com/ , Nichole's cousin, for the photographs. They are stunning!
Here are the bouquets. The bride's bouquet is always delivered in a pretty box.
Love the sunbrellas!!
What a sweet moment for Nichole and her mom. Pam's corsage was made on a rhinestone bracelet that coordinated with her jewelry. White orchids, chocolate cosmos, and amnesia roses made up her wrist corsage.
One quick phone call in late winter from Danielle and I knew that this was going to be a terrific wedding to design for. Danielle had picked yellow, white, and navy for her colors and when she told me that she wanted a crisp clean look with just a hint of a nautical vibe I was hooked. Yellow gerberas, baby's breath, cremone mums, dyed navy sea holly, hydrangea, and scabiosa pods all came to mind as things that would look great with the spunky navy and white striped ribbon that she had chosen to tie the bouquets with. We also chose metal buckets, navy printed pottery, and bubble bowls to design the centerpieces in. A few great big starfish from her new mother-in-law and some beautiful printed table squares that she had made for the occasion and we were set to go.
Ever Lovely Photography, http://everlovelyphotography.com/blog/, took the most beautiful pictures of the wedding and they were sweet enough to share with me. Here are a few of the highlights.
Best wishes Danielle and Jon. It has been an honor to get to know you.

Every year a great group of mom's gets together at the Methodist Church in Fremont for a spring tea. I have enjoyed getting to design some of the flowers for their event. This year their theme had a gardeny feel. Each table featured a different tea cup or small vintage pitcher that looked like it was left in the garden and found full of flowers and garden creatures like butterflies, lady bugs, and frogs.
Tami and Jesse were married on a pretty May afternoon. Perfect for Tami's vision of bright, happy, springtime colors and lots of sparkle.
Tami's bouquet was made of stephanotis, 'Furore" gerberas, "Margarita" gerberas, magenta roses, and orange milva roses. The handle was wrapped with a rhinestone band and a collar of rhinestone drops framed the bouquet.
Tami requested simple understated bouquets for the bridesmaids, a beautiful choice with the vibrant colored dresses.
Jesse's boutonniere was wrapped with just a touch of sparkle to match the handle on Tami's bouquet.
The ceremony took place at the Arlington Community Church. We lined the pews with cones filled with pink wax flower, seeded eucalyptus, and gerberas.
The reception followed the ceremony at the Fremont Golf Club. This was Tami's toss bouquet. The tables featured pink and orange table runners and napkins with clusters of gerbera daisies in crystal filled vases.
It was an honor to design Tami and Jesse's wedding flowers. I had so much fun with this color scheme. Thanks to Meri Valentin for the gorgeous pics.
The service was held at St Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Gretna. I loved the contemporary setting of this new church.
The unity candle had a floating candle instead of a pillar candle, which I loved. Erin purchased the vase that had love notes on it.
