Real Weddings: Annie + Nicole's Woodmark Hotel Waterfront Wedding


Oh, I seriously love these girls. Annie (maybe a little proudly) stated at her first meeting that she didn't really think she needed flowers, but her planner was insisting on it. By the end of the meeting though, she had a little gleam in her eye. And on her wedding day, I could tell those flowers (and Nicole!) made her heart pound. And after? THE MOST appreciate couple ever. Emails, cards, FB comments, and a huge print they ordered from (incredibly awesome) Gabriel Boone of the bouquet. Not of Annie holding the bouquet. Not the bouquet next to her wedding dress. Not even the bouquet on one of their pretty tables. Just a shot of her bouquet standing all by itself.  The report is that it is hanging proudly in a place of honor in their home, because Annie just couldn't bear to part with it. How's that for not needing flowers?

















And congrats ladies on your recent LEGAL!!!!! Wedding 2.0!!!! I was honored, thrilled, and humbled to contribute. It's not often I get repeat customers (thank goodness!) but this was for the best reason in the world. xoxo

The photos - by such skilled photographers of course - quite nearly capture the original, amazing beauty of the occasion, that was so lovely thanks to your talented touch. It quite literally takes my breath away! Bravo!

What incredible flowers they were, so lovely and magical! What were the flowers hanging with greenery from the chairs? I need these at my wedding! Love!

Hi AM! The white flowers on the chairs are stems of white dendrobium orchids. I love how drapey they are!

I love the post, which so beautifully shows your talent. Your work is eye catching beautiful and creative--nothing usual or run of the mill about what you did for Annie's and Nicole's wedding day last June. I'll never forget the white orchids on ribbons suspended from the tent, waving in the gentle breeze, with a fabulous sunset as a backdrop. I snapped so many pictures of the flowers and have listened to the rave reviews by two friends who really know their flowers and arranging. Knowing what you did working within the girls' budget makes your accomplishment that much more noteworthy.

Oh Ruth! Thank you so, so much for your kind words. I admit, I loved those orchids floating in the breeze too. I so appreciated being party of your family's celebration and your compliments!

Oh orchids, of course! I remember how magical the floating strings of orchids were--such talent! Great work!!!
