The Not Wedding

bloom is super excited to be a part of this very cool wedding show at the end of the month. I was first inspired by the pastel mini marshmallows and now have a complete inspiration board to share with you. For all the details about the show - which is hosted by Atlanta Occasions Magazine - go to www.TheNotWeddingAtlanta.com.

Tulips

bloom is working on Sunday! A client is having a dinner party this evening and wanted something to complement a sage green, yellow, and red color palette.

Gorgeous Van Dyke tulips from Holland tucked amongst camellia, acuba and english ivy foliage.


Sweet little beaded dragonfly vase adornment.


I know I've posted this before, but tulips keep growing even after they are cut so these stems will lengthen and curve and become more 'wildly' natural as the days go on. I personally think this is awesome, if you don't like that look the individual stems can be pulled out, trimmed and replaced to keep the arrangement neat and tidy.


She's getting ready to burst forth and show her stuff!

King Plow - Erica and Chet

Thanks to Our Labor of Love for these fabulous photos of Erica and Chet's wedding at King Plow. Erica is a talented graphic designer and truly put her soul into all the little details. She also designed her beautiful, flowy gown.
Her colors were pale yellow and a pastel teal. My favorite part, besides the flowers (!), are the paper doves she designed and hung from the ceiling over the vow site. Simple + beautiful.
The ever popular all-ranunculus bouquet.






Carving and drilling are also part of Erica's talents. The wedding was just before Halloween.









They had a giant video screen backdrop for the dance floor. Cool idea.




The classic wedding "mop" shot - ;).
Glad to be a part of this one. All the best to Erica and Chet!
