Tayiba + Javier at The Solarium in Oakhurst

A lovely bride was Tayiba! 

She was looking for something "fresh, green and a little unusual" for her wedding flowers.  Her collection was comprised of delicate maidenhair fern, hypericum berries, green cymbidum orchids, super green roses, eucalyptus seeds, fiddlehead fern, kalanchoe, kermit poms, lily grass, dendrobium orchids, chocolate cosmos and all kinds of succulents for a beautiful, windy day in May.

Her girls wore all different styles of the 'little black dress'.  And the wind made Tayiba's veil take on a life of it's own!

I love this shot of the veil!

 Javier's boutonniere had a few strands of "explosion grass" to add a touch of whimsy.

For the buffet, a large glass cylinder vase was filled with small river rock and fiddlehead fern shoots at the bottom.  The topper was similar to the bridal bouquet with a few lily grass swirlies!

Centerpieces were like little wild terrariums.

 Classic groom's cake.

The flowers couldn't have matched the ribbon on the cake any better.

The firehouse across the street always provides a fun backdrop.

The ceremony and reception were held at The Solarium in Oakhurst.  One of my favorite venues (and not because I live in the neighborhood ;)

Hiawassee - Brittany and David

Finally! The photos are rolling in! Let's go back to Brittany and David's wedding in Hiawasee at the beginning of May.



A misty lakeside ceremony was spared a rain shower.

I couldn't resist this birdhouse shot.

Brittany's bouquet was comprised of white peonies, white sweet pea, green cymbidium orchids and maidenhair fern. We used lace from her mother's wedding gown to wrap the bouquets.

Boutonnieres for the guys were white and purple sweet pea with a sprig of maidenhair fern.

The girls' eggplant dresses were complemented by white and purple sweet pea, green cymbidium orchids and maidenhair fern bouquets.

I love this image of one of the mother's posy with the bridesmaid's in the background. You can see they had some of the wedding gown lace too.

The lake was so many different colors of grey and green that day. It was a shimmery backdrop to the ceremony.

And, another photo with no flowers, but love it!

May Madness - begins...

It's busy, busy, busy here at bloom. Here's a little peek at what's going on...

The GBAA (Ga. Business Aviation Assoc.) dinner at Evergreen Resort. Hydrangea, hanging amaranthus, sea thistle

And a rehearsal dinner at Wahoo - (a Decatur favorite)

Pincushion protea, sea thistle, euforia roses, white boronia (a type of heather), celosia, myrtle and bear grass.

The studio is full! (and yet, I found a little time to blog...imagine.)
