A long hiatus from blogging I am back with a vengeance!
Hope you enjoy my pretty finds and sweet ideas.

This is a design from Yvonne Design.

I’ve had this photo saved for a while though and just can’t get over how adorable this centerpiece is. I had to share it with you. Thier work is AMAZING!

Kudos!

This was the cutest little wedding ever- if I do say so. The ceremony and reception were held at Ski Esta, Newry, ME over looking the Sunday River Ski Resort in Maine. In this crazy beautiful chateau (wowing everyone), the mood was set. The bride did the centerpieces and most of the decor herself and then brought in the professional (moi) to complete the look.

I designed a semi arch of curly willow branches, droopy eucalyptus leaves, variegated Italian pit, royal blue hybrid delphinium, abundant white hydrangea and white dendrobium orchids- to finish the look we added hanging candles. It was lovely if I do say so myself.

The bride’s bouquet was so sweet and luxuriant- we included ivory roses, white peonies, white freesia, white ranunculus, ivory sweet peas finished with a touch of dusty miller. The handle was wrapped in raw silk ribbon with a fluffy bow at the top (I’m not generally a bow person but this worked!).

The maids carried lush bouquets of fluffy white peonies with the handles wrapped in navy grosgrain ribbon- simple and chic all the way.

This pictures were to pretty not to keep large. Details need to be seen.

Me and my husband, Danny, made a week long vacation out of this destination wedding. We got to see tons of sites on the way. We went to New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and technically Utah.

Being a designer Alana already had an idea of what she was looking for, and it was my job to make it happen. Her color scheme was White, Green and Brown. The arrangements were a gathered vase look, with assorted sized vases with single blooms in each vessel. The flowers we used were hydrangea, button mums, coxcomb, stock and tulips. The center of the table had a large piece designed with birch branches and hanging candles, we stuck the branches in hard foam and covered the foam with fresh green moss.

The ceremony took place about 30 minuets north, at a lake in the San Juan National Forest. Alana and Charles stood on a dock that jutted out on the Lake. The backdrop was amazing and the pristine weather didn’t hurt the situation either.

The reception took place at the Silver Pick Lodge about twenty five miles north of Durango Colorado. A gorgeous mountain lodge at 8776.66 feet, it’s located in the enormous San Juan National Forest, surrounded by mountains, cliffs and forest.

I love the green blooms added to the red and pink it really brightens up the look, great for a spring wedding.
