One of my favorite things about this job, is that I get to imagine a different wedding with every inspiration board. In this one, I wanted to combine playfulness and chic sophistication: orange and pink plus soft gray, retro wedding bells meet gorgeous calligraphy, a mini dress with long sleeves, cocktails and sweets following a city hall ceremony. This is an inspiration board I would love to see brought to life!

Hi everyone! Have you ever wonder how they grow this enormous flower? They don’t! It is handmade! The florist starts with one single rose which is glued on a circular piece of styrofoam and then takes individual petals and hot glues them one by one to form one large flower. It is called a Glamelia (I think that is how to spell it ) and it is one of my favorite bouquets. Ask your florist if they have made one before…if not for your bouquet it looks great as a centerpiece or on cocktail tables.... |
