Frutig Farms The Valley Wedding | Ann Arbor Wedding Flowers

It was a stunning summer celebration for Courtney and Dennis - so excited to share this one! So many beautiful details in this warm palette of sunset tones, and it was so beautiful against the backdrop of tall grasses and wood details at Frutig Farms The Valley. The chuppah decor was soft and elegant - making it feel special in the summer sun. The elevated pieces in the reception gave it a focal splash of color in the barn. This was such a wonderful group! Thank you so much to Heather Jowett for these beautiful images.

Cornman Farms Wedding | Spring wedding flowers by red poppy floral design ann arbor

It was such a joy to get to work with Kara and Andrew and their family on the beautiful flowers for their Zingerman’s Cornman Farms wedding. It was a perfect spring day and the colors and the garden feel of these blooms was joyful and vibrant, soft and elegant. The chuppah was created by the groom’s father and we added lovely greens and floral accents, but we kept it simple and let the special made-with-love structure shine. We created a beautiful focal piece at the head table in the center of the tent - an elevated floral structure that brought soft color and a sense of something special into the tent for dining. Thank you to Chelsea Brown Photography for these beautiful images - they are stunning!

Autumn Downtown Ann Arbor Wedding | Red Poppy Wedding Flowers

Downtown Ann Arbor is just gorgeous in the fall - it’s such a lovely time for a wedding when all your friends and family can walk downtown for drinks and brunch and enjoy all the new art and murals downtown - so special! It was such a joy to get to create these flowers for Miranda and Harry’s wedding downtown - with a ceremony at the Ann Arbor Art Center and reception at Zingerman’s Greyline. The Greyline is a freshly renovated old downtown bus station, with the classic bus station signage still out front and a sophisticated, retro vibe inside. I loved designing these chuppah flowers against the brick walls at the Ann Arbor Art Center - a perfect warm terracotta tone for an autumn day. Thank you to Abby Rose Photo for these beautiful images!

Ann Arbor summer wedding | Ann Arbor wedding flowers

2020 brought so many challenges. So many weddings were rescheduled and changed and adjusted, and we were so grateful for those that could celebrate safely. Alana and Guillaume changed their wedding from UMMA to Alana’s home, and their celebration was just beautiful. So many beautiful colors and tones and textures made for bouquets and arrangements that were at home “at home” but also elegant and special. It was the best of both both worlds - a special, elegant celebration with the unique comforts of being at home. The chuppah design was bright and lush, and we loved all these beautiful images by Amanda Dumouchelle of Inly.

Michigan League Wedding | Ann Arbor Wedding Flowers

This was the time last year when the white lilac was in perfect bloom at just the right time. It was magnificent. Though we can often order lots of different flowers and materials, nature still has some special things that you can only really get locally and for a limited amount of time. So when you get one of those special things at the right time, it can feel that bit extra special - a little bit of magic.

And I couldn’t have been more happy for all of these beautiful things for Shannon and Michael. Everything about this day was joyful. Their friends and family were so fantastic and fun - I remember all during set up this group was just having a wonderful time - it felt like a celebration already and it was a joy to be a part of it.

Together with the lilac, these pieces featured anemone, garden roses, hellebore, orchids, ranunculus, astrantia - so many beautiful things! We had the most amazing chuppah by modernly events and I just loved the chuppah decor here. So many lovely accents in classic navy and art deco design details (those bridesmaid dresses!) and the cake! There is joy in every gorgeous picture by Matt & Ashley - there is not a one in the bunch where these two aren’t enjoying every minute. Beautiful, classic, joyful family celebration - it was such an honor to be a part of this very special day.
