Orange and coral wedding flowers at Grosse Pointe Academy

A lovely pop of color today!  Orange, coral and peach wedding flowers for a wedding and reception at Grosse Pointe Academy.  The bride and bridesmaids' bouquets featured peach juliet garden roses, orange dahlias, orange and coral zinnias, orange ranunculus, white and peach matthiola, and mint scented geranium foliage - a lovely pop of color to go with navy blue bridesmaids dresses.  The centerpieces for the tented reception featured coral and and orange zinnias, yellow ranunculus, and burgundy snapdragons and astrantia in a classic dark wood box.  The gorgeous zinnias were from our local Seeley Farm - beautiful!

Loved these orange ranunculus boutonnieres for the groomsmen - a bright, joyful pop of color

Spring Cottonwood Barn Wedding

So thrilled to share these images with you of Christine and Matthew's spring wedding at Cottonwood Barn in Saline.  Cottonwood is such a gorgeous venue, and Christine has such an eye for design and thoughtfully planned so many beautiful accents to add warmth and color to barn (I posted a few quick snaps of the reception set-up here).  I loved working with Christine and she loved so many different textures and elements - a fun design to work on!  Her favorite flower is carnations - and I just love that this design allowed me to showcase carnations and use them in an elegant way.  These stunning images are from Lamarand Style Photography - just amazing!  Congratulations Christine and Matthew!  

The brides and bridesmaids' bouquets featured raspberry pink peonies, succulents, peach carnations, peach juliet garden roses, queen anne's lace, and a mix of textured foliages arranged in a gentle, natural look.  Christine's bouquet also featured white clematis and peonies.

Does this flower girl love her job, or what?  Her floral crown features textured foliage and peach and white ranunculus.  And I loved the moss aisle runner - such a great way to bring natural elements indoors!

The table centerpieces featured several different designs, all on moss table runners to add an element of green and nature to the room.  This collection centerpieces featured arrangements in rectangular whitewashed wood boxes, as well as candleholders in mercury glass and white.

Ann Arbor City Club Wedding

I can still smell the garden roses and lavender from this bride's bouquet!  Loved using so many herbs and beautiful foliages for a natural, fragrant, elegant bouquet for this wedding at First Baptist Church Ann Arbor and Ann Arbor City Club Reception.  Thank you so much to Kristine Crawford Photography for these beautiful images, and so nice as always to work with Luna Soiree  Events on this wedding.

Colony Club wedding

Loved creating these soft blush and ivory flowers for Rachel and Brian's sophisticated celebration at the Colony Club in Detroit.   The soft tones looked so elegant with the lush gold and candlelight in the room - it was magical!  Congratulations Rachel and Brian, and thank you so much to Photography by Scarlett for these stunning images - so gorgeous, it was so hard to choose favorites!  For more images of this wedding, check out Scarlett's blog - these guys took amazing photos all over detroit!  

Rachel's bouquet featured beautiful white peonies and accents of pale pink astilbe, and her bridesmaids included pale pink garden roses, peach juliet garden roses, white freesia and pale pink spray roses.

This is one of my favorite corsages of the season so far - petite and elegant, and I love the hint of texture from the pale pink astilbe.

University of Michigan Union spring wedding

It was so nice to hear from Anna and Chris who were married last year at the University of Michigan Union.  Chris asked for flowers reminiscent of Anna's bouquet for their first anniversary in May - what a guy!  And they sent me these gorgeous images from their wedding by Lennon Photo.  Thank you Anna and Chris, and congratulations on your first anniversary!  

The bride's bouquet featured coral charm and white peonies, fuchsia and lavender freesia, peach juliet garden roses, and blue nigella, white the bridesmaids flowers featured coral charm peonies and peach parrot tulips.

Centerpieces for the University of Michigan Union Ballroom included coral charm peonies bursting open along with sweet-smelling local lilac.

The wedding ceremony was in the gorgeous Pendleton Room at the University of Michigan Union, and Anna walked down an aisle lined with white petals - she was just radiant!

Spring waldenwoods wedding

One of my very first weddings this year - with beautiful images captured by Colleen Schmidt Photography. (and I nominate Colleen's preview for the best first dance images ever!) It was such a pleasure designing for Katie and Chad with this joyful spring color palate, so perfect on a beautiful day at Waldenwoods.

The bride and bridesmaids bouquets featured white peonies, pink romantic antike garden roses, yellow ranunculus, succulents, white matthiola, and peach juliet garden roses.

The groomsmen boutonnieres were simple, elegant succulents, while Chad's groom boutonniere also included white ranunculus bud accents.

It's so wonderful designing in early spring when so many flowers look their best!  These ranunculus and Juliet garden roses were spectacular!

Spring wedding at Cottonwood Barn

This set up at Cottonwood Barn was so gorgeous and so much fun!  Such a beautiful venue, and bride Christine had incredible vision adding gorgeous details everywhere.  Such a joy to be a part of it, and so looking forward to the pro photos by Lamarand Style Photography which will be so much better than my snaps here! The tables featured moss table runners for a natural touch, and several different centerpiece designs with a rustic and elegant mix of vases - mercury glass, whitewashed wood, and milk glass.  The flowers included rich green textures - succulents, queen anne's lace, tree ivy, umbrella fern, and ruscus foliages, as well as white and pale peach blooms - hydrangea, ranunculus, carnations, green trick dianthus, larkspur and peach juliet garden roses, as well as curly willow branches.

Orange and navy wedding

Love this image from the awesome Melanie Reyes - her work is so incredible, and she's a wonderful teacher, too!  I took a photography class from her and it was fun and so helpful, and now I enjoy practicing and improving my own photos of my work.  Of course, getting the pro images from her is still so much better ... I loved how these bouquets in bright orange, red and yellow turned out - a great pop of color with the navy blue bridesmaids dresses and accents.  The bouquets featured cherry brandy roses, orange lilies, orange freesia, mango calla lilies, and red tulips.

Sneak peak of blush and white wedding

Just a few quick photos of this weekend's highlights preparing for a beautiful blush pink and white wedding at the gorgeous Colony Club in Detroit... I found a new friend - the garden rose 'Kiera'!  Love this perfect pale blush pink color and ruffled edges!

And here's a quick snap from my phone of the bride's bouquet of white peonies and pale pink astilbe - love these peonies!
