Ann Arbor intimate wedding | Ann Arbor wedding flowers

 

It was such a joy when Jocelyn called me to discuss wedding flowers for her September intimate wedding. It was all being arranged in a few weeks time, in a flurry of excitement, joy, and fun. I remember thinking that her friends and family must be feeling all of that with something to look forward to, in a season with so many things being cancelled. This was such a joy! Congratulations to Jocelyn and Ethan! Beautiful photos by Lisa Tune Photography. Reception at the Gandy Dancer, Ann Arbor.

 

Autumn wedding flowers | Ann Arbor wedding

 

This is the “go for it!” bouquet in florist language. All the autumn flowers - all of them - all of the colors, tones, textures, and with a full cascade. Yes, please!! Such a dream getting to create a full cascading bouquet in all the autumn colors and textures! Thank you, Amanda and Josh, this was such a dream! Beautiful photos by BPrice Photography.

 

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.

Cornman Farms Autumn Wedding | Ann Arbor Wedding Flowers

 

It was the most amazing sunrise setting up for this beautiful wedding at Zingerman’s Cornman Farms this past autumn. We don’t usually get to see the sunrise during a set up, but we did this time - and it was so inspiring! We were up early creating this stunning mandap design with hanging white snapdragons and smilax vine. The individual snapdragons swayed just slightly in the breeze - it was a special spot. The reception tent decor was sophisticated and natural, too - centerpieces of white candles, white snapdragons and lavender on navy blue linens. Thank you to Melanie Reyes Photography for these beautiful images and Twofoot Creative for planning and coordination.

 

Michigan League Wedding | Ann Arbor Wedding Flowers

 

As I write this, we are staying home and staying safe…. it’s early May and spring is just now starting to arrive. It feels extra special to get to share images from the last wedding we did flowers for in February at the Michigan League Ballroom. Looking back now, it’s so fantastic for Lauren & Vince, who got to celebrate this wedding with friends and family - just a few weeks before we would all be staying at home. We had no idea at the time - it sounds like such a different world then. But seeing these reminds me that we will all get to celebrating again, and it will be beautiful!

 

Lovett Hall Wedding | Ann Arbor Wedding Florist

 

It was the best of the dahlia season for Colleen and David’s Lovett Hall wedding at The Henry Ford in Dearborn. Thanks to Forget Me Not Farms, it was the most spectacular collection of dahlias in every color with beautiful foliages and textures and berries. Colleen let us run with the color and it was such a joy to get to create these pieces. We had the pleasure of creating the flowers for Colleen’s cousin’s wedding a few years ago and it’s such an honor to be asked back for another celebration within the family. Thank you to Heidi at Violet Light Photography for sharing these beautiful images - they are fantastic!

 

Circ Bar - Downtown Ann Arbor Wedding Venue

 

I’m so excited about Circ Bar in downtown Ann Arbor! Circ Bar will be hosting weddings starting this year and I got to be a part of a really fun wedding shoot with the team at Circ and Nicole Haley Photography. It’s so beautiful! There is so much space, so many possibilities, lots of brick and urban character, a gorgeous bar area with tons of light and a fireplace, and… the most gorgeous outdoor patio. Ok, we did this in January, so we didn’t get to use the patio, but it will be amazing in the warmer months! And it’s all right in the heart of downtown! Can’t wait to do events here - it’s going to be amazing!

 

Cornman Farms Autumn Wedding Mandap

 

It was a gorgeous crisp autumn morning when we got to create this mandap design at Zingerman’s Cornman Farms. It was really special to be setting up at sunrise and loved so much how this mandap design on the structure from Modernly Events turned out. And shortly after this clouds started rolling in, but the rain held off until just as the ceremony was finishing - phew! Fantastic team here working with Twofoot Creative, Melanie Reyes Photography, and Sweet Heather Anne

 

Misty Farm Wedding | Ann Arbor Wedding Flowers

 

So excited to share these beautiful pictures by Nicole Haley Photography of Stephanie and Chad’s gorgeous summer wedding at Frutig Farms Misty Farm in Ann Arbor. I love all these beautiful summer sorbet tones - coral, pink, peach, raspberry, with lots of gardeny textures and lush foliages. So many beautiful details and so much joy in these families! It was such an honor to be a part of this celebration - congratulations Stephanie and Chad!

 

Ann Arbor City Club Wedding | Ann Arbor wedding flowers

 

It is such a special honor and joy to get to do flowers for friends and family. I have known Lydia nearly 10 years so I was thrilled to get to create these pieces for Lydia and be a part of this amazing family celebration. Loved everything about this day and all the joy that Heather Jowett captured. So grateful to be a part of Lydia and Miguel’s beautiful celebration!
