Love is Such a beautiful gift

What I love about weddings is the momentum – the process of building a celebration from the first meeting and sharing ideas, dreams, images and emotions  — to the actual day of prep, loading, unloading, calculated structures – the MacGyver thought moments –  “how are we going to hang this heavy fabric from a tree?” Its the muscle and grit of actually creating it all on the day and succeeding to tell another love story. I am – as some of you may already know – a sucker for ceremonies. I savor the moments of IDo’s

“I fell in love hard” she said, “I knew it when i first laid eyes on him. He captured my heart and mind and i was gone”

“She is my first thought in the morning and my last thought as i lay my head down on my pillow, i am completely unfettered around her, but all together myself with her by my side. I look for her face in a crowd and listen for her sound across the room.”

This had to be the cutest guest sign in idea 

Here…in the few photos below are gathered petals.. proud assertions we

have had the great pleasure of gathering, styling, taking in the aroma of each flower and twining together with a beautiful silk ribbon

{The Bouquet}

like the Bride herself are the show stoppers

as she walks the bridal aisle, step – pause – step…She and her bouquet

this – the moment when every thought of

love, hope, planning, commitment, future and excitement come together

all held with in the palm of her hands

{A Love Affair}

Moments captured by Michelle Johnson Photography

Ok, lets just say,,,i had my own little love affair with this wedding.

the colors, flowers, that wedding dress….the bride and groom.

they had it all…Exquis …{french for Outstanding, superb}

The ceremony took place at Mariners Church, filled with its rich woods and beautiful natural light, lots of candles in which, cast a soft romantic hue

over the ceremony – it was breathtaking.

I love to watch as much as I can of the ceremony…without getting noticed
. however: I find myself inching forward to hear every spoken word of love and commitment…eventually; finding myself filling in an empty spot next to the Aunt of somebody.

Its why we florist of the wedding industry do what and why we do.

its why we hit the flower mart at 3am in the morning and

get each detail to the wedding as near perfect as humanly able.

We have a love affair for love affairs…plain and simple.
