This business is a funny little machine that runs on imagination, creativity, strong people skills, ability to move quickly, a strong back, bucket love or hate for that matter, the ability to prepare the most awesome tool box
 tape?- check, pins?- check, tire fix it kit?- check, coffee?-uhhh, 32oz. check!

and always…Always be prepared for the unseen…
 {rain, flower death, electrical mishaps, traffic and your occasional family feuds}

And with all those things that run and keep this business going,,,its the families,
friends, Mother’s & Daughters that inspire me.

 I have had the amazing blessing to be welcomed into the inner circle of  families on one of their most triumphant moments, finding myself a witness to the covered emotions waiting to explode at the moment of giving a daughter away and gaining a son, or vice versa—filled with hopes by this beauty of celebrating love
. Each family has left a lasting vivid impression

The Bride- Stunning
The Groom – Stunned
The Party – Outstanding
Me – Tired but elated

This past weekend brought the close of a celebration of a family, that I have come
to adore. Their daughter married a sweetheart of a man and their future is huge! To let you know what type of love these two have, they chose to visit the hospital with me, one day after their ceremony, to hand out flowers to patients going through chemotherapy treatment.  Each person that came in contact with them today, were touched by their beginning as husband and wife….to stop and bless others, when; this, their moment to be all consumed by eachother and Maui, didn’t seem to matter at this moment.

All because a boy fell in love with a girl and we all stood back in awe.

 

Visiting ST. Josephs Hospital, arms filled with their wedding flowers and hearts full of compassion.

Family, Faith and believing in one another’s best…
is your first impression when you meet the Ladd’s
They cheer for one another in their victories and surround you in love at the  losses.
there is a sense of no one is ever alone in this home.
They are a family of strong successful women, coached and lived out by
top producer of Remax realestate – Kathy Ladd
As we gathered to discuss the details of Shannon and Mannys wedding
the family in their entirety came to our first meeting…I quickly pulled outextra chairs and rearranged the table area as they laughed and called out toone another in excitement as if they {all} were about to take the same steps
in marriage as Shannon.It was one of the sweetest moments for me to

witness…
The theme was romantic and vintage rustic…she was wearing boots and he
would wear all black.  We pulled old ceiling tiles from a saloon in ohio and
used those as the center design.  filled vintage boxes with texture and cottage roses, bay leaves, scabiosa flowers and succulents.

(incredible love)
Just at this moment a circumstance, the most unexpected, the most extraordinary and incredible…
definition of incredible by web dictionary

When Lauren and her Mother, Sheryl, walked in to my home –
they were both booming with excitement and enthusiasm for the upcoming wedding of
 Lauren and Jose. 
 They are women of strength and culture…they knew what they loved from the get go…
{great food, great wine and great friends}
Who doesn’t want that?
 but what set them apart
was the bonding in which they held for the love of travel-tasting-toasting their way across Europe,
the attachment of emotions between them and a life long friendship. 
 They were more like sisters who have traveled the world and back and had seen and been through much together.
their friendship of Mother Daughter was sweet and endearing….and
I found myself wanting to book a trip with my Mum after they left.


Here we are after a successful meeting of ideas, mockups and lots of excitement….Cheers

And then, enters Jose!
A Smile to melt the world, handsome and smart with a look in his eye, that says it all
{I am totally in love with this woman}
DONE!

We wanted to set their wedding style with color and elegance, soft colored linens mixed with deep brown boxes filled with lush flowers of color.
Lots of candle light, woodsy and fun, but elegant and classic at the same time
I chose burgundy peonies, fresh lavender, sweet basil, poppies, and a gathering of all types of texture…wrapped loose and full with burlap and buttons.  To me the bouquet speaks of the bride and her path to follow….colorful, deep, heart felt love in the center and fun and dramatic on the outside.
its fun
 By Far my favorite all time favorite photo!!!
