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.

{Great Expectations in Love}

The love story of Vicky and Sam is no way related to

the Great Expectations written by Dickens.

Their story is filled with the expectations of nothing short of a future filled with adventure and a life of everlasting friendship and love.

The Bride and her Maids

 

I had the joy of inviting my Bride and all her Maids to my shop at my home to teach them the art of bouquet making.  It was a clamoring of girls-all excited for their bestie getting married the next day.

We laughed and chatted and I listened all day with a smile on my face, a woman full of wisdom as to, what it takes to make a marriage, the struggles of seeing it through tough times and the honor of being a wife…listening to these fresh faced naive girls and all the promise and joy that was before them gave me a kick in my step and many memories of Jim and I as we first started out together
.

They will figure it all out just as I have…hahaha

Each bouquet was different and fun just like each wedding that I design and each marriage, commitment and vow that is given

….I had a blast:)
