Sahara Roses are Romantic








Robin egg blue hydrangea, mini calla lilies and Sahara Roses in a pale antique peach make a lovely combination for a summery wedding. The misty morning was beautifully captured by Alisha Clarke. www.alishaclarkphotographer.com I just love way the soft light and wispy ribbon
play off the color of the flowers against the gowns. Sweet and simple. I'm saving some shots of the bride for later!



Special Receptions and more








It's refreshing to add images of something other than bridal bouquets. What about placecard tables or grand entrance vases. Perhaps annuals and perennials planted in great urns and wire baskets.

Take a look at some photos from http://www.rebeccasphotography.com/. It was a magical event. Perfect weather, gorgeous couple, delicious food. A beautiful moment in time.

More Wedding Flowers


Fabulous church flowers! White and ivory is a classic combination that is always beautiful. The moment was captured by Laura Brazak Photography. And the stunning cake was photographed by her as well. I thought that Gen Comfort at She Takes The Cake really out did herself...that cake was impossibly gorgeous!

Orchids are In!




We have had many Brides requesting orchids this summer. They look great and are a bit different than the much admired rose. Love the shade of green!

E B Morgan House Photo Shoot

A perfect day will come along once in a while. You can't plan them, they just happen. I call them "a moment in time" when events unfold in magical progression and you are swept along for a delightful journey.

Bright and early on Tueusday, Kim, my husband John and I loaded the car with bundles of flowers, plates, dishes and candles and headed off to a photo shoot for Wellwed Magazine. We stopped at the Purple Hippo to pick up pink and black Petite Fours to go along with the placecard cookies from Gen Comfort at She Takes The Cake. We were seduced by the fresh baked aromas and treated ourselves to coffee and the best Lemon Blueberry Scone I have ever tasted.

Good company and cheerful conversation made the hour long trip fly by. The beauty of the lush countryside had us giddy by the time we arrived in Aurora. Little did we know that the best was yet to come.

We were greeted at the door of E B Morgan House by Lauren whose executive duties seemed to be making everyone welcome, informed and immediately comfortable. WellWed Magazine Editor Krista, her assistant Sara and intern Alison were already at work staging the scene. We were immediately wowed by the stunning decor. Chantiza Stern from Table Toppers of Rochester had draped the diningroom table with black and white floral linens which looked smashing with the miles of deep pink and mango silk draperies. Krista was clearly on her game as she bagan to layer the table with china, crystal stemware and flower arrangements. Photographer Alyson Beth started clicking away and the morning just flew by. But that is all I am going to reveal because I want to keep you in suspense until the next issue comes out.

We had so much Fun! Kim and I have been creatively recharged and energized by our experience. So I want to add a grateful thank you to the talented ladies who will always be in my minds eye when I recall the memory of this perfect day.
