Janelle and Zach - 04/16/16

Wedding season officially kicked off this weekend! It was sunny and 80 degrees! What more could you want from a wedding in the middle of April?!?!

I met Janelle through one of our local wedding swap groups. She's actually a fellow small business owner! She and her friend Emily own a linen rental company JEM Coverings, so if you're in need of linens for your wedding, you should definitely check them out! 

Jenelle knew EXACTLY what bouquet she wanted before we even got together for an appointment! There was a little bouquet mishap right before photography, so I rushed back to them and remade the bouquet. The trouble with cascading bouquet is that if you don't get it in just the right spot on the first try, it leaves a big hole and then when you put the stem in again near to that hole, it's not well supported in its new home. I'm so glad that Janelle was understanding and we got it taken care of quickly. 

 

After seeing her pictures, I think she made the perfect choice! They accented the bridesmaids dresses in just the right way! 

 

The wedding was at River Music Experience (Redstone Room) and the images were by Trisha K. Photography. It looks like their party was an absolute blast! 

 

I wish Janelle and Zach all the best on their future together! 

 

 

 

Kayla and Corbin - 01/16/16

Kayla and Corbin were married on a VERY cold January day. Her bridesmaids were SO cute in their fur shawls. 

I have known Kayla and Corbin for a very long time. Corbin was a year behind me in high school. Kayla's parents and my parents have been good friends for a number of years. I remember doing Kayla's hair for a daddy/daughter dance when she was about 8. I was thrilled that she wanted me to do the flowers for her wedding. I was even more thrilled when I was invited to join in the celebration! True to the winter theme, their reception had a smores bar! What more could you want?!?!

Kayla and I never had an actual in person consultation due to her being away at her last semester of school. She was so good at communicating her vision via email. She was in love with peonies and roses and a soft fluffy look. She sent me a lot of pictures from Pinterest so I could feel for the style of her day. 

Kayla and Corbin's wedding was ALL about glitz and glam. There were sequin tablecloths, gems and sparkle everywhere. I'm sure it wasn't Corbin's dream come true but it was mine! If you know me, you know that I would put glitter on everything if I could :)

The bride and her mom designed their own silk centerpieces but I created a statement piece for the table in the center of the room. You can see the branches they rented from me in her centerpieces in the background. They did an excellent job of making their centerpieces! I was very impressed with their craftiness. Even if I don't make your centerpieces (like in this case) you can always rent items to make your wedding complete. Kayla and Corbin rented glitter branches and a TON of gems to scatter around on the tables. 

One of the ideas Kayla was in love with was floral headwreaths for her three adorable flower girls. Being so crafty, she designed and made signs for them to carry down the aisle. She designed several other graphics for both ceremony and reception. After the wedding, Kayla opened an etsy shop to sell graphics and handmade items. If you're planning a wedding, be sure to check her shop out here because the items are super cute!

I want to thank Kayla and Corbin for allowing me to be a part of their special day! This was definitely a group that knew how to have a good time! I've loved being able to watch their love grow and can't wait to continue to watch their life together as a new family. 

I also want to thank them for allowing me to use their venue to do a photoshoot for my website photos. The Outing Club is a gorgeous venue and I feel so lucky to have been able to take my headshots and other images for my site during their wedding set-up. I wish Kayla and Corbin all the best for their future!!
