Recent wedding

Sometimes brides come to me and tell me that in no way do they want a rose anywhere in their wedding flowers. I do understand as roses can be seen as a bit overdone; however, there are so many different types of roses that I think that many, in fact most brides would retract their statement of dislike after seeing the more extravagant rose varieties that the floral world has to offer. A recent bride enabled me to showcase a few of these within her all rose bouquet and she was thrilled with the end result on her wedding day. Roses are a wonderful option, available all year round in Maine and they are always coming out with new varieties. Just something to keep in mind as you think about your likes/dislikes within the world of flowers!

Just going through some of the images that photographers have graciously sent me and this is one of my favorites. I think that this bouquet encompasses so much of the natural beauty of the flowers which can not always be seen. Poppies, fiddleheads and ferns definitely make this bouquet a "Maine bouquet". It is wonderful at the end of the season to go through and look at all of the floral images in a new light...

Thanks to so many...

I hope that all is well with both all of the brides who kindly invited me to be apart of their wedding day this season, but also to all of my fellow wedding vendors. This season was one to remember with amazing flowers, unique designs and wonderful co-workers. Designing wedding flowers in New England is quite an honor... so many beautiful flowers to work with, both locally grown and from other parts of the world as well. I feel very fortunate to be apart of such a wonderful network of friends and vendors in the industry that are such a pleasure to be with weekend after weekend. Special thanks to Jason at Newagen, Diane York, Meghan Rathmell with BMerry Events and many many others. I hope to have new images on my site within the next month as well as a new generation of my portfolio. Many thanks to all the photographers who have generously given me stunning images from various weddings.
So, here I go, into the blogging world..wish me luck (and time to keep up with it!)
All the best...
