Jenn and Blake

Jenn came to me with a vision...simple, vintage elegance.  We incorporated lots of textural flowers in muted shades of ivory, cream, straw and palest peach.   Jenn collected many great pieces of vintage lace and other items for the wedding to create a unique and totally personal experience.  In fact, after her own wedding, Jenn was so inspired that she started her own rental business featuring an assortment of vintage items and eclectic finds.
Check out her amazing collection at Brossie Belle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sharifa and Donald

Sharifa and Donald....wow, how much fun did they have! You just can feel the joy and happiness of their special day radiating through these amazing images from Adrienne Maples. We concentrated on really soft, romantic flowers to match the old world elegance of Loose Mansion. Lots of peonies (whites and gorgeous corals), garden roses in sunny shades of tangerine and apricot, green hydrangeas, berzillia berries, and orange tulips made everything just glow.

LOVE this photo! We wrapped Sharifa's bouquet in tulle to give it a very romantic, vintage feeling....the band of bling added the perfect amount of sparkle!










The ceremony took place in the 3rd floor ballroom at Loose Mansion. It's a gorgeous room with an amazing fireplace as the focal point.

Lisa and Roger

Spring wedding season is here! That means lily of the valley, peonies, tulips, lilacs and all the fragrant, fabulous flowers that I, personally, can't get enough of. Lisa was a pleasure to work with and requested an abundance of beautiful, seasonal, and romantic flowers. Her bouquet was filled with David Austin garden roses, lily of the valley (from my mom's yard!), peonies, the most amazing peony tulips, berzillia berries for a pop of spring green, and white hyacinth. It was simple, with a just-picked-from-the-garden feeling and classically beautiful. The lily of the valley was a tribute to Lisa's grandmother and brought her mom to tears when she saw the bouquet. The elegance of the Sawyer Room was the perfect place for the reception. We used lots of candles on the tables and in the glorious windows and created an intimate, warm feeling for the bride, groom and their guests.

Amy and Brant

I just wanted to share some great photos of a timeless and very classic fall wedding we did a couple of years ago. We had so much fun working the bride, Amy. She was full of ideas and we collaborated to come up with the perfect look to compliment her apple green and chocolate themed wedding. The bride carried a fabulously simple bouquet of white gardenias accented with glossy green camellia foliage. Fragrant, classic and wonderful--I just loved that bouquet! The reception at the Hobbs building was the perfect mix of romantic and urban. Tall arrangements of curly willow branches and hanging votive candles accented with apple green hydrangeas, cymbidium orchids, and glossy green granny smith apples were both dramatic and woodsy. We got really creative and filled glass vases with dried green split peas to add lots of texture and pull the apple green color into some of the low centerpieces--an inexpensive and easy trick!!

Kansas City Weddings photo shoot

Wonderful photos from KC Weddings 2010 issue! We were responsible for creating two looks in purple. The first is a romantic, hand-tied spring version with grape muscari, pirouette blue clematis, spring green viburnum and deep purple anemones. The stems of the bouquet are banded with an icy lavender ribbon.
This bouquet is our diva!! Sexy, strong and saturated purples...incorporating eggplant lisianthus, noorah blue mokara orchids and touches of plum colored smokebush foliage. The stems are banded with deep eggplant ribbon, but would also be really great with a contrasting apple green or platinum to soften it and take the diva down a notch!
