Orlando Bridal Show Tomorrow!!!

Come out and enjoy this fabulous Bridal Show and say hello to Ian and Brittany!!

The Ringling Courtyard and Michael's on East Wedding Sneak Peek!

On January 2nd, we had the pleasure of being a part of a beautiful wedding. As all Floridians know, these past couple weeks we've been faced with unseasonably cold weather. A wonderful change from the heat, but when we have weddings outside, we always hope for flawless weather.

In this instance, the Bride and Groom had a fabulous wedding planner, Nicole Kaney from NK Productions who helped them make the decision to change venues and move their reception in doors.

They kept their ceremony at the stunning Ringling Courtyard in Sarasota and moved their reception to Michael's on East's Ballroom.

Their ceremony was beautiful keeping with the traditional and always a favorite, all white.

The reception was a combination of different shades of coral flowers consisting of amaryllis, tulips, roses, ranunculus and tuberous heather.

Below is a sneak peek of some amazing photos from the always wonderful, Damon Tucci!

Happy New Year!

We started off the New Year (or really New Year's Eve) with a spectacular wedding! There is nothing we love more than working with fabulous clients and then on top of that add in amazing vendors, and you really can't go wrong!

Below is a sneak peek image from the ceremony from the wonderful Garrett Nudd and a snippet of the couple's wedding video from the talented Jeffrey Stoner.






We were thrilled to be a part of this wedding. Not only did we create the all of the floral decor, but we also facilitated all of the lighting and the big surprise for the bride, a snow machine! This completed her winter wonderland look as she and her new husband had their first dance!

A MAJOR kudos to all of the vendors involved including the guys mentioned above, The Ritz Carlton Sarasota and last but certainly not the least, the fabulous ladies of E-Events - Lisa, Nancy and Jessy for making the day flawless!

We love Peonies!

Our current "love" of the moment is peonies. Traditionally they are a June flower. However, just these past two weeks we've been thrilled about getting in some beautiful cranberry red colored peonies!

If you're an end of May or June bride, take advantage of something not all Brides have the opportunity to enjoy... PEONIES! They are available in various colors and such a beautiful and stunning flower. We're busy with Holiday events this week, but we wanted to take a moment to share.

We hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays to all!!
