We made it! Halfway through 2019! After 4 weddings this weekend, and helping a buddy with a 5th, I'm feeling slightly rested, and ready to start blogging some of these lovelies. Let's start with our first wedding of the year. M & J are one of the sweetest couples, and I was so excited to get going with the season, and couldn't wait to hand over their colorful yet elegant florals.

A big thank you to The Liberty Hotel, for always being an amazing venue and host for our floral designs, and to Todd Wilson Images, for capturing this magical day! … [Read more...]
