Wedding Flowers at The Vinoy in St Petersburg, Fl









Sometimes it is is just nice to let the pictures do the talking! The Vinoy in St Petersburg is a beautiful venue before you even add the first flower but when you do start putting your own style and taste into the room, the results can be magical!
Many thanks to Victors photojournalism for providing some of the pictures in this blog. Thank you!!

Sandpearl Wedding April 9, 2011





Wendy and Samuel were one of my favorite couples. They were so sweet and so in love. From the first time I met Wendy , I was drawn in by her genuineness and knew I was really going to enjoy working with her on her vision for her wedding flowers. She wanted to incorporate the white sandy beaches of Clearwater Beach and yet honor the traditions of her heritage. She wanted sandblasted manzanita on her chuppah to bring in that beach element but decided to just drape it in flowing white organza to keep it simple and elegant. She continued that theme all the way through to the reception and she did a fantastic job of pulling it all together. During the reception the Groom even sang to her. So sweet ! Loved this couple and wish them many years of happiness!! I was also thrilled when Wendy hired Stephen Dohring as her photographer- amazing photographer ! So it is with special thanks to him for providing the pictures in this post.
Thank you and can't wait to work with you once more!

Don Cesar Wedding April 16, 2011









Our wedding today at the Don Cesar was a family affair. I first met with the bride and her parents to discuss the wedding flowers a few months ago. They were excited to talk about the vision they had for the South Terrace where the reception would be held and they wanted to transform the room. We discussed draping the entire ballroom with white sheer organza and uplighting the room in shades of pink and purples to add a romantic glow to the room. Then we decided to keep the florals white so as we turned down the lights, you would still be able to see their beauty. We used white hydrangea, white peonies , ivory garden roses and white phalenopsis orchids. Since the Don Cesar is known as the pink palace- the bride decided to add a pop of color to her head table and cake table in a beautiful shade of pink and accented the table top with a bling border. Stunning!
Her flowers for her bouquet consisted of pink and white peonies. Everything was set for a magical evening , so let the party begin- and boy did they party. I am not sure I have ever seen any group have more fun. Congratulations and best wishes to the newlyweds!! It was our pleasure to design your wedding flowers. Thank you!!

Bright Pink Wedding Flowers at The Don Cesar




It is a beautiful Saturday evening at the Pink Palace and Jessica is busy getting ready for her walk down the aisle. She is relaxed and calm because she has chosen wisely and added a full service wedding coordinator that has over seen her every detail. The flowers were chosen to compliment the dresses and the decor of the Don Cesar but the tables were more than decorated- they were table scapes. Chrissy at Ideal Design and Events helps you pull the whole look together by making sure everything from the napkins to the floor length linens enhances the bride's vision of her perfect day. I loved the contrasting colors of the bright sea blue with the pops of hot pink. Great look for July and for a elegant fun beach side wedding. We took pictures to give you a sneak peek but Mike at Lifelong Photography is the real artist and I am anxiously awaiting his images. He is simply amazing!
