single blooms

for brides seeking a chic and modern approach to the flowers on her wedding day might i suggest considering a single bloom bouquet. a single flower still makes an impact but won't overpower or outshine a bride on her special day.

these single flower arrangements are simple but utterly sophisticated and offer an understated elegance to any bride or bridal party. the effortless grace of these bouquets makes them the perfect choice for any wedding theme or aesthetic.

single blooms can be used in bouquets as well as in table arrangements, centerpieces and throughout your decor, so they're budget-friendly and eco-friendly too!

wedding wednesday: it's all about the flowers

sometimes it's all about the location... but sometimes it's all about the flowers. take, for example the amazing mix of cream and rose-hued hydrangeas, amaranthus, ranunculus, and roses used in this new york city wedding. i find this combination super pretty, and along with the other details in these shots, totally striking.

wedding wednesday: best palm springs wedding ever

in life, is there really a better strategy than aiming for the best? i don't think so. being the best, doing the best, and having the best time is crucial. so what better way to approach your wedding, just like lilia and ryan did here, literally calling their wedding the Best Day Ever. genius.

that dress is perfect. she looks adorable. and a personalized tote is an awesome favor.

what gets me about these photos? it's the hanging poms, obviously.

i think this might be the best day ever, personified.

yummy-looking appetizers and super smart bud vase place settings.

best day ever: mission accomplished.

april showers...

... bring may flowers! or so it seems. the last few days have been proof that spring is finally here and summer is close behind. no better way to celebrate than with some passion ice tea, am i right, des?
