Carin and Julia from Hitched who I adore, as does every brides I know who has shopped with them asked me to do flowers for a brunch last week. The purpose was to get the word out to to-be brides about a collaboration with the designer Jorge Manuel called All Upon A Star Contest. The winner gets a custom made couture gown.
Thanks to Ralph Alswang for the photos.
Just got these images back this morning. Anemone, hyacinth, tulip, ranunculus, muscari... Ceremony at the Sidwell Friends Meetinghouse, followed by a celebration at the Women's Museum. Bouquets and the second floor of the museum were filled with deep saturated color flowers, the main floor was all silver and white blooms. Thanks Paul Morse for the photos and Alexandra Kovach for putting it all together!
Winter through April one of my favorite flowers, helleborus are available. Right now I am getting them through the Dutch auction in Holland, I can already see buds just starting to form on the plants in my garden and I will be able to get them from a favorite local flower farmer, Bob Wollam, in April and March....These are delicate flowers and generally only have a few day life span after they are picked but they are without a doubt worth it! I used them as part of the centerpieces at a small wedding at the Tabard Inn yesterday.
November 2011 was wonderfully busy for me. I just got back these photos from a November wedding at Meridian House.
Thanks to Rebekah Murray for the photos
Got these flowers in for a sample for a large spring wedding... John picked up the camera and shot these luscious photos... wanted to share–
Two of my friends married in the garden behind Longview Gallery in a joyful ceremony– The backdrop was made from doors they picked up at Second Chance Salvage in Baltimore Maryland. I added the moss, succulents, berries, twigs...

Happy to get Abby Jiu's photos from an October Newseum wedding I did with Ritzy Bee. These bouquets waiting for the ceremony are making me smile–
Just got photos back from my last wedding of 2011– The couple has impeccable taste down to the brides Roger Vivier shoes... planning and endless memorable details by Maria and Kelly of Ritzy Bee, the Georgetown Four Seasons, my first time working with both K. Rose and Mr. Boddington's Studio... lucky for me it was all documented by Kate Headley. These photos make me excited for my first wedding of the year this coming weekend!

Very excited to see a wedding I adored in the January 2012 issue of Southern Living Weddings– daydreaming about the beautiful June day on this chilly January morning!
Fabulous couple, the Goodstone Inn in Middleburg Virginia and an incredible team of Ritzy Bee Events, Brian Johnson Photography and Maggie Austin Cakes.
I have had a great year of weddings– this one I am particularly fond of...lovely and generous couple with a great vision, elegant Decatur House, a gorgeous early November day, an abundance of fall flowers, coordination by Alexandra Kovach and... lucky for me all of that documented by the deeply talented Kate Headley!
November 5th was a big day for me...I did flowers for a few fabulous couples. I have seen glimpses of photos from the other weddings I did that day but these are the first complete set I have gotten back. As always it was a pleasure to work with Alexandra Kovach. Thank you to Michelle Frankfurter for the photos– her unique point of view is clear through the images that she captures...below are a few of the more flower-centric ones.
My friends and colleagues Maria and Kelly of Ritzy Bee recently finished a new wedding book for Southern Living. Rumor has it there is one advance copy floating around The Hive and it is gorgeous but I have not seen it yet! The Southern Living Wedding Planner and Keepsake: What to do before saying "I do" will be available to all of us on January 3 next year at bookstores and through Amazon. With their radiance and knowing that all of the photos were taken by Kate Headley I cannot wait to see it!! In the meantime you can sneak a peek on a recent Ritzy Bee blog post. Congratulations!!

Lovely bride, church ceremony followed by lunch at Longview Gallery, got to work with Teresa from Rex and Regina for the first time. Used lots of dahlias that are now done until next year from Bob Wollam, whites for personal flowers and bright oranges and reds for centerpieces at the lunch.
The bride picked up the different black and white ribbons at a favorite store of mine in NY M&J Trimming.

I loved the juxtaposition of the flowers and venue at this Late July wedding.
It was a pleasure to work with Amber Carson Events for the first time. Thanks Rodney Bailey for the photographs.
