real wedding: anne & alexis

anne and alexis got married in april at the newly renovated {at the time} brooklyn winery.  anne's mom, a flower lover, hired me to design their wedding flowers.  not unusual as sometimes moms like to handle these sort of details and who am i to argue?  all together, they were dream clients.  they gave me a palette, told me a little about their style and completely entrusted me to run with it. 

spring is a most gorgeously perfect time to flower and i invited coral flame peonies, italian poppies, crabapple, ranunculus, ferns, parrot tulips, andromeda, garden roses and others to the party.  full disclosure -- the morning of the wedding, i became really emotional, okay, i cried, looking at all the arrangements.  i loved, loved, loved designing this wedding and the beautiful colors and blooms just got to me.  i'm also a big ol' baby and take any and every opportunity to blubber. 

congratulations again anne and alexis. may your lives together be forever beautiful. x
