More Holmes Rehearsal Dinner pictures...

The groom-to-be loves the outdoors so I wanted to stay away from typical flowers for the tables and instead I collected antique hunting items, antlers, lanterns and went with a combination of textured greenery for centerpieces. I love to combine textures and sculptural compositions with flowers in order to create something not-so-typical when I arrange. Everything was live, ferns and cattails included.

Zingery/Dozier Wedding

Everything about this wedding was personal. All the food was served on the relative's collection of McCarty Pottery, drinks were served in mason jars, old coke crates, milk jugs and mason jars were used for centerpieces...the event was a wonderful reflection of the couples personal style.

The ceremony

Antique elements and wildflowers combined for centerpieces

The receptions was on the porch and front lawn of the house.

For the entrance to the house (stairs leading up to the hilltop ceremony) I used burlap runners wrapped along the stairs and used gauze to tie a bouquet of some of the bride's favorite, colorful wildflowers.

My husband and I built this table for the bride to use as her guestbook and program table at the top of the stairs leading to the house. It's made from an antique door and iron spindles.

Zingery/Dozier Wedding

Pictures from my first out of town Wedding at Weymouth Hall on the Bluffs overlooking the river in Natchez. I designed the event after talking with the bride and groom. I handled all every aspect of this even from design, flower arranging, tablescapes, coordinating right down to the directing of the ceremony and reception.

For the alter we rented antique columns from our friends at the Old House Depot and topped them with burlap wrapped ferns.

Pew markers of hand-tied wildflowers.

View down the aisle coming from the back proch of the house.

For Friday night's party, I made mason jar lanterns to hang over the dance area for a festive, southern touch. The wind didn't cooperate with us, as some blew out over the course of the evening...the one thing I couldn't control!

Here are some pictures from Meghan Pigott's Wedding in February 2009. I designed, decorated and coordinated the reception at Hal and Mal's. Meghan and her mother were a joy to work with!

Holmes Rehearsal Dinner

Here are a few pictures from the rehearsal dinner I did last night showing some of my event design and floral arranging skills...I love being different! I will post more soon. The groom loves the outdoors and hunting so once I decided to go with that, this is what I created...

Holiday order time!

I know it's way too early to think about Christmas, but I already have people placing holiday orders! Crazy, right?! So, if you have a large order for family or coworkers, it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and get your name and rough order on my calendar just to make sure I can work it in the schedule by your deadline. Turn around for any item is running about 1- 1 1/2 weeks and will slow down to 2 weeks probably the first of October. Of course, if you get in a pinch, don't hesitate to check with me anyway. I can usually shuffle things around in the kiln! Thanks for all the support and business!
