A January Wedding

I absolutely loved being a part of this special day! My dear friend Glenn married her prince at the charming Central Baptist Church in Newnan, and it was a joy to design her bouquets, boutonnieres, and the arrangements for the reception at the equally charming Train Depot.

Glenn totally lucked out with the most beautiful, mild January day…it made for fantastic photos outside! 

Glenn's dress was stunning! All lace with a gorgeous beaded sash…and her navy bridesmaids dresses were cute and crisp! I loved the preppy touch! 

The bridesmaids' bouquets consisted of white hydrangea, dusty miller, and purple peonies. 

Don't they all look so happy?!?! And thrilled to not be freeeeezing too! 

I loved this shot of the bridal party

And this warm moment caught between mommy and son! So darling! 

You can really see Glenn's bouquet well here…white peonies, white polo roses, and white hydrangea. 

The historic, rustic vibe of the train depot was a fun backdrop for the celebration following the ceremony. Glenn had already added fun touches like strings of white lights and grapevine balls, so I just plopped and dropped arrangements of white hydrangea, white phlox, seeded eucalyptus, white polo roses, and a few purple tulips! 

My fabulous sister-in-law designed this adorable menu board! Everyone loved it!

Pantone's Radiant Orchid + White + Green = Gorgeous Combo

I recently had the opportunity to design the floral centerpieces for the Les Dames d'Escoffier International fundraiser event at America's Mart in Atlanta. What a privilege this was! The event raised over $20,000, and featured a cocktail hour and silent auction to raise funds for Atlanta Les Dames d'Escoffier International, a philanthropic society dedicated to fostering the education of students in food, fine beverage and hospitality. Libations, entertainment and delicious tastings were offered by some of Atlanta's finest chefs including, Delia Champion (Delia's Chicken & Sausage Stand), Linda Harrell (Cibo e Beve) and Jay Swift (4th & Swift).

When Corey McCants of Corey McCants and Company asked me to join the event, I was tickled pink! Well, tickled radiant orchid to be exact. ;) I took a cue from Pantone's Color of the Year and combined shades of white, green, and purple to create arrangements that both spoke of our Southern love of hydrangea, and gave a taste of France. To my delight, the florals looked pulled from the garden, and after being auctioned off, raised even more money for the wonderful foundation, benefiting scholarships for aspiring young chefs. 

Constructed in aged clay pots, woven baskets, and bronze tureens, these flowers sure made a wintry day seem a bit less daunting. With pomegranates, green apples, grapes and artichokes tucked around the base, the arrangements conveyed a sense of savory delight. 

Enjoy!
