Microwedding…..Is All About Love!
The definition of microwedding is any ceremony and/or reception with less than 50 total guests. Does the word micro have impact on the importance of the day? Why not just call it a wedding? Why do we have to label it micro? A wedding of 10 vs 400 people has the same essential components. First there is a couple who wants to spend their lives together. Then the celebration of their union begins which includes family/friends who want to wish the very best to the start of a new beginning. Often there is plenty food/beverage, music, photos and beautiful floral (of course). Most importantly there is LOVE. These components have all come together to celebrate a wedding, so I say we call it by the independent and strong name…. WEDDING. There is nothing “micro” about LOVE.

Design the perfect setting to say “I DO”!
I have had the honor of designing some amazing weddings during this time of uncertainty. When asked by our couples to help design their wedding day the answer is always YES because love is always is something to be celebrated.
Danielle and Jeff decided the perfect location for their venue change was the family home. It was a beautiful sun filled day to set up the ceremony outside. Safely of course!
Make a statement for the couple!
We designed a beautiful moongate consisting of lilies, alstroemeria, roses, garden roses, snapdragons, and monte in shades of white and peach. The springri and plumosa created the movement within the design. When designing outside it is important to understand how the air movement will affect your floral display. Use nature to create magic.
Simplicity creates drama!
The Bride’s mother purchased the candle holders to be placed down the aisle. We added #9 and #3 double satin ribbon streamers on each candle stake. A symphony of movement happened when the breeze made an entrance. The simple touches often add the most impact.
Time to Dine!
The table décor was a series of candles and cylinder vases of peonies, roses, hypericum, viburnum, and green trick. There were candles galore placed in between the series of floral. A tablescape can have major impact by utilizing a series of floral and candles.

Floral To Carry and Wear!
I designed a beautiful round garden bouquet consisting of peonies, roses, spray roses, garden roses, dahlias, viburnum, and eucalyptus for the bride to carry towards her forever love. I specifically chose all round shaped items for her bouquet to create the shape. I paid special attention to the colors as I wanted a gradual increase of color from ivory to apricot. There was no sudden pop of color…. it was a beautifully romantic transition of colors for this bride.
The groom’s boutonniere was designed with hypericum stem wrapped in satin ribbon with an accent of bullion wire. The color looked great against his navy-blue suit.

Happily Ever After!
Every couple deserves your full attention to detail and design abilities. After all it is their dream day….no matter how many people are able to attend. Make it a day they will remember forever!
Wishing Danielle and Jeff the happiest of marriages filled with love, laughter and floral!
