Some weddings are beautiful because of the flowers, and some are beautiful because of the people behind them. This one was both.
We met Chrissy and Mark (brideās parents) during our very first year of JO volleyball and instantly became friends. They quickly became those people you were always excited to see at every tournament, the ones you knew youād spend the weekend laughing with. Over the years, that friendship became something really special.
So when they asked me to design the flowers for their daughterās wedding, I was truly honored. And she was an absolute dream bride!! Ellie was so easy to work with, trusting throughout the entire process, and genuinely grateful for everything I created for her.
The result was one of my favorite classic weddings Iāve ever designed. An elegant black-and-white celebration filled with timeless white roses, hydrangeas and ranunculus, tons of candlelight, and gorgeous Southern smilax cascading from the chandeliers. Classic, romantic and absolutely stunning.
The next morning, as I was cleaning everything up, I got to hug Ellie one last time, and it felt like the perfect ending to such a special weekend. Grateful for this beautiful family and so honored I got to be a small part of such an unforgettable day.
