Note the heirloom vintage handkerchief….just in case…The reality is… Ashley needed a fly swatter to removed the Chinese lantern fly that landed on Travis and Travis needed a bobby pin to clip back a strand of hair that kept flying in Ashley’s face in the middle of the ceremony!

Life in the Seven Acre Woods….Oliver and I are contemplating a walk in the snow. But it may have to wait as this week we are so busy doing some site visits with clients, checking out a new venue and using a new seating software from @merri so we can show you what your space is going to look like with linens, flowers, and furniture! So far I am loving it and we already used it today for one client’s bridal shower so we could select the perfect look in the actual space! Also, have some new gold shelves to build for @alm0695 and Tyler’s June wedding! Happy Monday! #weddingplannerlife #buildingevents #eventdesigner #weddings #lehighvalleyweddingplanner #philadelphiaweddingplanner #bethlehemweddings #allentownweddings #eventdesigner

I have always thought the meaning of flowers was something that has been lost in modern day flower exchanges. But I still like to tuck something into bouquets that has a special message even if no one knows but me! Tell me your favorite flower and I’ll tell you what it’s meaning is......
A Challenge for my gardeners, floral designers, and lovers of flowers!!! Basically my tribe. Find your favorite petite container and go design the prettiest little arrangement that makes you happy today! Cut them from the yard, an old bouquet or a roadside clump just calling your name! Post the photo here so we can all smile and be happy for the little things! I miss you all, my creative friends! Bonus points for naming it! And go ahead...do more than one....no limit on happiness, silly! @fosters_flower_shop @splintsanddaisies @froggysgardenflowers

I had to take advantage of some remaining peonies I saw at Wegmans so I could come home and let them spend some time enhancing my plethora of hydrangeas! So I clipped a few hydrangeas, some ferns from the woods and a few other goodies from the pots and beds around here to make a pretty centerpiece for....Hal Warner. Happy Tuesday, honey!
Fall brings so many beautiful colors and textures together to give us a harvest of visual delights! If you look closely you will see hints of bittersweet, some twigs of winterberry and even some pampas foraged from roadsides across the valley! If you see a blonde woman pulled over on 78 with armfuls vines, twigs and grass...beep! #foragedgoods #natural #harvestedflorals #floraldesignerwannabe #colormyworld #lehighvalleyeventplanner #eventtplanner #lehighvalleyweddings #eventplannerlife

Once inside the cocktail area we are welcomed by the adorable hi tops that make me want to get a dress made just like them! Bold stripes, fantastic floral ties by Katherine, owner of Kempton Floral Design leave us happy to spend some time in this room sipping their signature drinks with illuminated ice cubes that put a smile on everyone's face and a taste that bartender Jesse, of Saucon Valley Country Club, concocted with fresh ingredients, that was amazing! He even created a fun cocktail that changed color once ingredients were added which was part science, part art!
And then into the ballroom we go where Allium Floral Design and Flower Essence, Flower & Gift Shop both worked together to create the most colorful whimsical space that drew you inside their world of magical gardens and the fun little creatures who adorn them! All linens for this event came from Total Table of Paoli.
“A Touch of Whimsy” was all it took to start the synergy between so many creative and hardworking people on behalf of the St. Lukes 107th Charity Ball last weekend. From an idea between co-chairs, Fran Fisher and Shirlee Neumeyer, (who love their Mackenzie- Child’s designs!) who came up with the concept and then freed me to go crazy with concepts, patterns, and color! And working behind the scenes with committee member, Susan Fagerstrom, to bring back old (and seek new)floral designers to showcase some of the most talented floral designers in the Lehigh Valley! These artists generously donated their time, talent and beautiful flowers to make this event beyond our wildest dreams. THIS is what you get when you let artists create! Pure❤️ magic! I adore them all!
Then, toss in the extremely hardworking crew of Smith Brothers Tents, Omnivent Inc., and Saucon Valley Country Club and generosity of Plantique....well let’s just say they were the muscle behind the hustle!
There were so many more people involved that make this event truly spectacular but these are the ones who helped make it LOOK good! Stay tuned for more highlights and close ups with credit being given where credit is due!!!
Thank you all for making my dream come true!
