Our friend In Bloom Florals created this stunning replica wedding bouquet centerpiece. 😍🙌🏻🤍

Over the years I’ve loved this romantic gesture from my husband as it is always paired with a sweet note and reminder of our personal vows.

Thank you Rachel! The special delivery today was amazing. I’ll be starring at these for dayyssss as the perfect peonies bloom.

We love customizing our clients’ experiences and designs with their story. A family’s connection of Canandaigua Lake comes comes alive, expressed with a lighthearted, airy beauty and clear focus. A reflection of their personalities and love for each other. The design is then pulled across a comprehensive portfolio to curate a clear brand for their guests to experience at the event and beyond.
