This was exciting to be able to do "double duty" on this wedding for Sarah & Mike. I got to be her wedding planner and coordinator at the venue I work at and love. Check out the amazing photography by Nicole on her blog.

What a beautiful day for a wedding!
I completed our new arch with the greenery and flowers for a blush/pink wedding.
I can't wait to start renting this out and creating all sorts of beautiful floral designs to match your unique style.
Message us if you would like information on how we can style this for your special day and to get rental pricing.

I'm excited to show you our newly acquired ceremony arch.

It's a white metal arch that comes in 4 pieces so it can be transported easily.
It's 8' high and 64" wide. I did decorate it with the greens and flowers that I had on hand to give you an idea of how beautiful this can look.
In one photo I simply added blush and pink flowers to give it a completely different look.
We can add as many greens and flowers as you like, depending on your budget.

We will be renting this out if you're interested for your upcoming ceremony. Rental will depend on the amount of flowers and greens or garland you want. Feel free to message us for a quote.

Ok, so this is what Martha says, but I'd love to hear some of your stories of really bad gifts that you received for your wedding! (no names need be mentioned :) )

Couples register for a reason: Because there are certain gifts they want or need. Here, six wedding gifts no one wants to receive. Plan ahead and avoid these presents at all costs.

Sometimes I get to do the fresh floral centerpieces and garlands and love doing it! These were for a 60th birthday party !
