Bringing you some BTS footage from our spring Photoshoot, I wanted to highlight some of my new rental pieces that I used for this first time here. Those ribbed candle vases are my favorite, along with the touch lamps on the cocktail tables…. My rental collection is to my floral clients. It’s something I offer to my couples as a special perk. I’ve been working on updating my rental catalogue on my website, but until then, for anyone who books or is thinking about booking a wedding or event with me for your florals, and is wondering what is available, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I focus on providing floral containers and candles with some specialty decor items for my clients. Basically keeping it to items that go right along with the flowers. I do not offer linens or place settings (flatware, dishes, chargers etc.), but this table features some pieces from the extensive collections of @gigiandlaclede and @specialoccasionsmi. They are GR local companies and I can’t recommend them enough!!

A little Behind-The-Scenes for you 💛 Disha & Tyler’s traditional Indian ceremony backdrop on the shores of Gun Lake @baypointeweddings A backdrop of lush greens dotted with lovely vibrant summer blooms from @abundantbloomsflowerfarm, @septembersflowers, @doxology_flower_farm and @kennicott_grandrapids. I strung some strands of flowers to accent and hang from the middle - probably my favorite part of the whole installation! #grflorist #grandrapidsflorist #westmiflorist #indianwedding #weddingceremony #lakewedding

As promised, BTS footage of Rachel and Jacob’s lovely day @thehighfivegr with @white.aster.planning and @consideritdonegr rentals. The floral ceiling aisle, the candles, the soft neutral palette…🫶🏻 I’m so grateful for all my helping hands with this setup! @amandavanvels @vormittagfarmandfloral @edenfloralevents 💛

Happy Friday!! I’ve got some reel cuts of my bts footage from Kelly & Jon’s early September backyard wedding dream 🤍 I can’t wait to see the beautiful captures of @spencerpenfield on this one!!

So many great floral close-ups from Lauren & Peter’s beautiful sunny May Day 🫶🏻 so expertly captured by @carriechouse The flower vision was so rich and luxurious for this one, so many genius ideas dreamed up by Lauren and Stacy of @juniperandlaceevents and such a dream to execute!! The background for it all at the lovely @starrynightbarn was beyond perfect 👏🏻 Note the dream team behind it all 👇🏻 It was the best crew!! @juniperandlaceevents @carriechouse @starrynightbarn @mandie.forbes @bubblesandbrewstvc @jennifermarlinillustration @teamhairandbeauty @exposuresbyrah @tctentedevents @bluewaterkingsband @gigiandlaclede @edenwoodsrentals @eventtheorymi

Here we go with some BTS footage of Olivia & Dave’s big day 🫶🏻 When she brought me that gorgeous color palette, I was pretty excited.. Sunset colors with blue accents 👏🏻 I pulled from several local farms (@septembersflowers, @twohandsinthedirt, @abundantbloomsflowerfarm, @sparrow_flower_farm and @doxology_flower_farm) as well as our local GR wholesaler @angie.kgr.flowers @kennicott_grandrapids to not only hit the color palette but also Olivia’s vision for wildflower/garden vibes. She bought second hand vintage dishes for her tables that worked so well with the florals!! I also had to take a little video of that gorgeous cake created by @conniescakesgr. It was so beautiful!! And that ceremony scene was perfection: the golf course and fountain in the background…. A foreground of flowers and a background of rolling greens and shimmering water on a glorious sunny day @pigeoncreekeventcenter Congratulations Dave and Olivia, we loved creating for you and wish you a lifetime of marital bliss 💛

Disha & Tyler’s wedding by the shores of Gun Lake @baypointeweddings 🫶🏻 We’ve decided to call this style “garden opulence” but what do you think? I’d love to hear your thoughts? Add any additional descriptors in the comments below if you think of any 👇🏻 Sometimes words just don’t do it justice, just like my btw phone camera footage can’t really show you how beautiful it was to actually stand in front of that arbor covered in flower, the lake lapping at the rocks beside the green grass and soft breeze, but we can always try our best, am I right?

Styling and playing with my new vases whilst deciding which ones I want to add to my collection. Which one is your favorite? I’m leaning towards all of them 😆 Floral suppliers: @abundantbloomsflowerfarm @twohandsinthedirt @sparrow_flower_farm @septembersflowers @angie.kgr.flowers
