A continuation of yesterday’s post.

The cocktail tables were dressed in green poly linens and then accented with arrangements both rustic and refined: moss formed the base, then we accented with amnesia, cool water, and faith roses, mums, and mokara orchids with curly willow wisps:

The couple married beneath an arch decorated with grapevine loops, carnations, orchids, and roses:

And in pretty black and white:

The aisleway was framed with antiqued white lanterns embellished with flowers:

We had a series of different table centerpieces. The first was a cluster of three pomanders with elevated heights and accented with moss & candles:

The second set was lantern centerpieces covered with flowers & set upon a bed of moss embellished with flowers. Roses & mums wound up the base:

A closer look at the lantern centerpiece:

The pomanders proved a perfect backdrop for a ring shot:

We designed programs and they coordinated with the candy apple favors beautifully:

A tall vase was filled with curly willow lashings then embellished with hanging mini pomanders in purple. The base of the arrangement was accented with glass lanterns filled with candles:

We draped the cake area in organza, then covered the tablecloth in purple petals and embellished with delicate blossoms:

One last look at the cake as we round up the celebration for such a great couple– a lifetime of happiness, Stephen & Taylor!

    Absolutely gorgeous! I am loving those colors!

This past October, I had a beautiful wedding at the gorgeous Belle Meade Plantation. After a week of rainy days and cloudy skies, we reluctantly moved the boxwood gardens wedding indoors– and if I do say so myself, the result was magical. The bride and groom were gorgeous, the father of the bride all smiles as we celebrated the love shared between Taylor & Stephen.

The colors were shades of purple, merlot, and dashes of cream & green– with earthy accents. The overall look was something magical.

The beautiful bride:

The bridal bouquet was comprised of antique purple hydrangea, dahlias, amnesia roses, callicarpa berries, and framed with white hypericum berries:

We embellished the bouquet handle with a strand of pearls that was the bride’s “something borrowed”:

The father of the bride, seeing his lovely daughter (this picture made me get a little teary eyed. Mr. Putnam, you are the best dad in the world):

The boutonierres were composed of fresh acorns, callicarpa berries, hypericum, and manzanita lashings:


We of course fashioned a smaller version for the darling ringbearer

The bridesmaids carried a miniature of the brides bouquet– but we collared theirs in green hypericum for contrast:

Our darling flower girl carried a pomander of purple mums:

    The flower bouquet looks so nice and elegant along with the bride and everyone else involved with the wedding.
