Samantha & Andrew | Fort Lauderdale, FL

Samantha wanted her wedding to feel like a backyard party that you never want to end. She didn’t want a lot of fuss, she just wanted her favorite people in one place, good food, on a balmy Florida evening, and a promise of forever to the love of her life. Samantha, Andrew, and their families feel like a big hug. They all love each other with certainty and want to pull you into their party. It’s the best feeling.

Samantha and Andrew’s wedding felt quintessential Florida. We designed a bougainvillea arch with Las Olas as the backdrop, with dinner and dancing hosted on the deck of a historic home on the river.

A romantic runner of structural calla lilies and glowy pillar candles ran the length of their tables. Disco balls were sprinkled about, while disposable and polaroid cameras were passed around.

Sweet words from the couple

Simply amazing! Jenny made the entire process so great. Not only is Jenny so sweet and laid back, but she fully handles ALL things floral, decor, and coordinating. I have never heard of a florist who also does month of coordination, but she was invested and involved in multiple phone calls and design meetings that included emails with pdf explanation of exact planning ideas, and whatever needed to be changed was easily dealt with. I was able to see visuals of everything we had envisioned mapped out, and for someone who is extremely visual I found it so helpful! She ensured everything would be taken care of. When it came to the day of the wedding, she coordinated with all my vendors and I didn’t need to lift a finger. She set up a massive arch , that she made(!), with beautiful flowers and fully decorated a station for scrapbooking as well as made my Pinterest vision of a romantic, candle-lit dinner vibe come to fruition! Lastly, by the end of the night when all I wanted to do was hang with my guests, she collected every single belonging and decor item packed them up and we just got to relax! Truly, I cried with her by the end of the night because it was that good of an experience. I consider Jenny a friend now, and I would highly HIGHLY recommend her!
