Laura + Dino | Miami Beach Woman's Club
My friendship with Laura started when my family moved back to Florida and I was plopped in a tight knit class of 36 kids who had already known each other for 4 years. I was the new girl and a quiet slightly uncomfortable 7 year old. I'm not entirely sure when Laura and I became inseparable but it happened pretty quickly and I just knew she was going to be my best friend to the end.
Laura and Dino...oh where to begin? My friendship with Laura started when my family moved back to Florida and I was plopped in a tight knit class of 36 kids who had already known each other for 4 years. I was the new girl and a quiet slightly uncomfortable 7 year old. I'm not entirely sure when Laura and I became inseparable but it happened pretty quickly and I just knew she was going to be my best friend to the end. We've spent countless hours together, growing up and learning about life. We've been side-by-side on the stage, on a cheerleading squad, in the music room, on art projects, on the swing set, and now on her wedding day. I treasure our friendship and our memories and couldn't imagine any guy truly deserving of her silly awkward compassionate and loyal self, but then there was Dino. They complete one another in every sense of the word. Each second is genuine, every moment is cherished, and they make each little piece of time spent together a memory that matters.
Creating the florals for Laura and Dino's wedding will always be a surreal moment. Seeing your longest friend marry her better half is priceless enough. But watching her walk down the aisle, holding a bouquet that was just in my hands moments ago, that is something that can never be replicated. I was so lucky to spend my childhood and early adult life with Laura right there next to me all along, and Dino is just about the most perfect person to take it from here.

When you grow up in a small town, and then continue to live and work right down the street from that small town you're bound to eventually run into someone from high school - maybe even do the florals for their wedding. After a few emails back and forth, Danae and I eventually made the connection that we attended Atlantic High School together a few years back, which made designing for her and Ricky just that much more special and memorable.

Danae wanted to make sure everything felt romantic with a garden inspired touch and a bit of an edge. We incorporated black ribbon in her bouquet, but kept everything very loose, organic, and texturally diverse. Vintage metal coupes were used on each reception table and set upon vintage metal and mirror trays. Champagne and ivory acted as the base colors, while pops of deep tones shone through with the use of anemones. In the end, everything felt true to them as a couple and their style. I loved seeing every detail of this wedding come together and know they both have many happy and loving years ahead of them.
