Taylor & Tyler | Sundy House
Taylor was living in Hawaii but knew she wanted to celebrate in our perfect little hometown, while still pulling elements of Hawaii into her design. Her vision included a variety of florals and greens that would emulate the lush tropical scenery of her current home.
There’s something magical about my hometown. It has a way of pulling me back over and over. This time it was Taylor who helped pull me back in after spending a year away due to the pandemic. Phyllis (my grandmother, a national treasure) had to be protected at all costs. Taylor was living in Hawaii but knew she wanted to celebrate in our perfect little hometown, while still pulling elements of Hawaii into her design. Her vision included a variety of florals and greens that would emulate the lush tropical scenery of her current home. After a visit to a nursery, the flower shop, and my grandma’s backyard- Taylor’s Hawaiian rainforest - with a romantic touch, sprung to life at the historic Sundy House.

Patricia & John | The Flagler Museum, Palm Beach
The Flagler Museum has been one of my favorite venues since the beginning. Patricia and John dove right into the romantic and regal side of this historic spot. The head table was a showstopper with a lush runner running the length of the table composed of hydrangea, roses, and other garden florals that evoked the elegance of an English garden.
“I am back from my honeymoon and wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for everything!!! The flowers were all spectacular and just what I had envisioned! I kind of wish the runner was fake so I could take it home and keep it forever on my dining room table. We were all raving about how beautiful the flowers were! It was all so beautiful - my flowers, the bridesmaids, the flower girls…don’t even get me started…between the crowns and the baskets!!!! Oh my… Everything was so perfect and I can’t thank you enough for all the hard work and time that you put into make my day perfect. ”

Mary & Spencer | The Ocean Club of Florida
Mary + Spencer are joy bottled up. They illuminate around each other. They look at each other, I mean really look at each other. It isn’t just one of them looking, it is both of them looking at each other with the same, “I can’t believe this is my person” look on their face every single time. During their first dance Mary twirled around the floor as they sang to each other, and I sat on the sidelines weeping like a weirdo. Their love is palpable.
Before scrolling through this gallery any further, do yourself a favor and queue up Mary + Spencer’s first dance song: “I Will Follow You” performed by Toulouse. Got it? Ok great, now a little gush session on these two. There are all kinds of couples in the world. There are serious couples focused on careers and goals. There are playful wander off into the wilderness for years couples. There are some that fall in the middle, some who have known each other since they were five, or those who found each other again after years apart. Regardless of the coupling, it’s those little sparks that ignite two people to choose each other. Mary + Spencer are joy bottled up and it feels electric. They light up around each other. They look at each other, I mean really look at each other. It isn’t just one of them looking, it is both of them looking at each other with the same, “I can’t believe this is my person” look on their face every single time. During their first dance Mary twirled around the floor as they sang to each other, and I sat on the sidelines weeping like a weirdo. Their love is palpable. When I asked Spencer if he was ready right before walking down the aisle all he said to me was, “I’m just so ready to marry her”. Not in a rushed let’s get this over with kind of way. Nope, this was in a way which made you really believe he had been waiting for this moment his whole life - or at least since the moment he had met Mary.

Emily & Rob | Jupiter Beach
I may live in Oregon now, but receiving photos from Emily and +Rob’s summer wedding back in Florida really left me craving a visit to those blue oceans.
Emily’s color and texture selections from Rob’s suit to her bouquet made this day all that more “yummy”. Seriously though! The way the pops of orange play off the creamy pinks and vibrant yellows reminds me of a chic ambrosia salad. Up against the blue of Rob’s suit and the constant blue of that South Florida sky, how could you not fall in love with playful colrs and Kallima Photography’s beautiful photography. Emily leaned into Florida’s colorful personality without being overtly obvious and adding that level of sophistication it deserves.

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.

Stephanie & Cal | Gulf Stream Bath and Tennis Club Wedding
Cal and Steph's wedding marks the 4th time I've been able to design with and for friends and I'm so in love with how everything came together. Cal and Steph wanted something elegant while also being boldly tropical. Their ocean side reception was a little tropical oasis for the evening and the room was quickly filled with plenty of laughs and an electrifying dance party.
I've hit that time in my life where I'm lucky enough to create for friends and for their families. The first few years of business I mostly worked for clients who happened to find me on a vendor list or an internet search, which was amazing and allowed me to meet new people who I still keep in touch with. Cal and Steph's wedding marks the 4th time I've been able to design with and for friends and I'm so in love with how everything came together. Cal and Steph wanted something elegant while also being boldly tropical. For their ceremony we pulled in tropical leaves and more traditional flowers such as hydrangea and calla lilies to line the aisles and adorn an entry arch. When guests arrived at their reception, they were welcomed into a lush tropical affair with vines intertwined in large chandeliers, birds of paradise brightly popping up on tables, and greenery runners sprinkled with bright pops of color and textural florals. Their ocean side reception was a little tropical oasis for the evening and the room was quickly filled with plenty of laughs and an electrifying dance party.

Courtney & Drew | Flagler Museum Wedding
Courtney and Drew wanted to welcome guests into an ethereal waterfront estate wedding. We filled their tables with lush greenery garlands with touches of white blooms incorporated throughout. Courtney's bouquet was a dreamy neutral collection of dainty hellebores, fluffy peonies, plush scabiosa, and champagne roses. Everything felt elegant and delicate, bringing the garden inside and setting the tone for a romantic wedding among the stars.

Stephanie Joy & Jason | Sundy House Wedding
Stephanie and Jason are one of those couples who make you believe in true, deep, never-ending soulmate love. When she would talk about him in our meetings her face illuminated. She loved the details, and wanted her wedding to be beautiful and different - but at the end of the day all she cared about was the fact she got to say, "I do", to a guy she was head over heels in love with.

Stephanie's vision was a departure from the neutral romantic requests I often receive. She wanted something moody, rich, and creamy. Sourcing florals for her arrangements was such a creative nosedive for me and I'm so in love with the early fall color palette. It is edgy but natural and muddy in the best way.
I wish I could plan a wedding with Stephanie once a year. The excitement and joy she brought to the whole experience fueled me up for the rest of this wedding season. Forever grateful for her family and being a small part of her wedding day journey.
