Wedding Show Season

January has been a busy month for me at Floral Sense.  Over the last four months I have been focusing on advertising so I can get my amazing affordable designs out to many more brides.  Sunday January 26th was the third annual Wedding Marketplace at Woodfield in Grand Blanc.  The show started off a little slow with all the snow we were worried that the turn out would be low.  About an hour in things really started pickup up. Big thanks to my girl Angie for all the help with the show, Nordlie Flint for being the best wholesaler, Kitchen Glam for the matching aprons, and Special Occasions for the table and chair linens.  I can call the show a big success thanks to all your help.  I will definitely be busy all summer now!

Coming up next is our Vintage Wedding Inspiration at The Durant Hotel in Flint.  The next couple weeks I will be working hard to get all the amazing details coordinated with our participating vendors.  I'm also excited that a much better writer Mary will feature the shoot on her new blog The Wedding Roost!

Lastly our blog page has been giving a much needed face lift from my talented cousin. You can follow her blog at Life Unscripted.  She writes a little bit of everything and its all worth reading!  Thank you Elise!

Summer 2013

What a great busy wedding season!  This summer has been all about the rustic and romantic.  One of my favorite weddings this summer was Alissa's soft pink wedding.  I love the touch of rustic with the twine on the stems and boutonnieres.

A big thanks to Comer Photography for the awesome photos!

Another great light pink wedding I was super honored to be a part of was for my friend Natalie.  Her beautiful wedding was at Medowbrook Mansion.  The Mansion was more like a castle and Natalie looked a real princes.  Her bouquet was soft roses, orchids, ranunculus and some bling to top it off!

Thanks for all the great weddings this summer!  I'll be posting more soon.  BIG thanks to Denny at Double Exposure Photography for lots of referrals and I will be posting his photos as soon as I get them! 

2012 Weddings

Hello!  I have neglected this blog for the last year!  For those that don't know me personally, I've had a very busy year.  I had my third child in March, did over 20 weddings, and moved from Holly to Fenton.  My new shop is coming together and I'm excited to be planning many 2013 weddings!  Here are a few photos from some of the amazing weddings I got to work on this year.

It's all about the PINK!

Here are some of Sonya's professional photos.  I love how her photographer was creative and focused on the hot pink bouquets!

Bride Ashley's gorgeous pink Gerber wedding was a hit!  Here request was simple and elegant and that's what I delivered.  Special thanks to my cousin-in-law Angie and new designer Cristy for all the help with this one. 

This was a bouquet that I made just for fun.  My bank proudly displayed it for two weeks, when I picked it up its was still pretty!  My flowers are so fresh you could display them for two weeks after a wedding.

This wedding was white and light pink mini callas. The centerpieces were elegant and contrasted with the bright tables. 

Here is an wedding from last year, my sorority sister Carmen and her lovely hot pink roses!

Beth's Professional Photos

I have been so busy with weddings that I haven't had a chance to post any of the photos!  Here are some of Beth's professional photos.  Enjoy! 

Inn at St John's Wedding

Last Friday I had the opportunity to do a wedding and reception at a great location.  The Inn at St. John's is a stunning monastery with a beautiful chapel on location.  For the chapel the Bride picked elegant pomander balls from Special Occasion Design.  They were so cute! 

The front of the chapel had two standing bowls.  I did a spray arrangement of green and white that mirrored the arrangements in the reception area.  I used white larkspur, green bells of Ireland, and white hydrangeas.

The brides flowers were soft and romantic.  Her bouquet had the hydrangea, some soft pink roses, and white ranuculus.  The girls bouquets were done in the same colors with hydrangea and little pink roses.  I wish I had a picture of the bride in her dress.  She looked stunning.  I can't wait to see the professional photos.

The centerpiece arrangements were some of my favorites I've ever done.  The tall arrangements were simple yet impressive.  They had 5ft curly willow, hydrangeas and Bells of Ireland in honor of the brides heritage. 

 I'm so happy I got to do this wedding for a great couple!  More wedding photos to come soon!
