Garret and Taylor's Fall Wedding

Garret and Taylor's Wedding was a gorgeous burgundy and blush affair featuring lush, romantic florals with rustic touches. They were married this past fall at Bev's On The River in the outdoor area and had their reception inside the event hall. It was such a pleasure to work with this bride and her mother, as they were some of the most organized, efficient women EVER! 

Taylor teared up when I presented her with her big, wild bouquet complete with silk ribbon streamers (some of them from the famous Silk and Willow ribbon boutique). I loved the gorgeous local dahlias grown by Alissa's Flower Farm in Hull, Iowa mixed in with all of the ranunculus, foliage, and even a honeysuckle vine from my own cutting garden for a little whimsy. Her top knot hairdo was lovely with its hair flowers and trailing veil. 

The amazingly talented Jenni O Photography captured so many beautiful and special moments during the day that we just had to share some of these. Jenni is a fine art photographer, harnessing ethereal, natural light, artistic detail shots, and those intimate moments that are so inherent in weddings. Habitue's Cakes To Remember out of Lemars, IA provided individual cake centerpieces for her reception tables that we decorated with a touch of flowers. I also liked the rings suspended over the couple during the ceremony decorated in a variety of ferns, vines, and greenery. It was such a fun, creative process to help this family's ideas come to life and a pleasure to be part of this special day.
