Destination Wedding in Naples, Florida – Part Two

We absolutely loved the all white floral color scheme in Naples.  Our main flowers were white peonies and white phalaenopsis orchids.  How can you go wrong?  The only sad part was we couldn't take the flowers back with us to Texas.  It darn near broke our hearts.  I think I even saw Stacey shed a little tear for those orchids during the breakdown of wedding. One of our favorite chuppah's to date:

It was covered in moss, orchids, roses, peonies, amaranthus, stock - you name it.  LOOOOVED it!

Below are more pictures of the stunning wedding.  Don't forget to check it out on Style Me Pretty here.

Destination Wedding in Naples, Florida – Part One

When Courtney Caplan of Caplan Miller Events asked us to design her brother's wedding, we were so honored she chose us!  Its such a compliment when we get referrals from our favorite event producers, but an even BIGGER compliment when asked to do their family's events.  Then she mentioned it was going to be in Naples, Florida at the Ritz Carlton.  We. Were. Floored.  We loaded up our van and had a road crew bring all over our favorite vases and vessels just for Lizzy and Kevin (the bride and groom).  Stacey and I flew into Miami a few days prior and finally got to meet all of our growers and distributors that we've spoken to over the phone and emailed for years, but never put faces to the names!  It was so fun to actually see the warehouses and facilities and make some new friends. The next few days went by really fast with designing, designing and more designing.  Unfortunately, the only time we had a chance to see and touch the beach was at 2am after all the design work was completed each night.  We hear its lovely in the daylight!

These pictures are from the fabulous rehearsal dinner Courtney and her team put on poolside at the Ritz.  From fire breathers to a steel drum band, no detail was overlooked.  Find more details being featured on Style Me Pretty this week!  Up next, the wedding...

We did it again! We landed on the front page of Style Me Pretty again for Amanda & Jamie's wedding at Vista West Ranch. Of course we're a little partial to Vista West Ranch, but it really is stunning. With the wonderful help of Aimee of Lizze Belle Event Planning and to the endless talent of The Nichols Photography, we helped create a beautiful affair for a fantastic couple. And to FILO Lighting for all their amazing work, without them are designs would be left in the dark! Literally!! The overall feeling was vintage and natural. "Just-picked" feeling was all over the place from the bud vases for centerpieces to the french buckets along the ceremony aisle. We adored the color palette of peaches and grays. SO YUMMY!

We have a saying over here at the studio when we love something: "I die" We totally "died" over this bouquet. In fact, Cindy at Vista West Ranch said it was her favorite bouquet - ever! And, she's seen a lot of bouquets!!
