Real Wedding - Sara & Ramon

I had so much fun planning Sara & Ramon's wedding.
After an initial meeting at the studio I met with Sara and her parents at the church and venue to go over ideas and the best way to make both spaces look fabulous.
Sara's bridesmaids were wearing beautiful blue taffeta dresses so we chose greens & ivory for an elegant contrast. Sara was very open to textures and creativity in her bouquets and centerpieces (which is one reason it was so much fun.) In her bouquet below you'll see peony, calla, lisianthus, tulip and hanging amaranthus. The shape of her bouquet was a beautiful compliment to her mermaid shaped gown. A modified cascade or teardrop flowed beautifully and looked modern and sophisticated at the same time.

Sara wanted flowers everywhere so to make the most of the flowers we designed church arrangements that would become centerpieces with a few additional touches.

Above they were placed on pillars in the church, below they are placed on tall curved vases - we added a couple of extra flowers to fill out the bottom and it worked beautifully.


At this Chicago Cultural Center wedding we wanted to keep an elegant and luxurious feel making sure to compliment the room and also realize Sara's vision for her wedding.

This little arrangement was the perfect touch on the highboys during cocktail hour.



Low centerpieces complimented the tall centerpieces and we added elegant, curved candles.
