Tears of Joy

I cry every time. You would think that seeing many weddings I would not, but I do. As I watch one of my brides take her father's arm and I give her dress one last fluff I get a lump in my throat and my eyes tear up.

I guess it's because of my own emotional investment in her wedding. Being instrumental in making her most important day beautiful is not just a job for me, it's my art and my heart is poured out into each wedding. Seeing it all come together, the joy in their faces and the beauty of a marriage begun never gets dull. It's invigorating every time.

Here are a couple of my own pics from this weekend, professional pics to come and will be added to our gallery.

Look at this beautiful head table. I love the shape. The bride & groom at the top with their attendants seated down either side. This design included two luxurious arrangement on top of glass cylinders with candles of various heights (you can't really see in the pic) and petals placed down the length of the table.


This low centerpiece to coordinate with the high added some variation and interest to the space. Again a luxurious arrangement with candles of various heights. Romantic! I placed these in the middle of the room with the talls around the outside.



We placed two of these gorgeous wreaths on the church doors, a wonderful greeting for wedding guests.
