Real Wedding - Aaron & Tara

Tara & Aaron had a beautiful, blue skyed fall day to celebrate their wedding. Tara & I planned on softer hues to compliment the deep tones of the bridesmaids dresses and chocolate and apricot linens. We created a 'tree' to hang the placecards with copper baby clothespins.

This sweet couple carried matching apricot pomander and ring bearer pillow.

Beautiful apricot pomanders lined the aisle at St. Joseph.

Apricot callas, peach roses and soft green lisianthus created this romantic round boquet.

The bridesmaids carried bouquets that complimented Tara's.

Aaron wore an apricot calla boutonniere to match Tara's bridal bouquet.


The room at The Oak Brook Lodge looked warm and inviting with the chocolate linens, apricot chair ties and lots of candlelight surrounding the high and low centerpieces.

The tall centerpieces of roses, stock and fall foliage sat atop clear vases with crystals.

The low centerpieces complimented the talls with a candle trio. The room glowed almost as much as the bride and groom.
Congratulations Tara & Aaron!

Fall Is In The Air

What?  How can fall be in the air when we are hoping for spring?  But fall seems to be a new favorite for weddings.  The rich colors and the beautiful weather are attracting many brides to consider September and October weddings.  There are many beautiful flower choices for a fall wedding such as hydrangea, dahlia and sunflowers.  If your dreaming of a fall wedding consider some of these combinations for your bouquet - 

Of course the classic sunflower is always a favorite in the fall.  This simple sunflower bouquet has a collar of greenery and is uniquely wrapped with a ti leaf instead of ribbon.  This bright bouquet looks great with deep, fall color bridesmaid dresses.   

This vibrant bouquet has a play on textures.  Orange celosia, tiramisu roses, orange callas each bring their own unique texture with seeded eucalyptus as a unique accent.  Peach callas are also incorporated to make the bold colors really stand out.

This gorgeous, round bouquet includes peach dahlias, orange roses, tiramisu roses, antique hydrangea and peach berries creating a soft autumn palate with a romantic feel.

Brides-to-be are excitedly looking to fall.  Of course there are many delights for spring, summer and winter too!
