Congratulations Wendy & Isaac

Wendy and Isaac's outdoor ceremony was beautiful! Earlier in the week I was worried about rain and/or humidity, but the weather cooperated wonderfully! The ceremony was held at Horseshoe Pond at the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. A cellist played as the matron of honor, flower girl and bride made the way down the aisle. The bride's processional song was "She" by Elvis Costello. Lanterns and cherry blossom fans tied in the Japanese touches the couple are so fond of, and instead of a unity candle the couple chose to put the finishing touches on an art project together. Love that idea!

The reception was held at the River Brasserie in Cuyahoga Falls, where there is a gorgeous view of water falls just outside. Simple centerpieces of floating Gerbera daisies and candles were on every table, and the head table had a Bonzai tree to again tie in the Japanese theme. The favors were Japanese candies packed in traditional take-out boxes. Then there was the cake....a four tiered beautiful creation with gorgeous coral sugar orchids by White Flower Cake Shoppe. After dinner, a live band played for the remainder of the evening.

Wendy, it was a pleasure working with you on planning and coordinating the details of your special day. You are a true sweetheart, and you and Isaac make a perfect couple! We wish you many more years of happiness together, and have a fabulous honeymoon in Japan! Can't wait to see photos!

Daily Inspirations :: Baby's Breath

Baby's breath is a love it or hate it type of flower. If used wrong, it could scream 1984 in a bad way. But if you use it creatively and in large amounts, it can create a visually stunning effect. It's popularity is coming back around these days, and here's why: here are a few examples of event designs I love using baby's breath....

Congratulations Ulah & Mickey

I worked on my first wedding of the season yesterday, and it was such a beautiful event. I got to deliver the bouquet directly to the bride, and she looked radiant! Best wishes to the happy couple!
