I know that I haven’t posted in a while. Too much to do and just not enough time, particularly during the holidays. Then I get involved with reading everyone else’s blog and don’t have time for ours! There is just so much neat “stuff” out there. I can understand how brides get information overload!
We have worked with some wonderful brides over the last few months and it is always so nice to hear from them after the wedding. One of our sweet brides wrote – “Thank you for the wonderful flowers! I had no doubt they were going to be perfect and they were. You did a wonderful job; I couldn’t be more grateful!”. Thank you Audrey! It was a privilege to be part of your special day.

Another couple looking forward to a great marriage thanks to a rainy Saturday afternoon. Luky and Paul had planned an outdoor wedding at Villa Antonia, but Mother Nature had other ideas this past Saturday. So, we had to adapt the decoration of Texas smilax to the chapel instead of the arbor. Thanks to my helper for his creativity and ingenuity, it almost looked as if we planned it!

The bride’s bouquet was a short cascade with orchids, roses and more orchids. Regardless of the rain, she was a lovely bride and I am looking forward to photos by Lisa Shepherd.

Several of Mancino Iron Works pieces graced the reception. We decorated with blooms to complement the iron and centerpieces with dusty miller to capture the platinum color accents.


A lovely elegant look for a happy couple.

Rain symbolizes good luck…according to tradition, the more rain the better the marriage. In that case Jessica (of I Do Photography fame) and her new husband will have a fantastic marriage.
They were married on a drenching rainy Saturday – remember the rain that broke the heat wave – that was their day! And, it was a wonderful wedding with family and friends.
The only decent photo I managed to capture was of the wreaths on the chapel doors. I cannot wait to see and share the “real” photos taken by her partner Erica Nix “I Do Photography”.

More great photos from Matt Montalvo – The lovely and happy bride with her bridesmaids. All the bouquets were flowers in shades of purple with boutonnieres to match….


Centepieces in shades of purple against a background of black andwhite. Lovely white butterflies added a nice romantic touch to the centerpieces.

For a romantic summer wedding at Villa Antonia, strands of butterflies floating from the chandeliers provided a dramatic accent.

The happy couple featured in a great photo by Matt Montalvo. We had not worked with Matt before, but really like his photos.

The lovely bridal bouquet in shades of purple.

The adorable ring bearers – just too cute!
