As tomorrow is a big day for anniversaries for me – I wanted to start off this final flower fave blog post with my bridal bouquet from my wedding in the Dominican Republic!  Our Anniversary is tomorrow along with the Anniversary of the Magazine!

My best friend and Logistical Manager on staff Keya Beale made this bouquet for me.  She traveled to the Dominican Republic to be with us on that very special day!  We have had three brides this year fall in love with my bouquet (but those leaves can really only be found on the beaches of the Dominican Republic)!  We brought the beading down from some leftover Christmas decorations we found and picked the limes from a local market along with the phaleanopsis orchids!  My brother was our best man and photographer for the week, along with his wife and associate Angela – whom you will see a photo from her wedding below! (Documentary Associates)

This was one of my favorite photos taken by Jennifer Hughes this year for a wedding that will be featured in Baltimore Bride Magazine.  I love the bridesmaids bouquets as the ranunculus was just perfect that weekend in the spring and the hydrangea and mini cymbidium orchids complimented the overall color scheme of the day!

Not the fanciest of floral designs – but fun nonetheless. This wedding that we did with Sara from Bella Notte was photographed by Greg Gibson.  We love working with both of them and I, in general, just love limes.  A lot of the photos from this particular wedding are actually in the current brochure for the Decatur House!

And yes – if you have been following my blog over the past couple of months – I am obsessed with the Ourisman Wedding with images taken by Love Life Images.  Candace just let me get as creative as I wanted to be and the designs we created were flowers that I will never forget.  Their wedding will be featured in the Washingtonian Bride & Groom Shortly – so I am sure I will blog about them again!

I loved making this bouquet for my friend Angela, one of Tom’s associates at Documentary Associates.  This wedding and this photo always makes me smile for so many reasons.  First of all – I just love this photo.  The bouquet I made for her as a gift…but that day it rained like cats and dogs….I MEAN IT RAINED!!!  She got married on Chincoteague Island and my hubby and I strung up a bunch of lanterns in the small tent behind this lovely bed a breakfast.  By the time the rain stopped – there were literally DUCKS swimming underneath the tent, the lanterns were destroyed and the ceremony location had to totally be moved to a new location.  Of course, the wedding planner in me kicked in and everything worked out just fine. I am still so thrilled to see my two friends married and now happily awaiting a new baby!

Stay Tuned Tomorrow for the Anniversary Issue of Eco-Beautiful Weddings (and don’t forget its my anniversary too)!

Cheers!
