Here we have something for the fall bride or groom with this cute escort card display complete with oranges, mini pumpkins, bamboo and little bit of gerbera daisy accents!

Limes and mum box with a bow

Another very popular design from a wedding we did several years ago.  Our cute little mum box display with limes!

Pears with French Tulips and Calla lilies

A fun and funky escort card display with submerged pears, artichokes and limes.   Beautiful peach French tulips and calla lilies burst from the tops of the vases.

PInk escort card arrangement with blueberries

Another one of our favorite escort card displays with various hues of pink gerbera daisies and pink hydrangea with a fun vase filled with blueberries!

Yellow apples centerpiece

I will end with something simple for the weekend!  A super summery arrangement with Antique Dutch hydrangea with pink peonies with yellow apples submerged in the vase.

Have a wonderful weekend and we will see you next week!

Things that a bride or bridesmaid should have…

Oh – the Kate Spade ring and bangle – love the color!!!!!!!!!!

And since I can’t wear high heels at weddings while I work – all my purple bound brides should have their rehearsal dinner dress complete with these Kate Spade shoes or have the bridemaids indulge in them for the wedding day! How yummy!

Fun eco-friendly bridesmaid gift!  Kudos to Coca-Cola for making eco-apparel! Check it out: www.coca-colastore.com

Hard to believe – but all of the above sexy and cute four photos come from one place – Enamore Ltd!  Oh the British are far ahead in their sassy ways!  All items are made from vintage and eco-friendly materials!

And last but not least – my favorite wedding professional of the week.  We have one of the most talented acoustic guitarists living amongst us!  His name is Chris Dunn!  Not only does he have his own CD, he teaches guitar too!  I have used his guitar services for many of my brides over the years and he is amazing. If you want fantastic ceremony, cocktail or dinner music – you must hire Chris Dunn!

Have an eco-beautiful wedding!

Cheers – Katie Martin
