I’m often asked if I have an event minimum, and I always enthusiastically respond, “Nope!” If I did, I would miss out on beautiful experiences like this. I met this couple through another bride (her blog is coming soon!) and I’m so glad that I was able to provide them with their elopement flowers. I got chills when I saw these photos by Vanessa! Elopements have a close place in my heart because my husband and I got married by a friend, and then spent the weekend in Big Sur. Looking over that ridge out onto Lake Jocassee brought me back to that sentimental time in my own life.

Back to the flowers! I loved putting a fun twist on a traditional bouquet filled with garden roses by adding in some more modern greens like leucadendron and a seasonal pop of color through the poms and mums. Selina and Mike eloped on Halloween, so she wanted a little pop of orange or rust in the bouquet to match the occasion. Their emotive gallery is below, along with the few vendors involved in their intimate day.
