A Modern Wedding at Enterprise Mill

No roses, no problem! I can’t lie, roses are one of my favorite flowers to use in wedding designs. When our bride thought they were too ordinary, we had to think out of the box! Her favorite flower was a white lily, so that was integrated (of course!), along with delphinium, to create an elegant and modern array of floral designs. The gallery is below of this stunning, industrial, and unique wedding at Enterprise Mill.

Emerald Green Wedding in Downtown Augusta

These two tied the knot on the rainiest day we had had in a while, but you certainly can’t tell by looking at these photos! We used a mix of neutral tones and deep emerald greens to match the bridesmaid dresses and other decor. I will admit I was a little nervous with their wedding being on Valentine’s Day weekend AND upon learning the mother of the bride was a former florist, but it all came together so well!

Fall Elopement at Lake Jocassee

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.

I N G R E D I E N T S

Juliet garden roses, blushing majolica spray roses, rust daisy poms, burgundy chrysanthemum, leucadendron, painted privet berry, seeded eucalyptus, and olive leaf.

Bright Summer Wedding

This wedding was a joy to create. I get a lot of requests for ivory and green wedding flowers, so I welcomed the change of color palette. I also wondered how the bride found me! Her requests were to use flowers that have a lot of petals (garden roses and peonies, hellllllooo!) in varying shades of pink, with a rustic but classic feel to them (cue the burlap wrap and eucalyptus).

As always, the vendors are listed below from this colorful Enterprise Mill wedding. Hope the flowers make you smile when you see them like they did to me!

I N G R E D I E N T S

Juliet, Wabara miyabi, and baroness garden roses, pink peonies, hypericum berries, ruffled lisianthus, and astilbe, blush spray roses, white alstroemeria and ranunculus, garden grown dusty miller, seeded and silver dollar eucalyptus, burlap, and twine.

Southern "Something Blue" Wedding

Being able to work at such uniquely southern venues has been an unexpected perk of this job. I grew up in southern California so every time we roll up to a traditional southern home, I get all googly-eyed at the sight of it.

Quinney Oaks didn’t need much as far as floral accents go. It was cleanly overgrown with English ivy and Spanish moss hung from the grandiose oak trees. Our bride was all about textural elements so we focused on bringing those into the bouquets and simple bud vase centerpieces using thistle, brunia berries, and Queen Anne’s lace.

The highlight for me, design-wise, was a massive pergola that the bride and groom were married on. Y’all (I can say that now, right??), we used a total of 32 feet of garland on that baby! Shoutout to my work husband/real husband that climbed atop and was perched like a freakin’ gargoyle tying it to the border, while my mom and I alternated holding my little one as it was drizzling on and off most of the morning (because why wouldn’t it be?).

The end result was a beautifully modern take on a traditional wedding scene. Scroll through to see the work we put in on this one.

I N G R E D I E N T S

Escimo + vendela roses, ivory spray roses, white ranunculus and hydrangea, disbud mums, silver dollar and seeded eucalyptus, variegated pittosporum, Italian ruscus, Queen Anne’s lace, gypsophila, dusty miller, brunia, and blue dynamite eryngium (thistle!).

A Rustic Spring Wedding

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: This wedding was so fun to work on! I met Holly and Jamie over a year prior to their wedding date at My Unreal Wedding Expo in 2018, and soon after we sat down to talk over their wedding vision in its entirety. They worked so hard to make their wedding unique and personal.

They had handmade lanterns stained to match their wedding entrance and arbor, honey from the groom’s father’s bees as wedding favors, and a plethora of goodies they collected and customized in the months leading up to the big day. It was an honor to help bring Holly’s vision to life with flowers, foliage, and other accents like the feathers and cotton you’ll see throughout.

I N G R E D I E N T S

Vendela roses, ivory spray roses, white hydrangea, sword and leather leaf ferns, silver dollar eucalyptus, myrtle, pittosporum, pom daisies, scabiosa pods, gypsophelia/babies breath, pheasant, duck, and turkey feathers, antlers, a skull, cotton stems, burlap, and twine.
