Tis' the Engagement Season

As the holidays rapidly approach the "big question" will be poppin' right along with those celebratory champagne corks.

According to Liene Stevens of Think Splendid "Thanksgiving kicks off engagement season in the United States (the most marriage proposals occur between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day) and many couples will officially start their wedding planning."

We want to hear your story! If you get engaged this upcoming holiday season be sure to share your story with us! Did it go off without a hitch? Was it public or private? Well planned or spontaneous?

However it goes down, we want to know about it!

Real Wedding: Matt and Laura at the City Winery

 Major shout out to the Bee's Knees...if you don't already know about them, now you do. You MUST try one of their "cakecups", do it...like yesterday.

 

 

Designing the flowers for this wedding was extra special for me because the couple are dear friends of mine. Matt & Laura allowed me to have my freedom while creating the look for their wedding and I happily did just that. We used a simple summer color palette of buttery yellow garden roses, cafe au lait dahlias, subtle hints of green hydrangea and touches of white. The long banquet tables were perfect for the small intimate group in the City Winery's barrel room and I was able to use my favorite linen of the moment. It's a woven linen with a metallic thread running through it, kind of like a fancy rustic feel, perfect for the mix of silver and gold metallic candle holders and vases.
