This wedding was in the middle of the beautiful Garvan Woodlands Gardens in Anthony Chapel, a beautiful glass chapel at the peak of Fall in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Lindsey and her mom created her exquisite wedding dress as well as her dark green velvet bridesmaid dresses. She wanted all the beautiful colors of the season to come out in her bouquets, with many textures, as many interesting flowers as there could be so we used copper colored roses, touches of lavender, antique hydrangeas, scabiosa pods, green amaranthus, orchids and berries to create these. We added dried lavender and created the boutonnieres with lavender, brunia berries and copper wire. The ceremony decorations were very simple with candles, grapevine and a touch of white flowers to compliment the bride's bouquet. Copper cones filled with flowers complimenting the bridesmaids bouquets were attached to the pews down the aisle.

The reception was at a wonderful historic hotel with beautiful gold moldings and chandeliers, so we used gold manzaneta branches in gold, draped in white dendrobium orchids in vintage pots with copper and white flowers. Gold lace table runners were added to white table cloths. Two tall manzaneta trees in white urns were set at the entrance to provide a place for dozens of tiny pictures of the bride and groom and family. Votives hung from the branches to create candlelight in the magnificent room. It was so much fun to create just what Lindsey envisioned.

The beautiful pictures were taken by Carper Creative Photography in Little Rock Arkansas.

Grace and Jason’s wedding was another spring wedding at the beautiful Marie Gabriel Restaurant. Grace wanted a vintage but eclectic look for the wedding using soft pastel colors of peach, yellow and cream flowers. She loved peonies, ranunculus, anenomes, and roses but also the idea of manzaneta branches and votives and several combinations of those on the tables.

The ceremony in the garden had cylinder vases filled with hydrangeas and candles down the aisle to a beautiful crystal chandelier hanging from the tree branches for a focal point.

The entry to the reception greeted everyone with a vintage window frame of pictures of Grace and Jason and many wonderful quotes, songs and verses meaningful to them that they put together. We were excited to find a window frame to hinge together to make this display for the entry table. It has really caught on, as many brides have used this we have displayed quotes and pictures personal to them.

The bride’s bouquet had soft cream peonies, roses, touch of greenery with a beautiful diamond wrap. The bridesmaids’ bouquets were cream, peonies, soft peach garden rose, peach ranunculus and wrapped in a wonderful gold sleeve, monogrammed in black initials for each girl in their wonderful black dresses.

It was such a pleasure to work with Grace and her mom. Her ideas were so fun, creative and reflected her personality perfectly.

This wedding created many memories for the Roselady team. First of all, the groom Peter has known the Roselady family since he was born It was neat for us to get to help with the flowers for his big day after all of these years. This wedding was to take place outdoors at the Arboretum but unfortunately there were horrible thunderstorms. As our team was packing up to install the wedding, the tornado sirens went off! We laughed as we made raincoats out of plastic to get into the vans. Even though the wedding ceremony moved inside, the wedding was absolutely beautiful and sweet. We worked hard to give the wedding the outdoor feel by adding our outdoor arrangements inside and we placed votive candles along all the windows for a romantic touch. The Arboretum team was
fantastic and together we pulled it off! The guests came with their umbrellas and the bride and groom were beautiful.

Eleanor was a joy to work with and brought us beautiful ideas. Pink and white peonies were her favorite so we designed full bouquets of peonies, garden roses, anemones, lisianthus, wax flower accented with Rosemary. She wanted a collection of "Shabby Chic" vases to create a warm, romantic and colorful look. We made an arch filled with cherry blossom branches for the alter, pew buckets made of ivy, peonies and garden roses with a carpet of rose petals.

Brittany and Michael were married at one of our favorite sites, Marie Gabrielles. Brittany came to us with great ideas and she was an absolute blast to work with. Brittany chose a beautiful white bouquet made of white hydrangeas, freesias, roses, veronica, bear grass and stephonotis with blue pearl pins wrapped with a turquoise blue ribbon and a fabulous rhinestone collar. For the ceremony, the bride asked for a carpet of rose petals, modern pew arrangements made of a hurricane vase, candle and a white hydrangea.
Brittany wanted a collection of calla lilies, orchids, parrot tulips and bear grass to embellish the reception. Our favorite arrangement was the collection of 5 vases for a grand entrance made of calla lilies, hydrangeas and orchids accented with rose petals. Congratulations!

Ashley and Mark were married in Austin, TX where they both attend UT Law School. The reception was at Thistle Cafe, which is decorated so great that Ashley asked us to just do the florals for the ceremony and wedding party. Ashley has a great creative eye and wanted to use a bold scheme of purple and green. She asked that the bouquets would look as if she had gone into a field and gathered many different flowers to create a whimsical and gathered look. We used a combination of freesia, hydrangea, ranuculus, stock, garden roses, anemones, hyacinth and lisianthus to achieve this look. We had a blast working with these beautiful colors. Congratulations Ashley and Mark!

We learned so much about the Indian culture for this wedding! We worked hard with Maunica and her mother-in-law to be Jane to design flowers for the ceremony, Garba and dinner at the Crow the next evening. The ceremony was at Winfrey Point. The space was beautifully transformed with a Mondav at the alter, red carpet, gold chivaree chairs and tables dressed in ornate linens.The ceremony was filled with bold colors of red, yellow, golds and oranges so we selected white flowers for the centerpieces filled with white roses, calla lillies, freesia, lisianthus and orchids.

The next evening was an elegant dinner at the Crow Museum. We designed Asian inspired trees accented with white cymbidium orchids, hanging red votive candles and soft rocks to decorate the place card table. The roselady team decorated the tables with mosaic lanterns, antique elephants, place cards, mirrored boxes and beautiful linens. We enjoyed learning so much and we had a great time designing this wedding!

We were very excited to do the flowers for this wedding. We have known Rebecca and her family for many years, which makes the planning process such a delight! Rebecca is a true romantic and wanted a beautiful and elegant wedding. She chose a cascade bouquet combination of crème vandella roses, white hydrangea, amaranthis, green berries, veronica, white agapanthus, lysmachia and touches of green and crème held by a gold elegant bouquet holder. She designed the bridesmaids' bouquets to compliment hers with a creme and green color scheme. The couple chose the Frontiers of Flight Museum for the reception because of Ben's love for airplanes. We kept the romantic feel in the room and added gold trees that were accented with votive candles to create a whimsical ambiance. After a precious first dance to "My Girl" with her Dad, great conversation, sorority songs and cake the bride and groom left in style in a jet! Congratulations Ben and Rebecca!

Working with Whitney and her mother, Patty was such a joy. After knowing each other for years, it was so wonderful to work with them to create exactly what they had imagined for Winfrey Point. Whitney loved soft pinks, cremes and accents of teal. She had a meaningful broach to use on her bouquet and used roses and accents of soft pink to create her look. Whitney and Patty worked hard to transform Winfrey Piont and did an amazing job. We decorated the fireplaces, columns, doors, handrails with roses and garlands. We had such a wonderful time working with the Schimmings and we wish the happy couple all of the best!

Shelby and Stone are such a gorgeous couple and wanted a beautiful outdoor wedding surrounded by family and friends. We had done her sister's wedding a few years ago and it was a joy to do the flowers for Shelby's wedding. Shelby selected whimsical bouquets of white roses, hydrangeas, eucalyptus and curly willow to compliment the brown bridesmaids dresses. The groomsman wore "flame" calla Lilly boutonnieres accented with eucalyptus to compliment there fantastic orange ties. For the reception, we used three different centerpieces to decorate the room to give Shelby the "organic, whimsical and warm" feel she desired.
