Tori's Wedding

Flowers. Ohh flowers. I love them so, so much! I get it from my landscaping daddy and gardener mama - and they just make me so happy. Before my bridal portraits about 4 years ago, my mom and I decided that we were going to make my bouquet for the pictures ourselves. I think that's when my love affair with arranging flowers began. When my sweet friend Tori was in the midst of planning her gorgeous Charleston, SC wedding - I volunteered to make the bridesmaids bouquets. She definitely saved a lot of money, and I had so much fun making these beauties! My mom (my favorite assistant!) helped and I think they really turned out beautiful. The soft pink peonies and the lace ribbon might be my favorite parts. They were perfect with Tori's bridal bouquet from WildFlowersInc. Dying to do more bouquets and arrangements soon! (hint hint - who's getting married??)

The huge order from Horst Wholesale Florist

My gorgeous mama/assistant ;)

I always have to look at the bouquet in the mirror to see if I need to add anything…which I did!

I also made some little personalized mason jar chalkboard signs that were so cute on the bottles on the bar, and the picture garland from the shower we threw them was perfect there! She also used the gift sign and bride and groom signs from the shower and they looked great!
