With all the planning and getting ready for the big wedding day, Kathleen added fun to her picture taking process. Not only did she have beautiful portraits with of each Bridesmaid, she also took pictures that were playful and adorable! They were actually my favorites! 

 Kathleen (Swain) Murphy, April 7, 2012~ Congratulations!!!! Her Gerbra daisy bouquet was just perfect! She loved her daisies and they were everywhere adding light and color!! Thank you Flower Allie!

 Here's all the ladies including the adorable flower girl!

 One by one, Kathleen had fun. Isn't that what it's all about?

 This one is one of my favorites! So Cute!

 A really good joke works well anytime especially while taking pictures!!

 Priceless!

 Everyone got in the act and it was such a pleasure for me to witness the fun!

 Click, Click, Click... and the photos are done!

 The flower girl was part of the group and she added that special youthful charm!

Having Fun with Color!

Hi!

If you have an idea or ideas for your wedding, don't second guess, don't worry, just go for it! 

Kallie did and it was over-the-top fun with Color!

With the help of Alison of Flower Allie, the flowers were just what Kallie wanted! They Popped! Here are some more photos (thank you BrandiBarrPhotography) of more details to  show how much fun we had with Color!

The Bride's bouquet, rich and colorful and loaded with texture!  

The wine celar door made a great backdrop!

This is one of the windows of the gazebo where the cake is displayed. I just loved Kallie's little milk jugs. I added a few flowers and it just was so much fun!

Here's the gate photo... up close. It's just so cute! Come on in!

I found this picture and I just loved it! Here's Kallie with her Dad. They stopped on the chalk hearts on the walkway for everyone to see her.   Dad leaned in for a precious kiss before continuing on to present her to Nick.   

The Candy Station! Yummmmmmmm! Fun with Color!!

The  Centerpiece! Actually, Kallie decided on two different styles.... Half had the lanterns with flowers...

 The other half had mini colorful chandelieres... but we added flowers instead of candles! The placemat is a woven ribbon square! The ribbon theme was everywhere!!!

Kallie and Nick decided on a sweetheart table. So, their table was set with our vintage pink depression glass and a vintage lace overlay! Her floral wired vase was at first a challenge for me. She wanted it on her table to display  her bouquet but it looked to plain to me. I came up with this...

 I added another vase inside and surrounded it with fresh rose petals! She got her vase, her bright flowers and a beautiful vessel for her bouquet.

What's your idea? 

I'm here to help!

Love,

Daisies For Kathleen and David's Wedding Day!

Hi!

I am so excited to post a few of Kathleen and David's wedding photos. I just received them from Jeray and Kim Photography and I can hardly wait for MORE!

The windows were used for the guest's seating and accented by her daisies!  They were fun and playful while adding just the right touch for her outdoor wedding.

 Here's the adorable  Flower Girl with her daisy head wreath! Flower Allie mixed a touch of Monte Casino daisies to the head piece and created such a precious accent.

I don't think I ever get tired of posting a road shot of the Bride and Groom. This picture was taken on April 7th just before the flowers were in full bloom on the drive. Jeray and Kim framed the couple with the trees and bushes to create this magnificent photograph! 

The Bridesmaid's black dresses was the neutral color that made Kathleen's daisies POP!

 Kathleen with her black accent on her dress! Just beautiful!

 And here's David!  He's the quiet type and so handsome.

 Kathleen and David took advantage of the front courtyard's Vienna Gates for this photo... another great back drop!

 The wedding cake found its home in the gazebo with the crystal chandelier above! The intricate black lace accented  the bottom layer, black dots added just a touch of black to the middle and the cake topper adorned the top layer! The vintage cake stand was weaved with black ribbon for just the touch Kathleen wanted!

 Ahhh, Kathleen's daisy bouquet! Can you see the black centers of the Gerbra daisies? Little jewels were added to the delicate Stephanotis blooms to create her "Country Sparkle" bouquet.

 With the natural lighting from the window behind Kathleen, this is one of my favorite photographs.

Thank you Jeray and Kim Photography for the photographs. Thank you Kathleen and David for allowing us to host your beautiful wedding and reception. I miss you already!

Love,
