Amy Talkington and Robert Adams
Savage Park & the Bride's grandparent's home on Swiss Avenue

Amy is an independent filmmaker, and Robbie does sound production for such bands as U2. They have amazing careers, and their wedding was equally wonderful. Their wedding reflected their artistic side, and it was a perfect night for the newly married couple. This is an amazing story...they both currently live in LA, but Amy is from Dallas and Robbie is from Ireland. They chose to get married in a park that was named after Amy's grandparents (Savage Park) and then parade down the street to Irish music to the reception venue. The reception venue happenned to be a home in the historical Swiss Avenue district of Dallas that used to belong to her grandparents. Her mother is currently living there. A wonderful sit down dinner was planned in the backyard using a collection of family china under a clear tent. There was so much personalization put into this...it was fabulous. We are so thankful to have been able to help plan this wedding and do the flowers. We could go on for pages about this event, but we won't...check out the pictures instead. Also check out several posts below this one to see the article about this wedding in the NY Times!!!

The photographer was Jake Holt out of Austin http://www.jakeholtphotography.com/. The pictures are so great!

Corey Fuller and Brandon Thompson
The Texas Discovery Gardens

Corey and Brandon had the ultimate garden wedding. We planned this entire event and did the floral design! Corey came to us with specific details and ideas, and we tweeked some of those ideas to make them a reality. The whole event had the theme of black, white, green...polka dots and circles. The ceremony was set up to represent the unbroken circle that is the love of marriage, friends, and family. We included such details as an old fashioned Coke Bar, cookies and milk, a very detailed menu with a famous Sangria recipe from a friend and the groom's guacamole recipe! It was a fantastic event!

Her photographers were Engaged Studio http://www.engagedstudio.com/. They did an amazing job!

I went a little overboard posting pictures of this wedding, but there was so much detail to capture! Take a look:

Angelica Toth and Jessie Salom

Perkins Chapel & The Peacock Terrace at the Anatole

Angelica was a girl that wanted her wedding to emit timeless elegance. She had a simple vision in her head of using candlelight and black magic roses to create an elegant wedding. We helped her streamline this idea by suggesting to make the ceremony all white and the reception all red. It added a touch of modern to her day. We did this using roses, calla lilies, orchids, and lots of pearl details. We also created a custom candlelight centerpiece using initialed vases. They turned out amazing.

Her photographer was Marcus Revilla of San Antonio www.marcusrevillaphotography.com

Jessica Chapman and Ben Newell

The Rotunda at JP Morgan Chase

Jessica came to us knowing exactly what she wanted: something modern, clean, bright, and untraditional. She was an untraditional bride...in fact, she didn't even have a wedding cake!! Instead, she served Paciugo italian ice cream to all her guests. How fun is that? We rose to the challenge and met her needs using hot pink roses, orange celosia, orange pincushion protea, green monkey's tail, hot pink gloriosa lilies, orange calla lilies, and orange dendrobium orchids. Sounds like a lot, but it all came together to create something unique, tropical, and unforgettable.

Check out some of her pictures below!

What an amazing shot of her bouquet!

A Stylish Soiree in the New York Times
(well kind-of)

We did a wedding that was featured in the New York Times. Although our names are not mentioned, it is still an amazing experience for us to know that we had a hand in the marriage ceremony and reception.

Thank you to Cristina Wisner!

Our friend, Cristina Wisner of WisnerPhoto (www.wisnerphoto.com) recently shot 3 of our bouquets that will be featured in the June issue of D Weddings. She did an amazing job, and we just wanted to say THANK YOU. Check out a few of the pics below.

Allison Allman and Elliott Pressler
First Methodist Garland & The Sky Lobby at The Dallas Petroleum Club

Allison came to us wanting to mix and match lots of styles. She truly wanted a high class look that matched the beauty of the elegant Sky Lobby. She loved bling, beads, branches, her initials, feathers and much more. We were worried that we wouldn't be able to put all of these styles together, but we tailored all this to fit into a beautiful, classy wedding with a garden twist. We created one of a kind centerpieces that were welded just for Alli. They were giant "P's" made of wrought iron holding pillar candles (picture to come). They turned out amazing! Her flowers were a mixture of roses, calla lilies, and anemones. The bride's bouqet was in ivory tones, and the bridesmaids had a pop of deep red and purple jewel tones. She was a wonderful bride, and it was such a joy to do her wedding.


Her photographer was Morgan Photography www.morganphotography.com.

Patti & Jason

Patti Perque and Jason Dallhoff
Hackberry Creek Country Club

Patti and Jason had a great wedding. It was filled with love, tons of family, and a rowdy party crowd. Patti is possibly one of the sweetest people we have ever met and her favorite flower is just as sweet: pink gerber daisies. We used this as a base to create a simplistic, laid back look that suited the bride and groom. We used a beautiful wrought iron arbor covered in gerber daisies in all shades of pink for the ceremony. The centerpieces at the reception were a mixture of those same daisies floating in a simple glass bowl. The wedding party flowers were mixtures of pink gerbers, lime green vibernum, and roses in shades of ivory to medium pink. The bride had a special addition of white tulips. The weather was WONDERFUL for an outdoor wedding in the spring, and it was the perfect start to a perfect life for the lovely couple.

Their photographer was Carl Ivonelli http://www.ci-photo.com/

Take a look at some of their pictures:

Commercial Photo Shoot

The photographer Edward Ramirez, http://www.edwardramirez.com/, invited us to his studio to do some commercial work. He specifically asked us to create some unique boutonnieres, bouquets, and centerpieces for him to shoot for a commercial booklet that he was putting together. It gave us a chance to use our creativity and come up with some truly one of a kind pieces.

Take a look:

A bouquet of black magic roses, queen of the night lilies, red mokara orchids, and a mixture of faux bronze beads.

A quirky little boutonniere with a red mokara orchid, green button mums, and a brown monkey's tail. The upside down shot makes it look like a work of art!

The AMAZING tree. We hand painted this tree chocolate brown and used hydrangeas, ranunculus, and orchids to give it a punch of color.

A simple pink calla lily with touches of faux green beads.

This a close-up shot of a bark pot that we made by hand. We filled it with garden flowers such as lilac spray roses, deep purple lisianthus, rosemary, and buplerum.

A peacock feather is the main accent of this boutonniere that is made of a white dendrobium orchid with faux purple berries.

Cymbidium green orchids, white denrobium orchids, pink spray roses, and white chrysanthemums add a unique texture to this bouquet.

This bouquet is a cheerful mixture of orange sunrise calla lilies, orange ranunculus, green button mum, orange spray roses, and white dendrobium orchids.
