If music be the food of love, play on...

So this amazing photographer asked me to do a styled wedding shoot with her. I'm so honored to have been a part of this! So much fun planning and making everything, I mean, who doesn't love getting to plan another wedding!
I absolutely adore how natural Chelsie's photography is, the gorgeous natural lighting and unposed look of her subjects, it's just stunning! Check out her website here: Chelsie Moreland Photography. So psyched to have been part of this (did I mention that already :-))!
And I have to give credit to the rest of the people who helped to make this happen: We had a great make-up artist, Lacy Covey. My aunt and uncle let us use their beautiful land. Chelsie's husband let us use the horse trailer, Marxophone, and even their dining room table! And we had incredible models. Which I need to brag on a little more. Seriously, the models (my friends Andy and Kerri), were amazing. They worked in terrible conditions: heat,wind, bugs, no food for hours, and were incredibly helpful and patient. Andy let us borrow his beautiful phonograph and Kerri found her own dress and shoes to wear and they really made the shoot work. I mean, look how adorable they are:

So, now for the rest of the photos, which Chelsie has graciously lent me. Please only copy and repost with her permission. I seriously want to post all of them, but I will try to narrow it down.

So I was going for a kind of old world music feel, with a little rustic Nebraska countryside thrown in of course :-).

And yes, that giant flower on the wall is what our August Class is on (but the ones we make in class will be slightly smaller, that one is seriously 3 feet in diameter).

And a few more pretty pics to leave you with

All That Glitters...

What do you do when you want to have a winter wonderland themed wedding and real flowers don't seem to fit in? Our client decided to go with paper flowers with lots of sparkle and shine, reminiscent of snow sparkling on a winter landscape. We made over 80 individual flowers to go in the reception table centerpieces. Some of those are pictured below.

We also made boutonnieres and corsages. We tried to keep the bouts clean and simple with not too much sparkle as to not scare off the guys from wanting to even put them on. :) Our client requested the music note ones for the musicians to wear. :)

The corsages on the other hand...These were encrusted with glitter. Each flower was sprayed with adhesive and dusted with iridescent glitter. Liquid silver glitter glue lined the edges. And as a final touch, gems were added to the centers.

Our client provided us with glittered snowflakes and antique silver cones in various shapes and sizes for the bridesmaid bouquets. We added glittered paper flower petals and white feathers to make the wintery bouquets.

Awesome clients with a very unique wedding and we are so grateful for the opportunity to design their flowers! If you are friends with me on facebook, you'll know that toward the end of the order I felt like my person and everything I owned had been covered with glitter and feathers! But in the end, I won the epic battle with glitter and from what I hear, my client had a gorgeous wedding. If I get any pics from the wedding, I will post soon!
