This was a beautiful day for a wedding. Janie Sydney Heather and I had a wonderful time decorating this wedding at The Retreat at Bradley's Pond . As you can see from the pictures Danielle and Layne are a gorgeous couple so please enjoy. Thank you Polished Arrow for your great photography.  Danielle's Bouquet is a hand tied cluster of white roses and hypericum berries.   They were married by the lake under the pergola we strung white carnations like they were suspended in the air. What a beautiful setting.   With a burlap wrap to add that country rustic flair on the brides bouquet.  Sweet boys: the boutineers were white roses and a burlap leaf .

I had the privilege of meeting with Clyde at Willow Pond today. As I pulled into the parking lot he meet me with a very warm southern smile and we climbed into a golf cart and we were off to take a tour of his lovely wedding and party venue, Willow Pond. Just a short drive east of Tallahassee in Monticello, Florida. The air was fresh cool and crisp we couldn't have picked a better day. Our first stop was a little cabin where the bride and her bridesmaids can get dressed. Rustic and charming was written all over this cute cabin. From the front porch you could see "the pond" Clydes eyes light up as he talked about the wedding party from the bride down to the flower girl. The bride being carried away in  a horse drawn carriage and then reappearing for all her quest to see as she is brought in to be walked down the isle by her dad. The aisle is grass leading across a bridge the crosses the bluish green water then to a white gazebo where her groom awaits. We toured 4 locati...

Holly, mistletoe and evergreens are now seen everywhere during the holidays. The Romans were the first to “deck the halls with boughs of holly” as it was believed to have protective powers.   They would also hang holly on their doors to chase away evil spirits.
