October was our busiest wedding month this year. I will share more weddings as I get pictures.  It was so much fun and each and every bride was a joy to work with. Amy Forman with Payapa Wedding Planning  did an awesome job bringing this event together. She is always a pleasure to work with. Christie Meresse  was the photographer and that is how I am able to share these beautiful pictures. The Brides Colors where shades of purple. Her flower Choices were hydrangea, roses, tulips & calla lillies.  The setting was  Goodwood Museum and Garden .   Pomanders handing from chairs made with purple carnations.  Tall vases with branches and purple hydrangea add height.  Cylinder glass vases filled with purple tulips centerpiece.  I am loving this one, with purple hydrangeas calla lilies, and tulips in a cylinder clear glass vase.  The bride and groom went with cupcakes Lucy and Leo's Cupcakery instead of the traditional cake. ...

Nothing is set in stone but it is useful to have a plan to start so you know who is paying what.
