Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to help transform a beautiful backyard of a local Ocean City-area family... all for a wedding ceremony and reception! Brookes and Neil tied the knot in the backyard of a stunning home on the Fourth of July. The view of the bay was nothing but extraordinary. With a color scheme of dark purple, grey & silver, the couple chose to incorporated calla lilies, picasso lilies, lavender roses, plum orchids, purple hydrangea & deep purple stock flowers into their wedding day. The bride's bouquet was so pretty. The slightly cascading shape of the bouquet and...

Last Saturday, in the midst of 60 mile per hour winds and a rainstorm that hung over Ocean City for two days, Jamie & Jonathan tied the knot... and they didn't let the storm stop them! With 22 of their closest friends and family members standing by their sides, their wedding dreams came true. More than 100 guests enjoyed a ceremony overlooking bayside Ocean City and then moved to a large reception space with a fantastic view of the Atlantic Ocean. Both the ceremony and the reception took place at Peaky's Restaurant. [caption id="attachment_9140" align="aligncenter" width="660"] photo by dana marie photography[/caption] Begonia,...

The bridesmaids wore turquoise dresses and carried bouquets of all white... The bouquets were traditionally shaped and hand-tied. Each bouquet featured more than 10 different types of blooms, were tied with beautiful grosgrain ribbons, and pinned with pearls. It was a pleasure working on your wedding flowers, Brian...

Devin and Brad did it right! They exchanged nuptials in the garden of a small, historic building in their hometown and celebrated with a reception at the bride's small boutique just down the street. The bride arrived via horse-drawn carriage and awed the audience composed of friends and family. I had such a great time walking around the reception venue, talking to the bride's mother, and checking out all of the hand-made details on Devin & Brad's wedding day. The newlyweds had booked me as their wedding florist this past winter. I must say, that receiving an email from Devin asking...
