"when life gives you lemons, make lemonade"
                                                -dale carnegie


when dale carnegie first said this notorious quote, i can't help but wonder 
if he knew one day it would describe wedding decor?

early last year i had the pleasure of meeting the most amazing bride and her mom, 
for which together we created the florals for this june stunner

june 12, 2011

(click any of the vendor's listed above to go to their website)


our breath taking bride carried a traditional cascade bouquet
roses... beach, skyline, quicksand, david austin garden rose patience,
safari & white majolica
mock orange (a stunning spring foliage) & english ivy



groom's boutonniere... quicksand rose with mock orange


i love the yellow tie!

the gentle men's beige suit's were a nice compliment to the gold tone's
used throughout the day




the foyer in tupper manor has 2 beautiful marble tables that are used for the 
escort cards & gift tables.
fresh lemons with green paper leaves (escort lemon leaves by, soiree, andover) sat arranged in the couples pottery barn galvanized tray's with all the 
guest's name's and table number's



tray's, pottery barn
lemons, les fleurs

escort leaves, soiree 
lemon's were used in many area's of the day... there were a few other idea's our beautiful bride had up her sleeves... crystal vases, silver dessert stands,
roses upon roses and ohh...balloons!!

tupper manor is such a beautiful venue and each couple brings their own personality to the space.  i have to admit however... i do think this june 12th wedding was one of my most favorite!  below leah haydock shot some stunning photo's of the balloon's in the conservatory.  the groupings of champagne, yellow and toffee colored balloon's were added to the 3-tier silver dessert stand centerpiece's







the conservatory was set with 1/2 3-tier dessert stand centerpieces 
and 1/2 crystal cake stand pave style centerpieces 
(with lemons of course)


white hydrangea, mock orange, lemon leaf, lemons, peonies and roses







following the ceremony for cocktail hour the couple had many yummy treat's including a lemonade bar



stunning gilded foyer inside tupper manor


crystal vases filled with roses were placed on the cocktail tables






"words of wisdom" cards by soiree were set out for
family & friends to offer the new couple advice



congratulations! xo, les fleurs
(thank you again leah for the amazing photo's to share with everyone!)


xo, the fleurette's
