Wedding at Swan Harbor Farm ~ Havre de Grace, Maryland

I truly do have the pleasure of designing flowers for some of the nicest people. This bride and groom were especially sweet to work with. Their wedding took place at Swan Harbor Farm in Havre de Grace Maryland with the Chesapeake Bay as a beautiful backdrop. The color palette is what I enjoyed most about this wedding with the corals, oranges and peaches, it added the perfect pop of color for a fun summer wedding. I also loved how the bride incorporated her own creativity and designed her own wedding invitations. Thanks Lauren R Swann Photography 

for these beautiful photos.Enjoy!!!

Crown Plaza Wedding ~ Crystal City Virginia

This was a great kick off to the 2015 wedding season! I was absolutely honored to be the florist for this wedding. The couple was incredibly amazing to work with and married at St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington DC with their reception to follow at Crown Plaza in Crystal City. I don't know if it was me, but I felt love all around me at this wedding. The bride and groom were blissfully happy all day.

Vivian Elise Vintage

First and foremost I must confess that I am a dress and gown lover! I absolutely wore lacy silk dresses around the house when I was a girl for no reason at all but to look pretty, and as an adult I still live to see a gorgeous dress. So when I was asked to participate in this vintage wedding dress photo shoot, I honestly was more excited to see all the gorgeous vintage dresses. On the grounds of Dirty Tree Brewery,  Matoli Keely Photography linked up with Vivan Elise Vintage for the ahhhmazing dresses with makeup by Jordan K. Winn and took some beautiful images. Here are some of my favorite shots. Check out more from this shoot on Glamour and Grace
