Ashlee and Dan are both in medical school at Vanderbilt, both with full plates: classes, clinicals, exams, etc. With the help of friends and family, these two tied the knot in front of ~120 friends and family. I love an organized MOB. And Ashlee was one lucky bride!  Her mom worked to create a beautifully […]

The weather was perfect for Meagan and Dustin’s mint and coral gathering at Belle Meadows Farm. This police officer married his sweetheart under a white oak tree strung with blooms and surrounded by friends and family.  This sweet bride didn’t get bogged down with the details: she was getting married and that mattered most to […]

We called it Flower Camp:  A hands-on floral workshop hosted by Philosophy Flowers in North Carolina. I discussed and pondered it and had scary dreams at night. “You’re gonna go to North Carolina, alone, to a flower workshop?!”, my friends would ask.  I don’t like doing things alone.  I have an irrational fear of “alone”.

I loved Tina and Daniel’s love story.  I love how he dotes after her and how excited her family was to welcome him into theirs.  I love the way they look at one another and how cool and collected she remained throughout the wedding planning process. I love when a bride truly listens to me. […]

I’ve known Natalie for almost 15 years.  She was actually one of the first girls I met on campus at MTSU and she instantly intimidated me…she was older AND in a sorority!  Fast forward a few months and we are sorority sisters, planning events, attending social gatherings and pomping homecoming floats.  When she contacted me […]

When the ladies of The Collection email and ask if you want to play at Belle Meade Plantation for a styled shoot, you try not to geek out where people can see you. 🙂 A great chance to update our portfolios and stage something beautiful, we jumped in and the final creation was definitely my […]

I liked Liz from the first phone conversation. Her spunk and energy were intoxicating and we shared a common bond: state employees! She was incredibly organized and excited so pulling the final details together for her fall Green Door Gourmet wedding was a pleasure.  The smiles on their faces NEVER LEFT!  They were one of the […]

As two creatives awaiting the start of a busy spring wedding season, Meagan Fisher of M.Fisher Imagery and I were dying to do something entirely for fun.  After receiving a copy of The Flower Recipe from my sister for Christmas, I’ve spent lots of time flipping through those pages and daydreaming about flowers and beautiful […]

I start every year with a list of changes I want to make or things I want to improve upon.  Being a creative is hard. Owning a small business is hard. Trying to juggle that and a full time legal-field job is hard.  Trying to juggle it all? Sometimes I sink.  But, I started 2015 […]

I have enjoyed looking back through these wedding photos to create these blog posts.  So much hard work and love went into this event.  Jena and Trent added some really incredible personal touches to the day, but my favorite part: the flowers! Jena and I searched online for months for inspiration to tie in the […]
