Guest blogger Carisa Chee of Carisa Chee Photography:

Chelsea and Tommy are that wonderful mix of fun and elegance. They choose the best locations for portraits, bring the most fabulous accessories, and then proceed to laugh their way through the session. So it was no surprise when their wedding reception at Brookberry Farm in Winston Salem looked like a fairy tale and flew by in an evening of laughter. I absolutely adore photographing these two, and I have loved getting to know them and their families.

The flawless decorations were created by Wayne at Floral Visions Design Studio. And the gorgeous cake was made by Maxie B's.

I hope that you have an amazing honeymoon, and that you love living in New York!

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
ECCLESIASTES 3:1
Just Think,
you're not here by chance,
but by God's choosing.
His hand formed you
and made you the person you are.
He compares you to no one else-
you are one of a kind.
You lack nothing that his grace can't give you.
He has allowed you to be here at this time in history
to fulfill His special purpose for this generation.
by Roy Lessin

Well... Amy was that enough Babies Breath :) when we started planning for Amy a year ago, one of the first things she ask for was some large, full' tall centerpeices for her reception, and that she LOVED babies breath, ...
Babies breath is one of the flowers that most Brides either love or hate...when it is used in guantity, it can be quite dramatic, and fill in a large room nicely...

Low Style Centerpeice

This photo shows how a mix of high and low centerpieces can fill a large space without becoming too claustrophobic. It's important to consider that the rooms will have lots of people and all highs could make for a very crowded feeling.

We started this blog as an avenue for a quicker way of sharing our experiences designing flowers for our weddings and other events. With daily or weekly postings of what we are doing real time, what we thought about past recent weddings etc. Of course photos will be a big part as well as behind the scenes tips and maybe even a struggle or two as we work to fulfill all our clients dreams.

putting the final touches is always a priority once everything is in place, large arrangements are more difficult to delviver, they take up more space in the delivery vehichle...babies breathe is particulary tricky, if it is put to close together it will get all connected and intangled, this particulr wedding we made 5 trips to the venue in order to get them there in one peice...delivery, and the care taken when handling flowers is most important, flowers are a delcate, fragile creation...so we must be easy with them!
