Style Studio | "Put a Bird On It!"

Just can't wait to see the rest - but to hold us all over, here is a sneak peek from yesterday's Style Studio shoot with Ann Marie Casey Photography! Hello Pretty....! (Thank You AMC!)

Alyse & Matt | NCC Wedding

Alyse and Matt tied the knot at the NCC this past weekend & I have to admit - I had a hard time giving these babies up! I can not wait to see the official images from their wedding photographer Amie Schroeder (who's images are sure to be better than these from my phone!) Natalie Diener was their planner & the day went off with out a hitch. Here's a sneak peek at the beauties....

Bridesmaid One: Berzelia!

 

Lucky Girl #2: Green Hydrangea: 

 

Beauty a laTres: Green Trick Dianthus

 Lovely Lady #4: Green Cymbidiums

Rounding the corner is miss number 5: Green Parrot Tulips

Pretty #6 (maybe my fav?): Leucadendron

and the Bride herself...a little bit of everything:

I miss you lovelies!

Emile & Joe | Loews Hotel

We don't usually take more than one wedding per day - but how could we pass this up? Emilie had based her inspiration off of this pillow...and I love a gal who's inspired! Kate LaRosa was the planner and the evening was pulled off with out a hitch at the Loews Hotel on the 33rd Floor. This is one of my favorite room(s) for an event. The building was built in 1932 and was designed by architects William Lescaze and George Howe - and that 33rd Floor was intended for the Board of Directors...think forward thinking "Mad Men."

Now these shots are nothing compared to what I am sure their official photographer Sharyn Frenkel took - but while we wait with bated breath...here are a few detail shots to hold us all over!

 

We knocked out some "Color Saturation" bouquets for the Bridesmaids and an "All Color" bouquet for the Bride...

Then a few more stripes for the ceremony...

 

and the centerpieces pulled it all together...

 

...along with the city view that tied in with all the printed materials (cute table numbers!) and the pillows themselves made an appearance too!

And a pre-honeymoon Thank You is an amazing way to start off the week:

Hi Judith, I just wanted to send you a quick note to tell you how much I loved the flowers and how beautiful everything looked. And thank you again for accommodating our last minute requests...Joe and I head out on our honeymoon on Wednesday, but after we return I will be sending you a more formal thank you/recommendation. (I just couldn't wait to tell you how perfect everything was!) Thanks! Emilie

Style Studio | Clematis

Meet Clematis (KLEma-tis)! A little climbing pretty with a name that sounds like a disease, but sits within the buttercup family. As fresh cut flowers they have been showing up at the market in whites, pinks, lavenders, purple and a gorgeous red (you may have seen that in an earlier post!)  Winter hosts a beautiful window where the Bush Ivy has berries showing - I couldn't resist nestling them with a few Garden Roses. Clematis lends itself so well to a natural cascade - I finished it off with some hanging Amaranthus in green. It practically made itself. With pretties like these, I might just make it to Spring!

Thank you so much Sofia Negron Photography for shooting this for me!

Samantha and Lou | Le Méridien

I met Samantha and her mom way back in August at Le Méridien Hotel via Sofia Negron. If you haven't been there yet - grab a date and swing by for a cocktail. You will be in love. "Originally a YMCA, the hotel is housed in a 10-story Georgian revival-style structure with intriguing historical flair, located in the heart of the city's business district and less than one block from the Pennsylvania Convention Center."

Sam had some definite ideas as to what she liked; and what she didn't. I get along great with people who can make decisions - we were a match! That being said - she did have a very short "Must Have" list: Peonies. White. Barely cracked open. (Insert audible gasp from me!) Now, I love making dreams come true as much as the next designer - but promising a Spring flower in December is skating on thin ice. Crisis averted...slightly cascading, barely open - dream come true...Check!

We brought some color into the Bridesmaids with beautiful garden roses and light pink peonies

Sam and Lou were hitched and all was set at Le Méridien...each of the tables were a little different in design but all built withe the same floral types:tulips, hydrangea, roses and striking black candlesticks that picked up the curves and details of the room.

Sam and her mom collected all of these spent shot - 'cause they fit the color pallet and it's a nod to a sport Dad would appreciate.

Yep - Oreo Cake!

And then the fun really began!

Special thanks to Amanda Chrin from Le Méridien for making our job so easy! Sofia Negron captured so many more amazing shots than I can showcase here - check her out! And for hair that just wouldn't quit - Marcos Matos you are amazing! 

Congratulations Samantha and Lou - I loved being a part of your wedding!

Style Studio | Color Me Fall

OK - so I have to be honest...we can't actually get some of these flowers in the current season (like the fluffy yellow Acacia Dealbata) ...but some of the items could pull off your dream Fall decor. I love the bouquets so much I thought we could use it as a color tool today (and some eye candy!) Thanks again AMC!

Packed with goodies we have yellow Craspedia, Leucadendron, deep pink Ranunculus, delicate Bupleurum and clusters of Bush Ivy with it's berries.

Loving this lace I found in a pile full of trim...I'm gonna use it everywhere this season!

  And a little less 'weedy'....but still packed with vibrant color!

Style Studio | Autumnal Equinox

I thought we could celebrate the First Day of Autumn (aka Autumnal Equinox) with some pretties in the studio...having AMC's new studio in Bryn Mawr is getting a little too convenient!

Listen kids, Fall doesn't have to be boring -or orange, red and yellow for that matter! This lovely has a ton of texture and shades that add to the richness of the season with a 'just gathered' elegance. I love the pop of blush in the ribbon wrap. We tucked in some silvery grey Tillandsia, striking Paphiopedilum orchids with an amber and burgundy blush, scattered a few white Israeli Phlox finished off with fistfuls of Bush Ivy with their black berries still intact.

 Have pretty - will travel!

Style Studio | Happy September

Hmmm, who was on my mind when I was on this shoot...hmmm...well we couldn't get Michael Ann any Kumquats for her wedding but they were available for this little lovely. Touches of Forget-Me-Nots are such a perfect accent to the orange fruit and the roses. And who doesn't like a little grosgrain against some tropical leaves? Hello pretty! You can see more details to the right in the Style Studio slide show, thank you AMC Photography!

 

 

 

 

Randi and Reid | Le Meridien

Randi was stunning at her wedding to Reid at Le Meridien at the start of the month. Baiada Photography captured all of the moments and details - I can't wait to check them out! Until then here is a sneak peak - I love it when FB profile pics change from single to married!

Michael Ann & Carl | Style Me Pretty Feature

We got such great news from Sam, owner of Pink Hedgehog Photography,...Michael Ann and Carl's wedding was picked up by Style Me Pretty today! The ceremony and reception took place in the Bride's "Home State" at Cypress Grove Estate House in Orlando Florida. I may have accidentally/on purpose made her bouquet bigger than she asked (she's a floral designer...it has to look good!) but the colors were spot on for her dream pallet and I'm not sure they could have been more feminine, more Michael Ann or more Florida! Sam captured all of the details from the vintage inspired printed materials to the tender moments they had alone...you have to check out the SMP Photo Gallery of the day (5 pages worth!) Thank you Sam!

I readily admit I had no idea what "Corn Hole" was until I met these two - but everything had their personal touch and handicraft detail...yep, they made their own game!

Their Wedding + Invitations + Paper Goods were designed by Kristin Weight of Mountain Paper Design Studio and set the tone for the vintage Floridian feel:
