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!

 

 

 

 

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:

Jenna & Anup | Galeria Artesano

It was such a delight to be part of Jenna and Anup's wedding this summer. Angela Malicki coordinated their day and Ivan Roa Osuna made sure every detail from art to cuisine was in place at Galeria Artesano. Thank you Lori & Neville of Stringer Photography for sharing these lovely moments! Judith Campbell and Campbell Studios created some feminine bouquets and styled centerpieces that fit the space as well as Jenna's personal sense of style! Jenna looked beautiful, Claudia Seyler Make Up by There are too may pictures to pick just one favorite!

And these don't really have much to do with flowers - but are such great examples of Stringer Photography's style I couldn't resist. Thank you for sharing these images on your blog Lori & Neville! The last one should be in a magazine!

Style Studio | Spring 2012

Sometimes it's fun to make pretty things just because we can...here's a few shots from a new little section I am going to start posting - I like the call it the "Style Studio." Ann Marie Casey and I had a super fun day styling some bouquet shots - Thanks AMC Photography!

This little beauty has so many of my favorites all together: lovely white Hellebore (hella yeah!) with touches of their bright green leaves, delicate pink Ranunculus & the Cirrus Dusty Miller that I still can't seem to get over...it's just so pretty!

Katy Goodman | The Please Touch Museum

Katy and Jeff  found me via Sofia Negron - their photographer, and we hit it off from the start! The Wedding and Reception were both held at The Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia. Various shades of reds made up the color pallet - all developing from the 'Red Majestic' callas in her bouquet...(which ended up not being as red as anticipated; but a call earlier in the week to the bride to talk about color assured all that it would balance out the red bridesmaids perfectly - and it did!) The colors flowed through the event beautifully. 

The silver foiled containers gave consistency to both the centerpiece designs, while the red napkins brought the signature color to the edge of the table.

I love the way Sofia catches moments like this, when you are not looking at the camera - but are truly in the moment..

 Check out more of Sofia's details in this sneak peak slideshow below!

 

(Thank You Sofia!)

Dreaming of Spring!

Enough with the snow! I am home doing paperwork after my AM shovel & was reminiscing about spring....

Kara and Nick

Kara and Nick tied the knot October 10th at St. John the Evangelist in Philadelphia. Kara has such as beautiful sense of style that it was particularly exciting to work with her.

She designed all of the printed materials right down to the place cards. Here is the save the date which was inspired by all of the colors in her wedding party:

Since all of the attendants has a different color dress we tied them together with the bright green splash above and Kara's favorite flower - Alstroemeria. Yellow was the only color absent from the palette so all of the flowers followed suit.

Allebach Photography captured all of the moments from the day (there are just too many good ones...you can see more on the slideshow to the right!) Rachel and Mike are an amazing team. While they are known for their edgy style, you don't need to be a 'Tattooed Bride' or a 'Rock 'n Roll Groom' to hire them. These photographers have the innate ability showcase YOUR personal sense of style on your big day with their artistic touch. The Bridal party took over the Loews Hotel, as they walked down to the church for the ceremony.

Claudia Seyler was the stylist who did all of the hair and make-up for the gals. She is always so soothing to be around - I wish she would do my hair and make-up everyday!

The reception was held down the street at the PAFA Hamilton Building, another one of my favorite places. This venue was perfect for Kara and Nick - they are so creative and artistic, it matched their personalities to a "T"! I designed the seating card display as an interactive sculpture wall to showcase the individual hand made origami flowers that Kara (and her sister Christina!) labored over...with love of course!

Then the guests moved into the main dining room where they were seated at tables that each held a unique centerpiece. All the flowers were yellow, and designed with a modern twist which complimented both the bride and the art facility itself.

and here is just one of my 'favorite moment' photos...
