A Mother’s Love

May 12, 2013/in Events, Flowers /by CurlyHost

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.
– Honoré de Balzac

I know everyone thinks they have the best mother, but I am pretty sure my mom is the greatest. I am so thankful for my mother and her constant support through all the good times and bad. From holding my hand on the first day of preschool to hugging me on mornings when I just felt sad, and every moment in between. I am blessed.

Many, Many Years Ago:

She’s a timeless beauty:

A great mother deserves the most beautiful blooms.

There really isn’t anything better than kicking off the wedding season with a wedding in May, on a breezy, spring day, hanging out with a fun loving couple. The day was perfect in Grand Rapids. The air was warm, the sun was shining, and the sky was scattered with fluffy clouds. This was the kind of day in May that I live for and add a wedding to the mix = happy. I loved this wedding and I especially loved Emily’s gorgeous wedding dress with the lace bodice and trumpet skirt. The fun pop of yellow with the stylish gray was executed flawlessly in all of Emily’s designs and details.

Monday Morning Musings

May 6, 2013/in Flowers /by CurlyHost

Today is one of those days. A day where you feel like you have so much to blog about and talk about but when you actually sit down at the computer, nothing. Less than nothing. I think I have typed and deleted one sentence over 10 times. The saddest part about that was the first sentence was one word. {Sigh}

Thankfully, it’s a Monday which means after I get some emails sent and my office tidied up, I get to make a trip to the flower wholesaler, receive a lovely floral arrangement from Quite Contrary, and spend the evening with the best friend and her charming but squeaky baby.

Adam & Rachel: Ringing In The New Year

This wedding was from a few months ago. Okay, this wedding was from 5 months ago, but I still wanted to blog about it. Rachel and Adam are such warm and lovely people and I absolutely love both of their families. I have always adored the idea of a New Years Eve wedding so when Rachel told me her ideas for the wedding, I swooned. After all, what’s not to love about bold colors like silver and gold paired with chic black, glitter and sparkle mixed with rustic charm, all coming together in a vintage travel theme? Add a fantastic couple, a gorgeous candlelit event, and a much anticipated ball drop and you have one extraordinary New Years Eve Wedding.
