POSH Wedding & Special Event Floral

Mr. & Mrs. Collings

I am so excited to share these pictures with you! What an amazing wedding and a fabulous couple to work with. I was so excited to get started on the flowers for this wedding! The couple was so layed back and gave me so much creative freedom! To a creative person, it's like being a kid in a candy store when someone lets you know the basics of what you want, but then lets you take it from there.

Thank you to Brian Hall Photographers for the use of the beautiful pictures!

Mr. & Mrs. Ehlinger

Travis and Jessie Ehlinger's flowers were by far are some of the most commented on wedding flowers I have done so far. When I show other brides pictures of this wedding, I always get lots of comments on the color and texture of these bouquets. I can't take all the credit for these flowers looking the way they did. Jessie knew she wanted to stick with mostly lime and ivory tones with a very natural feel.

The textures in the bouquets were amazing! We used spotted ornamental cabbage, viburnum, varigated ivory and green tulips, cymbidium orchids, spider mums and ornamental cabbage. How fun is that combination!!!!

Thank you to Laura Shroeder for the use of the pictures! Beautiful work!

Lots of catching up to do!

Boy its been awhile since I have blogged! Seems to be a trend for me on here. The first long overdue bride and groom to post is Audrey and Josh Brown. I was excited to get a chance to not only do the flowers, but to assist in decor planning as well. I was super excited to have my hands in this wedding!

The couple were married at the Dyersville Basillica and hosted a reception at the Dyersville Commercial Club Park. The decor was elegant, yet whimsical. Audrey chose plum tulips, hydrangea, green jade roses, lime spider mums, fiddlehead fern, and tons of beautiful crystals dripping from branches to adorn her black and white demaske linens on the tables.

The bride carried a bouquet of white hydrangea, tulips, calla lilies, ranunculas and ivory roses. The bridesmaids carried bouquets of plum tulips, lisianthus, hydrangea, green spider mums, jade roses, and fiddlehead fern. I have become a huge fan of fiddlehead fern this year! Be sure to check it out in the maids bouquets. If you are not familiar with it, look for the plum colored curly looking guys in the bouquets.

Thank you to James Drescher Photography for the use of the pictures.

Brandon and Mollie Grimm

I am excited to post these next pictures! Mollie and Brandon were married last year and I am finally getting around to posting the beautiful pictures.

I got to meet Mollie and her family through a friends wedding I had done flowers for a couple of years ago. What a fun family to work with! The bonus for me was Brandon's mother, Nancy was a frequent visitor at a store I used to work for in Manchester quite a few years ago, so it was a pleasure for me to be able to work with this group all around!

I was very excited about the choice of flowers for this wedding. Mollie really wanted to keep the bouquets pretty monochromatic with tones in green and ivory as an accent. What a classic and romantic combination. Using green hydrangea, kermit mums, hypericum berry, roses, and ivory dendrobium orchids, we were able to create the perfect look! The bride I must say did add a special touch to her bouquet by carrying Cymbidium Orchids in addition to the other flowers.

Ashley and Jason

Once again, it's been a long time since I have blogged! I am however, very excited to get back on here and share with you a wedding from last November. A perfect day with a beautiful bride, happy groom, and of course lovely wedding flowers! :)

Ashley and Jason were married November 7th, 2009. Ashley and her mom Gina stopped over and together we were able to come up with some beautiful floral ideas. Ashley really wanted bring the feel of fall into her flowers along with some vintage elegance. The bride carried a pear accented bouquet of calla lilies, roses, a mix of football, spider, and button mums , and stephanotis. Ashley wanted to bring a bit of history into her bouquet by adding lace from her mothers wedding gown. We were able to wrap the lace around the stems to finish off the bouquet perfectly.

Ashley's bridesmaids carried bouquets of roses, spider mums, coax comb, dahlias, gerbera daisies, button mums, and fiddle head fern. I had so much fun with these bouquets. The colors were fantastic. Alissa from A Fleeting Moment Photography really captured some fun pictures! Enjoy!

Mr. & Mrs. Donovan

It's sure been a long time! I always feel like that's what I am saying every time I post something new. :) Was a busy summer and busy beginning to fall. It's now time for some blogging!

In August I was so excited to do wedding flowers and decor for my friend and cousin Erin Donovan. Erin and her husband Tony were married in at the Cathedral in Dubuque with a fabulous reception following at the Julien Inn.

Erin and Tony chose shades of orange and purples for her bouquets. We brought together tulips, lisianthus, alstromeria, freesia, calla lilies, day lilies, and kermit mums to create the look the couple wanted. Erin's bouquet was also embellished with purple metallic wire to give her the whimsy look she was excited about having. To really give Erin's bouquet a personal feel she requested her grandmother's handkerchief and Tony and Erin's father's wedding rings.

Here are some pictures for their special day!
