Favorite Websites :: fYour Wedding Day - magazine

I received an email earlier this week with a wedding planning website/magazine ad. Feeling curious today and went on to the website - I'm blown away by the beautiful website and the very interesting blogs. What makes me happy is the amount of blogging about FLOWERS! Looks like they have a ton of information for all parts of the wedding planning process and tons of photos. Also looks like the list upcoming bridal shows throughout the country. If you like looking at exotic floral arrangements, be sure to check out this site:

Shop News :: My little helper

I have the cutest little helper around here. He so gently and quietly climbs onto my work desk and just sits here and watches me type, write notes or chit-chat on the phone. It's tough being a dog around here. ;)

Phipps Mansion

In October 2007 we did a lovely fall wedding at Phipps Mansion - right in time before the weather changed. Allison's wedding was the epitome of a fall wedding, the leaves were floating down from the trees as we decorated the ceremony site. Allison selected a wonderful assortment of fall flowers, including circus roses, black magic roses, hypericum berries, nandina leaves, red dogwood, rose hips, orange unique roses, mango callas, red dahlias, orange dahlias, burgundy dahlias, hocus pocus roses and red oak leaves.
