you guys, the pictures and files are so disorganized on my computer that it’s not even funny. but you get to benefit, because every now and then i come across something buried in the creepy depths of this mac that i haven’t completely shared. like today. how gorgeous is nicole working her peony crown?

these are all from a collaboration with Erika Nicole Photography a while back. this ended up on the Wedding Chicks blog as a feature, so if it looks familiar, that’s where you’ve seen it before. after the feature went up, i shared a couple things, but then the rest of wedding season happened, i had a baby (who is now a very energetic toddler) and other stuff happened, so here we are.

anyway! that spectacular ivy-covered wall is at King Estate, and can we just take a moment to cry a little over how they aren’t booking new weddings?

somebody asked me to re-create this bouquet in december. and ship it to them. you don’t want to know what that quote was. sweet peas, peonies, astilbe, poppy pods, blushing bride protea…these ingredients don’t really do december.

not pictured: all the chocolate i ate. if you set up a s’mores bar at your wedding, please make sure to schedule that after my departure on your wedding day timeline if you want any leftover for your guests.
