When sweet Sophia called us about her wedding we could tell her wedding day would be so meaningful. We LOVE military weddings and were thrilled to visit Fort Benning to provide her flowers. I fell in love with the primitive historic wooden chapel as the quaint setting for their vows and the stunning officers club that hosted the gorgeous reception.We were amazed at the timeless feeling at Fort Benning and of course the hallowed grounds that we walked that day..so untouched by time and preserved for the men and women who train there. We are so thankful to have been a part of Sophia and Blakes beautiful and holy day so perfectly captured by .

Ahhh, we love this question because it is the how and why do this wedding thing we love so much. While growing up in small Alabama town, I always loved to gather flowers into loose and natural arrangements and this translated into my wedding designs. Here I am with one of my foraged wild arbors waiting on a rose...um about 20 years ago.
When I began my wedding floral planning business in 2010, I searched for florists who had a similar style so I could learn and improve . I discovered the look I love in the classic British "garden style "flower designer Constance Spry .
and then located an amazing floral designer named Holly Chapple
of Virginia. Holly's "gathered and styled" "flowers instantly became my inspiration and goal for my business. In 2014 I learned she mentored a group of flower lovers called the Chapel Designers and joined. I am so thankful for this woman and her group and her dedication to the floral industry .
So this flower style is traditional and timeless , gathered and styled, English garden flowers !
And I have do know that this style I love so much is not a trend but is a classic style and that goes in and out of popularity. Here it is in the 1600's as a painting.
This style is trending as large wedding bouquets now but that isn't new either.
I love the movement and natural feeling of this look and feel it conveys an organic and relaxed feeling at a wedding...even a formal wedding- here is proof..
