This beautiful Charlottesville wedding was one for the books, y’all!! When I first met Corinne, several months prior to her wedding, I fell in love with her all-white, rustic yet elegant wedding day vision. We used flowers such as David Austin garden roses, ranunculus, dusty miller, eucalyptus and snowberries, and the flowers were the perfect addition to the classic look of the Trump Winery Barn and Pavilion. Corinne was such a joy to work with throughout the planning process, and the love that she shares with Tim was so evident throughout their wedding day- she was absolutely radiant! 🙂 I truly enjoyed working with her, and I am honored that she chose me to be her wedding florist; best wishes to this amazing couple!! 🙂 The vendor team who brought this wedding to life is listed below; enjoy these gorgeous photos taken by Alisandra Photography!

In my last blog post, I shared 10 Tips to Opening a Successful Creative Business, and one of the tips I touched on was participating in styled shoots! They are an excellent way to grow your business, network with other like-minded vendors, and receive professional photos of your work in exchange for your time, products, and/or services! For the next several weeks, I am going to walk you through a styled shoot, and share some information on how they can be successful for your business, and why I think they are worthwhile!

So, you’re planning your wedding. You’ve picked a date and season, chosen the perfect venue for your vows, and probably hired an amazing photographer to capture all the details and a wedding planner to ensure that things run smoothly! So what’s next?! Choosing your florist!! Last week I talked about “7 Things Your Wedding Florist Wants You to Know,” which I hope provided you with some general background knowledge of how florists work with you throughout your wedding. If you didn’t get a chance to read that, head over to that post first, and then read this one!! Preparing for your initial consultation with your wedding florist is an important step in your wedding planning process, and I want to share some ideas of the best things to do before that first meeting!
