New Blog Format and Location

Hi Ladies and Gents (not sure if I have very many gents in the audience, but wanted to include you just the same).  We are moving our blog to a new address.  It is already up and running, and here is the link, http://courtenaylambert.blogspot.com

I'm really excited about the move, because you will be able to see pictures on a larger scale, and you will also be able to search the blog more easily. 

All the pictures from this blog will be available on the new blog.  We are in the process of migrating them, so if you have a favorite arrangement or bouquet, fear not, it will be on the new blog sometime over the next couple of weeks.

Now, I'm a "pink" kind of girl, but when you couple mixed pinks with robbin's egg blue, well I just melt. I love these colors, and I love all the beautiful things that Julie (the bride), did with those colors. We used Stargazer Lilies (the bride's fave), Roses both full sized and minis, Hydrangea, Tulips, and Cymbidium orchids. We also tucked a hot pink Vanda orchid in the menus on each place setting, and it was glorious! All the photos were taken by the fabulous Bluebird Photography (link to right). There were so many great shots, that I once again went a little overboard. Oh well, can you really go overboard when it comes to a gorgeous wedding with so many wonderful details!

Julie Schmidt from Cincy Event Planning was the DOC. Nancy of Brideface did the gorgeous make up. The ceremony took place at St. Ursula Academy Chapel, and the reception was at the beautiful Verdin Bell. Thanks Julie, I love your style, and you were a pleasure to work with!

Heather picked beautiful green and white accented with black, and it was stunning. We used lacey Hydrangea and Queen Anne's lace accented with green buttons, and green Hypericum. Heather used black blumeboxes accented with ribbon, and green flowers in her centerpieces. Heather sent me all of these photos from her fab photogs at Rocket Tree. Thanks so much for sending them Heather, you were a pleasure to work with!

Sometimes pictures just speak louder than words, don't they? These photos by Gentry Photography captured this wedding beautifully. I have to say, it is one of the most gorgeous white bouquets we've ever done. Courtney's (the bride...great name huh?) bouquet included fluffy white Hydrangea, ivory Calla Lilies, Bouvardia, Freesia, and lacey white Cattleya orchids; and it was so fragrant! We used a mixture of pink and white blooms in the arrangements for the entire wedding...please enjoy the photos thanks to Kerry from Gentry photo.
