This was the bouquet I made for this hot air balloon shoot but these photos are from another photographer –Mel Loitz. I love working with multiple photographers on one shoot because each person has such a unique eye and I love seeing the different photos they each take. There were two different shoots with this bouquet, the hot air balloon bridals as well as a cute casual couple. Both turned out great and I’m excited to share them with you!

ICE CASTLES
This was my first time doing florals for an ice castle shoot and I am so in awe with how beautiful everything turned out. They look like they are standing in front of a green screen it is so pretty! Not to mention I got to work with a beautiful couple, amazing hair and makeup artist and of course the very talented Jenny Day from Jenny Pearl Photography. Such a fun shoot all around.
THREE BRIDES – ONE BOUQUET
This shoot was so fun because not only was the photographer incredible, but there were different bridal looks with three different models, all in different dresses with a little bit of a change in scenery. They all looked absolutely incredible!

HOT AIR BALLOONS
This was one of my favorite shoots from earlier this fall. It ended up being too windy for most of the balloons to get up but still turned out to be a beautiful shoot. All these photos are taken by Lando Lane Creative.
Katey + Justin Wedding
I love working on florals for weddings, but I especially enjoy doing it when the color scheme is as pretty as Katey’s. Everything came together so well. We did bridal bouquet, groom & groomsmen boutonnieres, bridesmaid bouquets, flower girl crowns, and mother corsages.

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS
A lot of brides have been requesting artificial flowers instead of real flowers for their weddings. Artificial can sometimes be more affordable, but that shouldn’t be your reasoning for choosing it. Depending on the type of flowers, the season, etc. you can occasionally get better deals on a natural flower instead of its artificial counterpart. Whether you are doing artificial or real flowers, you can spend a fortune or do it on a budget. That is up to you! So when you set price aside, there are still a lot of reasons why brides are choosing fake over real.
- You can keep your bouquet forever
- You can get them as far in advance as you would like, which will reduce stress on the wedding day
- You can have flowers that may not be in season
- Your flowers won’t wilt throughout the day
- They are lightweight and easier to care for (no water!)
- You don’t have to worry about any allergies to certain flowers
- You can repurpose any of the flowers afterwards (centerpieces for your home, etc)
When you first think of artificial flowers your mind might immediately go to dollar store/cheap looking flowers but there are a lot of very realistic looking flowers out there. Your arrangements can still look incredible if you choose to go the artificial flower route!
