Tara & Rob

I was so very proud of this wedding, because when Tara peeked in and saw the dreamlike scene we created it filled her with happiness. Tara wrote to me after the wedding that "...when I walked into the ballroom I saw the most beautiful centerpieces I've ever laid my eyes on. What a fantastic surprise!"..."The bouquets were also beautiful, as well as every other flower in the wedding. You have so much talent and heart!" This is a business for me, a business that I love, but the gratitude of Tara and Rob was so heartfelt I was not only proud, but reassured that this is my calling.
Tara and Rob held their ceremony at the Jackson Memorial Baptist Church and their reception at the impressive Renaissance Hotel Ballroom in Portsmouth. Their color choices of blush pinks, drenched pinks and cream set off not only their ceremony, but the Elizabeth River blue and sunset filtered through the panoramic windows of the Renaissance.
At their reception I loved not only challenge of creatively designing the traditional candelabras with a modern touch, but designing the modern wedding couple's place settings. The wedding couple's sweet heart table was dressed with our silver plate chargers accented with orchids and lily grass. Their table "numbers" were also very sweet. Each table was named for a different year in the lives of Tara & Rob and held a silver framed photo of each of them from that year in their lives,
I was inspired by Tara and Rob and surprised them with little unexpected touches. It was so touching that with all the business and emotion a wedding couple encounters that they noticed the little things.
Tara wrote "...PS, I loved the silver butterfly you tucked into my bouquet! What a lovely touch!"
What more can I write...blessings to Tara and Rob!
