Classic River House Wedding

Krissy & Patrick’s Classic River House Wedding is nothing short of spectacular. Overlooking Matanzas River in St. Augustine surrounded by their loved ones, Krissy & Patrick said “I Do” while standing under a beautifully decorated arch of hydrangea & swagging garland.

Krissy looked absolutely stunning, as if she stepped out of a romantic vintage movie. Her bridal bouquet perfectly complimented her classic look, created with white roses, Israeli ruscus & eucalyptus, while each of her bridesmaids carried hand tied hydrangea bouquets. Our groom patrick also sported a very classic rose boutonniere with sprigs of Israeli ruscus.

Sweet flower girls dusted the ceremony aisle with petals as Krissy & her dad made their way to the alter. For the reception we decorated the long farm table with a garland of eucalyptus and re-purposed the bridesmaids bouquets by placing them in bubble bowls which made for amazing centerpieces.

Crystal Bos Photography was there to capture every special moment from Krissy getting ready to their first look to the unforgettable bubble send off.

Romantic Outdoor Nautical Wedding – Ponte Vedra Inn & Club

It’s not everyday that your only daughter gets married. When an extraordinary occasion occurs you need an extraordinary event location to bring it all together. That’s why for Katie & Mark’s Romantic Outdoor Nautical Wedding they chose none other than the luxurious oceanfront Ponte Vedra Inn & Club.

Their Romantic Outdoor Nautical Wedding was positively a dream come true. Fun nautical details can be found throughout their wedding. A custom sailing knot designed by Ginny Krauss & Patricia from Fancy Girl Designs became their trademark logo. From the bridesmaids monogrammed robes to the fun cornhole board to the signature sticker this personalized touch was unforgettable.

Katie was the epitome of perfection in her strapless lace gown with a sweetheart neckline. Her bridal bouquet featured soft pink garden roses with pops of bubblegum pink roses, cream colored ranunculus & touches of anemones. Keeping with the nautical theme, Mark sported a navy suit jacket with a blue striped tie & boat shoes. His boutonniere was a perfect single anemone bud.

For their outdoor ceremony we transformed the oceanfront courtyard into a floral dream. Stunning green foliage intertwined with pink roses was draped over the balustrade and coordinating floral swag adorned the guests seating. As magical as their outdoor ceremony was decorated the reception hall was over the top amazing showcasing a floral wall. The strinking floral partition with lush hydrangeas, roses & lots of green leafage became the perfect backdrop for the bride & grooms table. A cascading runner of roses & cream hydrangeas swept over the table while shimmering gold fabric was woven down the back of the head chairs and decorated with even more beautiful blooms.

Lush pink & gold accents were used in creating their magnificent soiree. Tall floral centerpieces, pink glistening table linens and gold votives are just a few of the special touches. Dan Harris perfectly captured Katie & Mark’s big day and we couldn’t be more thankful.

Romantic Plantation Wedding

On a lovely September day Nicole & Elisha said, “I Do” to an everlasting love together at their Romantic Plantation Wedding at Bowing Oaks Plantation.

Nicole’s parents Karen & John just so happen to own the event planning business Mugwumps that helped make their day even more special. Set under a rustic alter gathered with family & friends, wedding photographer Jamie owner of Couture Studios captured every magical moment of their romantic plantation wedding. Dreamy hues of purple were used throughout this wedding. Nicole’s bridal bouquet was created using lavender roses, dark purple lisianthus and baby’s breath. Her bridesmaids wore one shoulder knee length plum dresses & carried bouquets of light green hydrangea. The centerpieces and altar arrangements contained lavender roses, light green hydrangea, purple liatrus, lavender pom poms and baby’s breath. The mason jar floral centerpieces were placed on wooden slices and the arrangements used for the ceremony were placed on wine barrels in keeping with the overall rustic look of Bowing Oaks. The scrumptious buttercream cake was adorned with purple blooms. Right before the ceremony the rain started to became very strong but they didn’t miss a beat, the bridal party entered with umbrellas and everything went off as scheduled. Jamie was able to snap amazing pictures that were almost made even better by the rain!

Everything about Nicole & Elisha’s wedding was positively spectacular and we are so happy to have been apart of it.

A Fantasy in Flowers Showroom Premiere

Today we are delighted to share with you A Fantasy in Flowers Showroom Premiere!

Recently we decided it was time for a makeover in our showroom. Photographer Dan Harris who just so happens to be the same photographer who took the beyond fabulous photos of Susan’s daughter’s wedding, was kind enough to come into our shop and have a mini styled photo shoot. We wanted our new showroom to have a dazzling appeal, featuring beautiful reflective furnishings, soft lighting, portraits of our most fabulous wedding and of course fresh floral arrangements.

Our bright sitting room is designed with a sleek tufted sofa decorated with a fun floral pom pom pillow. Finishing off the area are two ornate floral painted chairs and in the corner a hand painted gown created by our very own Amy. You can find gold & silver hues and pops of red throughout the show room. A glass display showcases just a few of the beautiful accessories we use in our wedding designs, from tall centerpieces to candelabras to pillar candle holders.

We definitely feel our stunning showroom makeover is beautiful, inviting & inspiring!

Princess & Brian’s Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens Wedding

On a Saturday in May, Princess & Brian said, “I do” in a beautiful church ceremony. They chose us, A Fantasy in Flowers to make all their floral dreams come true.

Princess was a vision wearing an all lace gown. Her luscious bridal bouquet was created with lime green hydrangeas, pastel pink lisianthus, bubblegum pink esperance roses & light pink spray roses. We absolutely love how the lime green hydrangeas really pop! Princess’ bridal party wore coordinating pastel floor length dresses, they each carried full voluminous bouquets of white hydrangeas.

Brian’s boutonniere was a cluster of lydia pink spray roses and italian ruscus which perfectly complimented his grey suit. The groomsmen’s boutonnieres were a white eskimo roses and baby’s breath.

The reception venue at The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens was the ideal location for their elegant soiree. Wedding coordinator Christina Kopecki of Christina’s Kreations designed a romantic setting with sweeping swags of fabric & luxurious lightening. We created low centerpieces using birch vases that were filled with white garden roses, green hydrangea, pink esperance roses and light pink stock, the table was finished with sparkling table numbers, while the cocktail tables were adorned with light pink hydrangeas.

Thank you for including us in your big day. Here’s to a love everlasting!

Epping Forest Yacht Club Wedding | Adrienne & Colin

Adrienne & Colin’s wedding was nothing short of breathtaking! Their intimate wedding was held at the romantic historical Epping Forest surrounded and we were lucky enough to create all the lovely florals.

All eyes were on Adrienne in her strapless lace gown & flowing locks, so we knew her bouquet needed to be nothing short of amazing. Luscious pink esperance roses with wisps of tiny white blooms, eucalyptus & fronds created her perfect bridal bouquet. Colin’s boutonniere was made with petite roses and vibrant green mums. For the ceremony we transformed the stunning outdoor space with a whimsical floral aisle and oversized urns brimming with hydrangeas. The reception hall tables were decorated with floral runners, tall gold candelabras & sparkling tealights.

We positively loved being apart of their big day!

St. Augustine Wedding Florist | River House | Chris & Janice

Chris & Janice had a beautiful wedding at one of our favorite venues in St. Augustine right along the river. The River House provides majestic like views and it surely makes our job that much easier when we get to set up our florals. Janice opted to go for hues of light pink & ivory for her wedding day florals and we just love how beautiful she looks as well as her bridal party with our bouquets. We also provided florals for the ceremony arch as well as all of the florals for the reception. In order to match their Italian theme for the their wedding, we added olive branches to everything for the greenery, even on the cake!

A Perfect Ponte Vedra Bridal Shower

Our beautiful daughter, Katie is GETTING MARRIED in less than three months, so you know what that means? Bring on the festivities! First up was her Perfect Ponte Vedra Bridal Shower, thrown by the wonderful Hostess Jennifer, a dear friend of mine and Co-Host, Dani, Best Friend & Maid of Honor to the Bride. As the acclaimed “Mother of the Bride”, I have to say that I am having tons of fun with planning this wedding! We had a secret girls night to prep for the shower where we “Boozedazzled” (yes, we made that up!) lots of wine and champagne bottles to make them beautifully dazzled for the shower. It was a lot of fun, and we wish the Bride had been there (it was a secret).

The day of the shower was absolutely perfect. Of course, A Fantasy in Flowers provided the floral arrangements and our very sweet Amy was so gracious to style it alongside hosts, Jennifer & Dani. Katie couldn’t have been happier. Daisy the dog was there in full spirits to greet everyone and it wouldn’t have been the same without her. Most of all, our dear Bride Katie was able to relish in being showered and surrounded by local family & friends in anticipation of her big day!

A special thanks to Dan Harris for taking these beautiful pictures for us.

Bridal Fantasy Bridal Show Photo Shoot

We recently did a photo shoot with Robert Max Photography at a private residence in Avondale for some ads for the upcoming upcoming bridal show at Sawgrass Marriott on August 24, 2014.

It turned out gorgeous!

The theme was “secret garden” and we had a lot of fun with these flower bouquet designs.

We also did the doorway with flowers. It was a beautiful touch that could be incorporated into a garden or small wedding. We could also do something similar on arches or chuppahs.
