RICHMOND, VIRGINIA WEDDING – CLARE & MATT

It’s ‘Throwback Thursday’ at the cafe and I’m sharing the beautiful wedding of Clare & Matt…I so ADORE Clare and was so excited to be a part of their big day!!

—————————————————————————–

Hi guys, I had the pleasure of designing the florals for Clare & Matt’s beautiful wedding here in Richmond, VA…..OMG…they are a beautiful couple and Clare’s dress was STUNNING!!!  It was such a beautiful day for their wedding and I had the best time…there were so many wonderful wedding artist involved and it was such a joy meeting Clare & Matt…yes, their wedding day was the very first time that we actually met….walking into Clare’s suite at the hotel with her wedding bouquet and seeing her face light up with the biggest smile, totally made my day…it’s at the point for me, when I know that everything is going to be oh-so-beautiful for my bride!! 

Next came all the hugs…yes, I’m a ‘hugger’ and I felt as if I had known Clare and all the beautiful ladies surrounding her for quite some time….capturing Clare & Matt’s wedding story was one of my favorite ladies and favorite photographers, my girl, Katelyn James….Katelyn is the sweetest and as always, she did a beautiful job photographing Clare & Matt’s wedding day….and a huge shout out to event planner Anna Burke…so great working with her!!  Let’s check out a few of the beautiful images sent over by Katelyn…Enjoy!!

Clare asked me to make her bouquet totally baby’s breath, but, after seeing a picture of her dress, I knew her bouquet needed to be more than baby’s breath….so I added a few peonies, dahlias, and other white floral and dusty miller and yes, a little baby’s breath as well…she loved it!!
