HOLLY + GENEVIEVE = BEAUTIFUL BRIDAL SHOOT

Happy Friday Guys…..I hope you all are ready for the weekend and to get your lovely weekend started, two of my favorite ladies are stopping by the cafe today….the incredibly talented and incredibly sweet, Holly Chappel of Holly Chapple Flowers and the amazingly talented and also sweet, Genevieve Leiper of Genevieve Leiper Photography.  Holly and Genevieve got together and created a beautiful story at Morven Park in Leesburg, VA and at Fabbioli Cellars Winery, also in Leesburg.

The results of their collaboration are truly magical and I’m excited to share the gorgeous images with you today….Holly’s floral designs are STUNNING….and Genevieve totally captured all the beauty in the images….Enjoy!

Holly shares all the info on the gorgeous boquets with us….’We had a ball creating these bouquets. The first bouquet was actually made in a bouquet holder and it was reversible. We used cedar greens from my garden, billy balls or craspedia, mango calla lily, new growth willow that would bend back into the bouquet also from the garden, red coxcomb, green cymbidium orchids, orange mokara orchids, black magic roses, hypericum berry, jester amaranthus, deep purple scabiosa, crocosmia, asclepias, and antique green hydrangea. The back side of the bouquet featured dahlias, circus roses and the hydrangea. We also used pheasant feathers which could be seen from both sides of the reversible bouquet.  We created small wires of orange mokara orchids and pheasant feathers for the bride’s hair.’


Our second bouquet was created with deep purple vanda orchids, antique green hydrangea, bells of ireleand, green cymbidium orchids, purple scabiosa and ornamental grasses.  We wired the orchids for the bride’s hair with a piece of bells of ireland.

Thanks Holly and Genevieve for stopping by today…Holly, the boquets are STUNNING….and as always, Genevieve, you ROCK…..guys make sure you visit their sites to see so much more of their gorgeous work!

A huge thanks to the Bride and Model, Stephanie Fuller and beautiful Make-Up by,  Victoria Stiles MakeUp.
