Rebecca and Michael

Rebecca's a Louisiana girl with all of the Southern charm.

You wouldn't know it from the adoring look Michael is giving his gorgeous bride... but these moments were interspersed with the unfortunate symptoms of stomach flu.

What a good sport you were Michael

Her grandmother passed away shortly before Rebecca was born, and unbeknownst to her they shared a love for hydrangeas. We love it when our brides incorporate sentimental touches

Soft shades of hydrangea mixed with calla lilies, white peonies and lily of the valley

Thanks to Bodie Brower of Bodwa Productions for his awesome photography

Lee's did a great job of duplicating this Antebellum cake from a picture Rebecca had been saving for her wedding.

From my earliest recollection, playing with flowers seemed a natural source of enjoyment for me. At age 5, I remember entering in the "Sand Saucer" event at school. Basically you took a saucer, filled it with sand and covered it with fresh cut flowers... no stems required. I remember mine had pansies and I couldn't wait until I was old enough to enter the "Flowers in a Bottle" arranging contest reserved for the much older and smarter 7-8yr olds. Being born and raised in New Zealand gave me a unique perspective on all things beautiful. My father a jeweler... my mother a theatrical director... threw us into a world of creative juice. The rest of my life has been spent in the pursuit of such. My greatest creation? Without a doubt... it is family. They who bring me the greatest joy, are those whom my husband and I have shared in bringing into this world. Now the circle widens as they are embarking on their own search for happiness. That is why I love weddings. It is the beginning of a new family. A new creation. So much "Joy" to come... and the process continues. Families are the basic unit of our society. We need to savor, nurture and protect them. Our small part as "Ella Bella", is helping others celebrate the beginings of this joyous occasion. There is something incredibly satisfying in that.
