Jenny and Ross

Most brides come to us with a color in mind but once in a while we get a bride who already has a clear picture of a specific style in mind. Jenny and Ross' "Great Gatsby" wedding gave us an opportunity to break away from the typical trendy colors and do something very classic "Black and Ivory".

As always... thanks Jessica for these beautiful images!

There is something to be said about using flowers in season. Luscious white Peonies, heady scented Gardenias, Lily of the Valley, English Garden Roses, and full sized Ranunculas, teamed with Lisianthus and white Hydrangea never looked better in this traditionally romantic bouquet. Cuffed with black feathers and a stripped pearl studded wrap this design was a fun deviation from the norm.

Ross looked completely debonair with this Ranunculus and Fern Curl Boutonniere.

It's probably safe to say that the corsage is the least photographed flower at the reception, but this Freesia, Ranunculus, Lisianthus and Lily of the Valley design deserves a special mention.

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.
