Debbie and Mike's Wedding on September 25, 2010

Mike and Debbie were married last fall and chose gorgeous pastels with some pops of gorgeous purples, all to contrast the turquoise dresses. The flowers we worked with are absolutely signature Savannah's Garden favorites! Sweet peas, hydrangeas, garden roses, asiatic lilies, dahlias, hypericum berries, lisianthus, and spray roses.

I absolutely LOVE everything about these flowers!

A close up of Debbie's bouquet. Her and I go way back, as we went to grade school together. It's always great to catch up with old friends and be able to help add something to the biggest day of their lives. I totally LOVE my job!

We used button dahlias for the men's flowers.

A gorgeous garden ceremony was held at the First Wesleyan Church in Bridgeton, NJ. I absolutely love the setting of all the lively ambiance of the fresh flowers, arranged and potted. This is something I always recommend doing when you want to have gifts for the family to bring home. They can  plant the flowers and  remember the wonderful wedding memories every time they walk through their garden.

All the beautiful girls!

Their reception was held at Lucien's in Berlin. The cake was gorgeous!

I LOVE cakes that are covered in fresh flowers!

LOVED her centerpieces! Simple, fragrant garden flowers with loads of ivy for a pretty garden feel. I want to wish you guys a fabulous life together as husband and wife and many, many blessings!

Running Deer Bridal Show on February 13, 2011

We had a BLAST at the recent bridal show at Running Deer Golf Club on 2/13/11. It was a great show at a great venue! Absolutely the nicest in Salem County and the best in Pittsgrove Township BY FAR! Heather and Tara are great to work with as well! My wedding reception was at Running Deer in 2004 and we have been setting up weddings here since before that! It was an insane weekend for us being this show fell on Valentine's Day Eve, but we were able to create some fun and natural pieces that reflected the season. Spring is in the air and we loaded the table with fresh arrangements that caught everyone's eye! If time allowed, I would have done way more. Regardless, it was a wonderful, electric show, and we met loads of new brides, and also caught up with a few former ones too! These fabulous photos are courtesy of Tami Melissa Photography, who is based out of Barrington, NJ and is simply AMAZING! We have worked together for about a year after her business was formed, and her business is booming! She is booking super fast so call her if you like what you see!

The table screamed spring!

This bouquet was so vivid, it was blinding. Hot pink gerberas, fuschia phalenopsis orchids, yellow and orange roses, hot pink hyacinths, green trick, and a thick diamond crystal bracelet at the base of the cobalt satin ribbon covering the stems.

Simple and springy. Daffodils in their pure beauty with a crystal dragonfly. I love aqua and yellow!

White hydrangeas, champagne Sahara roses, and ivory gerberas in a cube wrapped with champagne satin and a pretty antique brooch. I am crazy for anything Shabby Chic and sparkly!

I LOVE blooming branches and these quince branches opened just in time, that I had to use them. I love using botanicals in their raw state, so why embellish a good thing? Ok, maybe embellish slightly, I added tiny Swarovski crystals to this arrangement designed with Dew Drop gerberas, Mimi Eden spray roses, Sahara roses, daffodils, and hot pink ranunculus.

Knowlton Mansion Bridal Show Highlights!

I am obsessive with these sweet peas, they are becoming a staple for us, LOVE them!

This is a sample of Evalis and David's low centerpiece for their July wedding this summer! They flipped out when they saw it! This is created with purple moon carnations and is accented with silver metallic pebbles and purple votive cups. I cannot wait for this wedding!!!

FABULOUS new photographer that I just met! Lindsay Docherty is based out of Philadelphia in the Main Line area, so if you need someone in the city, or anywhere else, Lindsay does awesome work! She took all of these photos and sent them over!

Check out her amazing booth! Simply the coolest setting for a bridal show! I absolutely LOVE this!

Kelly and Dan on January 7, 2011

Kelly's wedding flowers were a BLAST to create! Kelly found a cascading bouquet in a magazine and asked me if I could duplicate it using some roses, callas, and orchids. It turned out FABULOUS!

I stacked Dendrobium orchids on wire and added crystals at the base!

The bridesmaids flowers were amazing! The maid of honor had some Picasso callas, purple sweet peas, and gerberas in 3 colors. The finishing touch was loads of feathers in tans, browns, mallard greens, and wines. The looked simply amazing!

I remember this moment at my wedding and to me, this is the highlight of the entire day!

This is one of the most beautiful Christmas displays I have ever seen. Right out of Longwood Gardens!

These amazing photos are courtesy of  T. Alimario Photography in Wenonah, NJ. I have worked with him in the past and he is definitely one of my absolute favorites!

Right out of Platinum Wedding!

Their reception was in Philadelphia at the Ballroom at the Ben.

The bride did these herself and I would say she did an amazing job!

Dan wore 2 white dendrobium orchid blooms with a hint of ginestra and seeded eucalyptis.

I know these girls are cold but there is something so captivating about the snow as a backdrop!
What a great day and a beautiful couple! We wish you guys the absolute very best and look forward to another wedding for this family when Dana gets married in April!

Gearing up for Another Awesome Year!!! Bring It On 2011!

As I write this blog, I realize what an amazing year 2010 was! We had an extremely successful year and created flowers for over 70 weddings! I am constantly reminded that my imagination and passion for what I do has only made me crave more. My husband and I are also raising a gorgeous 15 month old little boy, who I refuse to put in daycare so he is with me 24/7, and I still have been able to accomplish more this year than I ever have. I am truly blessed, as is my business. I have a fabulous team of designers who work so well together, that this has never felt like a job. We love it so much, it's not even work. I'd like to take this opportunity to say Thank You, to all of my brides past and present. You have put your trust in me and it has been my sincere pleasure do to for you, what I truly love to do. I'm overwhelmed by all the support and fabulous reviews that have been left for us. Savannah's Garden was also just chosen as a Best of The Knot 2011 winner as well! So now as we get ready to kick it into high gear, get ready for more blogs, as I will keep it coming!!! Let me finish with some awesome photos from the year...and many more to come!
