What’s the next big thing? The days of the great big over the top arrangements are done. It’s much more about being organic, conscious of the environment, like paper flowers and lots of natural elements.
What should brides and grooms already know before contacting you? They should know their location, the sort of style they are looking for – not necessarily the design – but are they looking for a modern wedding or a classical wedding? They should know some of the flowers they would like to use. If possible, a ballpark figure of what they are looking to spend is always helpful.
What is your specialty? We use absolutely no filler or greenery. Our look is very European, very tight and compact with large quantities of flowers. What sets us apart is that it is very one-on-one, personal service from the minute the bride comes to the day of the wedding.
It! Inspiration: Pink & Grey

Now that Fall is in full bloom, it’s finally time to dust off our chunky cable-knit sweaters and cuddle with the closest boy/girlfriend, puppy, baby or best friend in sight. The refreshing chill in the air puts us under a love spell that brings out the mushy-gushy-lovey-dovey in full force. To satisfy the hopeless romanic in us all, here is our latest inspiration board filled with delicate feminine details and a muted color palette of blush, pale pink, grey and cream.

We’re Obsessed! Real Love Story: Milano + Jacob
- by It! Weddings & Events
We are absolutely gushing over college sweethearts, Milano and Jacob. The California gal and Southern gentlemen, who met at their school’s orientation, reflect on their life together from the moment they met up until to their engagement in this beautifully shot video. We’re totally obsessed with this keepsake!
