Your engagement photos. Not sure about green for the wedding? Try adding a pop of green to your engagement photos. Green is always eye catching and flattering on most skin tones. You just have to experiment to find the right hue.
The perfect dress. I can't stop dreaming about this one! Emerald green meets Great Gatsby perfection! The bride slipped into this gorgeous number before the reception.
Whew.... we've been busy. Sorry we haven't kept you up to date. So, here's what you missed.

Main Street Florist received the most amazing little package in the mail the other day... we've been anticipating it for months now. What was it? It was a beautiful little CD full of images from our largest wedding event so far. We were beyond excited! Thank you TenSixteen Photography for your amazing talents!
The flowers and colors for this wedding were so vibrant and dynamic. Green Trix Carnations, Orange Roses, Red Celosia, Green Fugi Mum, Orange Pin Cusions, Orange Gerbers, Red Spray Roses, Green Hypericum, and the list goes on and on. We couldn't help ourselves with this wedding's color palatte.
Derek, the Groom, requested "no flowers" in the boutineers. We were up for the task. The men's boutineers comprised of Foxtail, Hypericum Berries, and Seeded Eucalyptus.
125 mason jars, wine bottles, and Starbucks Frappuccino bottles made up the centerpieces. Each vessel was filled with an assortment of flowers matching the bright color scheme. To add a little more character to the tables, the bride and her family created card holders for each table from barb wire and split logs.
The lovely LoBue Family (btw... this is my husband and in-laws... I'm a little bias) hosted the wedding and reception at their farm located outside of Carlinville. The setting couldn't have been a more perfect. Thanks to all the hard work of the LoBue family and friends. It was a picture perfect day (once the rained stopped)! We were so honored to help out with both the flowers and decorations for this unique wedding. A special thanks again to TenSixteen Photography for the wonderful photos!
