The first bride I'll be working with this year has a lovely sense of her own style and enjoys a limited and clean look. Since I tend to be a bit "messy" in my designs, this took considerable restraint on my part to keep my style "in line".
Her bouquets will be simple white hydrangea's with grey satin ribbon, but the tins of flowers to line the aisle and the table decor will be a bit more developed, though still with just a green and white palette.
Sometimes I do like to give some alternative options, just to allow the bride to consider other possibilities.
This arrangement has some added color, but it's mostly the textural elements that offer some interest.
This arrangement ended up on my table when a snow day canceled an event I was scheduled to work. Now that's a bonus I really can't complain about.
Winter seems to be the gift that keeps on giving this year. But a little tour of my neighborhood is reminding me that before too long, there will be life bursting forth once again.
Anticipating the seasons changing makes me want to be like the people in those Home Depot commercials who get up and DO something to get it going.
Yet quietly, without me lifting a finger, these little buds form, and plants are preparing to burst out in glorious life. Yes, God is quietly creating while I hide by the fireside!

and though before long the riot of color, scents and busyness of birds will be nearly overwhelming, for now, winter keeps its hold and spring peacefully prepares.
While summer brides are still a bit dreamy, spring brides are getting those final details in a row.
Look for a few postings featuring a recent bridal preview.
Rest a bit more and get ready for the busy season!
