Sydney + Shawn | Raleigh, North Carolina Floral Designer

The best way to begin the New Year was with Sydney and Shawn's New Year's Day wedding! With a ceremony at Vintage Church and reception at The Stockroom, the florals contained foraged greens and privet berries, olive branch, jasmine vine, eucalyptus, garden roses, snaps, veronica, anemones, spray roses and queen anne's lace among other blooms! A favorite fun detail? Oversized balloons with floral and greenery "strings" that greeted guests as they entered The Stockroom!

Christina + Andy | Durham, North Carolina Floral Designer

Christina and Andy were one of Ashlee's clients prior to joining our team last year, so when their wedding arrived in September it was extra special to work on their florals!

Married at First Presbyterian Church in Durham with a reception following at The Cotton Room, Christina and Andy wanted a lush, organic garden feel for all of their florals. Our favorite detail? Perhaps the individual bud vases that served as place cards (and favors!) for each guest -- these coupled with candlelight from the tapered candles on brass candlesticks made the entire Cotton Room glow.
