Jamie + Stephen | Durham, North Carolina Floral Designer

Jamie + Stephen were married on a beautiful Spring afternoon in March at the gorgeous Bay 7 in Durham. With a classic black and white color palette, Jamie wanted lots of greenery with lush blooms to compliment. We used polo roses, alabaster garden roses, tibet roses and playa blanca roses, complimented with white anemone, spray roses, astilbe, ranunculus, double tulips, lisianthus and veronica, as well as dusty miller, silver dollar, seeded and gunii eucalyptus. The result was one of our favorite (and largest!) bouquets to date. My favorite part was adding a piece of daphene from my own garden to the bouquet and boutonniere to help trigger scent memories for years to come of this special day!

Simply Elegant Floral Designs becomes Meristem Floral

Simply Elegant Floral Designs becomes Meristem Floral

Big changes are blooming! Simply Elegant Floral Designs has a new name, new brand, new website and more. After much thought and reflection, I knew it was time to rename my business to better align with the brides and clients I am now working with. So today we launch Meristem Floral.

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!

It's hard to go wrong with a classic black and white affair! Stephanie and Zach look so glamorous during their wedding at the Merrimon-Wynne House. All white florals paired well with touches of gold and gatsby inspired decor throughout the house and tent!

Alesandra + Kevin | Raleigh, North Carolina Floral Designer

We're not sure if we can pick an absolute favorite flower, but I can wager that a perfect in-season cafe au lait dahlia would be near the top of the list! Alesandra and Kevin (alongside their adorable pup!) were married at the Merrimon-Wynne House on a beautiful Saturday in September and we were happy to help with her personal flowers for her, her girls and a succulent boutonniere for the groom!
