Dooo.....You Know What Today Is??!! It's Our Anniversary!

Yes, for those of you that are familiar with the Tony! Toni! TonĂ©! song, I was singing it in my head as I was typing the title to this post :) Wowzers, I can't believe it has been two years, time does fly when your having fun!! It's hard to put into words the love I have for my husband, I thank God every day for him and the wonderful parents that raised him to be the perfect husband. When someone takes on your dreams as their own and does everything they can to assist and be there for you, while staying true to who they are, is such a powerful thing and I am so blessed. As we travel to paradise to celebrate our love and commitment for each other, I just wanted to take the time to thank all of our family and friends that continue to bless our lives together. You all were there two years ago on 05.24.08 to support and share in our day and that love and support has not waivered and for that we are so very grateful. Enjoy a few of our favorite wedding day pictures!

C & A ~ Centerpieces & Details!

One thing we pride ourselves on is being able to bring any space to life, this was definitely the case for this reception space. Tallahassee only has a handful of event spaces that allow you the freedom to bring in your own vendors and this was really important to this couple. They wanted a family friend to handle the catering so they had to find a space that would allow it and the Old Antique Car Museum was a great location for that. However, this space did present some challenges decor wise but with a little imagination and COLOR, the end result for this reception was spectacular. The couple initially had a yellow and chocolate brown color scheme and after viewing the reception site, we asked them to allow us to add a pop color to the decor because the paint and the carpet of the venue blended with their color scheme. They agreed and I think the pop of pink here and there was very posh. We loved this bride so much, she is just the sweetest person and we will miss our meetings with her, she kept us smiling :) It was our pleasure to surprise her with a crystal tree for the check in table:



I absolutely loved how this tree came out. The china mums are so luxurious in texture they worked well with the crystals and the metallic gold of the tree.


We created two different centerpieces for this wedding. This was our Lemon bride :) That is all she requested and gave us creative control to come up with something that would work well in the space. For the tall centerpieces we created a caranation ball with birch branches. The ceilings were sssooo low in this space so we didn't want the centerpieces to be too high. The first picture was taken right before the guest came in.




The smaller centerpieces were in a small round cylinder vase, lined with coffee beans and packed with gorgeous skyline & light yellow roses, white roses, pink spray roses, yellow freesia and billy balls. We also used birch branches and lemons to tie in all the centerpieces.





We also created all of the paper details for this wedding. In this next shot you can get a view of the coffee beans used in the smaller centerpieces.



I wanted to share how cute this cake was. Tiki's Tasties really is a fantastic vendor to use. Her work is fantastic and her cakes are beyond delicious. Hands down, one of the best in this area. We used her for our wedding so I can personally recommend her services. Posh provided the flowers and Tiki and her team produced another masterpiece. Cute!



Chirrie & Ren, we wish you all many years of wedded bliss. We loved working with you and your family and thank you for letting us be a part of your day!

Brown/Chocolate Flowers...Gross or Gorgeous?! You be the Judge!

I have a wedding coming up in a month or so and the bride and groom have chosen a yellow and chocolate brown color scheme. First off, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE yellow, who doesn't love yellow?! It has to be one of my favorite colors due to the instant gratification you get when you see most things that are yellow, it is such a happy color. Brown on the other hand is very modern, very sharp and crisp when you have the right shade of brown. I'm sure just about everyone in and out of the industry has noticed how brown almost became the new black. However, black is timeless and classic and can never be replaced but it is nice to use brown and have it look just as elegant. Anyone keeping up with wedding trends can affirm the massive takeover this one color has had on everything from dresses to favors to tuxedos. It is often paired with tiffany blue, apple green, even red and lavender. It was one of the dominant colors in my own wedding and I love to see it used the right way, especially in fabrics but does anyone want to see brown flowers? I'm biased, I think all flowers have some sort of beauty that makes it unique and different and I'm looking forward to accenting my designs with chocolate flowers for my yellow bride.


First up, the beautiful Chocolate Cosmo. This is a wonderful flower to use in bouquets.
Orchids and Yes, I swooned over these!!!



Another favorite, brown fern curls, these beauties look great in bouquets, bout's & centerpieces.


Chocolate Sunflowers!!! Yes, they come in brown, I was introduced to these beauties by my wholesaler.

Stay tuned to see which of these gorgeous brown flowers I use in my designs for my yellow bride!!

Stay Posh!
