“The Earth Laughs In Flowers”

It was so exciting to finally meet Amanda and Mike!

Through the (Greatest Expectations) grapevine, word was that they both were interested in a very “country chic” style. Hearing this brought nothing short of a flurry of ideas to share with them.   Their color palette is dusty yet vibrant, dramatic, and filled with ambiance and romance.  They share a love for an eclectic style paired with a certain familiarity that offers something sweet and heartwarming. And despite their non-traditional tendencies, simplicity was an adjective often used.

Our shared ideas held on as almost endless, flirting with river rocks, rosemary, artichokes, chalkboards, grapevine, succulents, trailing ribbons, moss, and so much more.   We discussed mason jars, candles, mix-matched pieces and mercury glass.  Blooms included garden roses, hydrangea, ornamental kale, dusty miller, Queen Anne’s lace and orchid florets.  I know I’m beginning to sound like a broken record, but this couple’s style just has me gushing! The flowers they love are just exquisite!

Amanda and Mike are such a delight.   Our conversation regarding stylized tables and floral blossoms moved along just wonderfully.  However, the obvious and larger picture was the two of them as a couple.  Their laugher and smiles both carried the conversation and the all-embracing spirit encompassed our time shared together.  Throughout the entire meeting they turned to one another, smiled, held hands and were as happy as you can imagine.  They are truly in love and behind their bliss for the planning and process of the wedding, the larger joy stems from their love for one another.  Amanda and Mike, congratulations on your engagement, and a deeply heartfelt thank you for allowing Fleur to be a part of your wedding on Eleven-Eleven.

Here is a fantastic video from Poetic Productions showing several meetings Amanda and Mike had with some of their wedding sponsors.  We hope you enjoy it!
