Portland Bridal Editorial Shoot with Macoy Dean Photography

Who does not love a fall photo shoot?

But really, I love how those photos and the bouquet exudes spring or summer yet it all happened in the November.

The warm rays of sunshine and a perfectly soft color palette are making it happen.  MacCoy Dean Photography did a fabulous job capturing all the magic.

Jaydeep + Priya Wedding proposal at Lan Su Gardens, Portland Chinese Gardens

Jaydeep chose the most stunning setting to propose to his girlfriend Priya. 

I was honored to provide gorgeous flowers to mark this momentous occasion. Erica Ann Photography captured this special moment at Lan Su Chinese Garden in Portland Oregon.

The groom to be, wore a stylish botanical pocket square that I created to coordinate with his suit and tie. It was a fun and unique alternative to a traditional boutonniere. 

Priya's favorite flower "the Peony" was featured along side garden roses, freesia, jasmine, camelia, ranunculus and foliage in this beautiful garden style set up; marking the spot where Jaydeep proposed. 

For more photos of this proposal head on over to Erica Ann Photography Blog.

Modern wrist corsages for weddings and special occasions

Forget about the old high school wrist corsages full of bling, tulle and spray paint. There are countless options when it comes to beautiful and modern wrist corsages.

I really enjoy designing wrist corsages; they are tiny little master pieces. Very intricate, detailed and full of unexpected textures. The sky is the limit when it comes to flowers to wear.

Alexandra + Clay - Villa Catalana Cellars -Oregon City, OR

Alexandra wanted a spring bouquet in lavender and peach tones.

Her bridal bouquet included locally grown fresh lavender, peonies, sweet peas, stock, succulents and sweetheart roses. The fragrance was absolutely divine and all the flowers used were 100% American Grown. 

Here is what Alexandra had to say about her experience: 

"My wedding bouquet far exceeded my expectations! Lora created a stunning bridal bouquet that was more beautiful than the pictures I had sent her from Pinterest. She worked with me and my budget in creating equally gorgeous bridal party bouquets and boutonnieres. I could not have been more satisfied and have already recommended her to friends."
