I love these Spring days with warm sun pouring through the windows, birds chirping, thoughts of easy, breezy days, and, of course, wedding season. It’s the beginning of a time so romantic and wistful. That’s precisely why San Francisco-based, Cherries Flowers, had me from the get go with their enchanting and artistic floral designs. At once refined and unaffected, their designs have an elegant yet sweetly approachable quality. One look through their portfolios and you’ll see that they’re not afraid of a little whimsy either. And, that combination is just the ticket for my kind of wedding.

Happy Tuesday! Here is a little flashback to an awesome autumn wedding we featured several months ago by Jenna Walker Photography!
It wasn’t too long ago that we featured a mountain wedding, but when Lauren and Tony’s wedding by Jenna Walker Photography came across my desk I knew that I had to share it. Whereas Katie and Nick’s wedding was all about classic detailing, Lauren and Tony’s has a sense of rustic elegance that perfectly fits the wide-open spaces of their venue. (Full editorial disclosure: An owner of Devil’s Thumb Ranch is an investor in mywedding.com).
From Lauren’s lovingly worn cowboy boots, to their sunflower centerpieces in wooden boxes, to their jaunt down a country road, their details give a nod to their Western locale while still staying true to their wedding’s overall elegance. And just by virtue of having their wedding…
Said to represent anticipation and luck, anemones are the perfect wedding flower for those couples looking for a bold flower that is also very delicate and feminine.

Here are 3 eco-chic flower alternatives that are beautiful and cost effective.

If you still want to carry a bouquet, but want to go a more untraditional route, consider creating a bouquet out of sentimental and personal items.
