Vanessa Mears & Andy Kennedy

Gorgeous photos by Geri Ciulla of Ciulla Photography. Thanks Geri!


There are some pictures that just speak to me, and the one above is a perfect example. When I'm posting pics from a particular wedding, I usually post one of my favorites first. And there is just something about this one that I love....Geri Ciulla is an amazing photog! The bride, Vanessa, was fabulous to work with. She knew what she wanted from the get go and pulled all of her details together beautifully. Vanessa picked some of my favorite flowers, including Peonies, Roses, and Ranunculus. Vanessa, if you're reading this, thanks and thank you for being a pleasure to work with!!! Oh, and if you have any pics of your fabulous blumeboxes...shoot one over. You did such a great job with them, I need to post it!

See below for the fabulous vendors involved in the wedding.

Sneak Peak - Cincinnati Wedding Magazine!

So, we don't know if all of these bouquets are going to be used in the next Cincinnati Wedding Magazine. But, at least one of them will be, and we sure did have a good time assembling them. The theme was "Sacred Spaces", and the bouquets are supposed to echo things associated with sacred spaces. One is "Wood and Ivory", one is "Garden of Eden", and one is "Stained Glass". We'll let you guess which is which. The designers on these bouquets were Courtenay Lambert (me), and Jen Shorten. I have not officially introduced Jen yet, but I will be soon. In the meantime, Jen is a fabulous designer who joined CLF about a month ago, and I for one, am so excited and happy to have her on board!

Photos by Bluebird Photography...thanks April for these amazing shots!!!

I feel so lucky to have such great customers. Kim was a pleasure to work with and so organized. She knew what she wanted and the color palette she chose was gorgeous (plums, deep reds, and black)...so elegant. Kim is having her bouquet preserved, and I will post a picture of it once it's done...I think it will be stunning!

Thanks Kim and Chris for allowing us to be a part of your special day!

Jen and Paul

This was such a fun wedding! Mostly, I worked with Jen and her mom on the florals, and they really had a classic style. We used lavendars, mauves, and ivories, and we used gorgeous garden roses in Jen's bouquet. We had the pleasure of working with Kristen and Rick or Tres Chic Events, and Steve Lyons of Steve Lyons Wedding Photography took these amazing shots. Jen and Paul, thanks for letting me be a part of your fabulous day!

Rick of Tres Chic Events, being fabulous as usual.
