Luxurious Winter Wedding at Bella Collina: Lisa and Jay

Sometimes, things don’t go exactly as planned, but there’s always a silver lining! Lisa and Jay’s Luxurious Winter Wedding at Bella Collina was stunning, and it was beautiful to see two such loving souls come together!

With Blush by Brandee Gaar at the helm, every detail of the day was unforgettable, with William Arthur Photography capturing it all for a lifetime!

All eyes were on Lisa, a vision in white as she walked down the aisle. Her bouquet stood out beautifully against her gown, created with blush hydrangea, white peony blooms, blush ranunculus, lissianthus, pink garden roses and, for a bit of contrast, black-eyed panda anemone!

Jay looked very handsome in his suit, a big smile on his face as he watched his bride walk towards him. To match Lisa’s beautiful bouquet, we created Jay and the groomsmens’ boutonnieres with ranunculus blooms and Italian ruscus foliage for a simple but elegant style.

Of course, we didn’t forget about the bridesmaids! The ladies looked lovely in long blush gowns, their bouquets a perfect complement with their soft, romantic tones and textures. Blush pink hydrangea and open champagne roses accented with lissianthus and ranunculus created unforgettable arrangements.

Shortly after the touching ceremony, it was time to celebrate! Unfortunately, a bit of rain drenched the outdoor reception area, but all of the amazing vendors came together to make sure that Lisa and Jay’s Luxurious Winter Wedding at Bella Collina would still be perfect!

Sure enough, the reception was a stunning affair. The tables were adorned with white-washed wooden vessels holding beautiful petite floral arrangements, all designed to match the bridesmaids’ bouquets. Royal blue linens on the tables and stylish black chairs completed the look, creating a totally unique yet timeless tablescape.

The dance floor had been soaked in the rain, but Jay didn’t let that stop him from dancing with his bride! Their first dance might not have gone exactly to plan, but it made for some beautiful memories and gorgeous photos.

As with all things, this Luxurious Winter Wedding at Bella Collina eventually had to end, and everyone gathered to wish our newlyweds well as they left as husband and wife.

Congratulations again, Lisa and Jay! Thank you for choosing us to create your wedding floral designs, and thanks to all the fantastic vendors that came together to keep the day going smoothly:

Mountain Lake Golf Club: Mike and Mira

When it comes to weddings, nothing stuns like simplicity. Mira and Mike’s wedding at Mountain Lake was a joy to behold. Blush by Brandee Gaar blew everyone away with classic design and coordination. Mango Studios expertly captured each beautiful moment of the ceremony and reception.

The garden wedding was a gorgeous affair. Mira stunned in a white gown and long veil, perfectly offset by a bridal bouquet of white hydrangea and roses. In contrast, Mike donned a simple but impactful boutonniere of white ranunculus.

The pair wed among their family and friends, looking like the perfect fairytale couple beneath a floral arch of lush greenery and white roses, tulips, and ranunculus.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests headed indoors for a beautiful reception. In keeping with the theme of white with gold accents, the tables had been lovingly adorned with floral centerpieces and gold candles. The centerpieces featured tulips, hydrangea, and roses – all white, of course!

After enjoying a delicious four-tier cake by Anna Cakes, with two gorgeous, gold “M”’s for a unique cake topper, Mira and Mike rode off in a golf cart to start their new life together. A beautiful end to a beautiful day!

We had a great time working alongside these vendors to create an event Mira and Mike would remember forever. We wish you all the best!

Private Residence: Russell and James

Weddings, whether big or small, are always an amazing experience for all involved. Russell and James’ wedding was no different.

Meticulously put together by Alison Watkins of Blush by Brandee Gaar, the event was equal parts intimate and sophisticated. Sara and Jason of Concept Photography beautifully captured every little smile and detail at the reception.

The day began with a simple yet gorgeous ceremony at the beach, followed by a reception enjoyed by all at a private residence. Keeping with the navy and yellow theme, the couple donned striking boutonnieres of single yellow calla lilies.

While James and Russell opted for all yellow flowers, the arrangements we created for them were anything but boring! Centerpieces featuring yellow calla lilies or yellow tulips evoked warmth and comfort, while the yellow roses adorning the buffet were the picture of elegant simplicity. Even the delicious, three-tier chevron cake expertly created by Party Flavors Custom Cakes looked even more beautiful surrounded by yellow roses.

All in all, it was a beautiful day, full of warmth, affection, and fun, and we were honored to be a part of it, along with these great vendors! James and Russell, congratulations on your new life together!

Bella Collina: Mary and Brian

Mary and Brian were high school sweethearts that found love again, tying the knot at Bella Collina this past March. Alison from Blush by Brandee Gaar was on hand to keep their special day running smoothly, with Andi Mans Photography taking all the shots and Love And Lustre Weddings filming their day from start to finish.

We chose bold and beautifully colored arrangements for Mary and Brian, with a vibrant display of hot pink, yellow and lavender roses with an assortment of complementing floral accents in the bridal bouquets and centerpieces. Mary’s cascading bouquet was the star of the show, adding on yellow and purple orchids to enhance it.

Once the couple sealed their marriage, the party continued on to the reception with DJ Larry from Power Entertainment DJ Service providing the entertainment.  The floral theme from the ceremony flowed to the reception, with our arrangements being the centerpieces on each of the tables, paired with classic black linens from Kirby Rentals and beautiful chiavari chairs and chargers from A Chair Affair. Party Flavors Custom Cakes designed a beautiful 3-tiered draped wedding cake with lace, sugar flowers and pearl detailing, with additional desserts created by Two Sweets Bake Shop and a chocolate fountain to top it all off from Hello Sugar.

Congratulations to Mary and Brian! We had a blast being a part of your wedding day. We’d like to thank the rest of the vendors for letting us to be a part of your team:
