Bella Bride: Maggie Samuel and Cliff Kerby

A fresh and elegant spring wedding was created for beautiful Bella Bride Maggie Samuel and her now husband Cliff Kerby at Preston Road Church of Christ on May 28, 2011.

The glowing bride chose a beautiful white and ivory bouquet designed with classic hydrangeas, seasonal peonies, freesia and dashes of sweet pea. Keeping with the bride's fresh and elegant theme, the bridesmaids carried bouquets that included a mixture of light blue, fresh green and accents of deep blue blooms of hydrangeas, muscari and baby orchids.

The altar area was adorned with two flourishing arrangements of antique green, ivory, light blue, and champagne tones. Floral stems included voluminous hydrangea, roses, peonies, sweet stock, and longer stems of Bells of Ireland. The lovely arrangements framed the couple beautifully at the altar.

The groom and groomsmen wore boutonnieres designed with wonderfully textured green orchid blooms with hints of muscari all wrapped with an elegant black ribbon. 

Keeping with traiditon of not seeing each other before the walk down the aisle...

Mr. and Mrs. Kerby!

The couple's reception took place at the Dallas Museum of Art which went perfectly with their elegant yet fun and organic theme.

Maggie and Cliff kept their guests refreshed by offering fun colored drinks that went with their decor perfectly.

Let the dancing begin!

The wedding was gorgeous and we loved creating an unforgettable event for Maggie and Cliff! We are so happy to have been part of their special day and wish them the very best!

Bella Bride: Stephanie Velasquez and Andrew Szatan

Whew! How is it already almost 2011? Where has the year gone?! We've had a great year at Bella Flora and are looking forward to 2011 with our new brides =) But first, let's take a look back at this beautiful bride who celebrated her October 30, 2010 wedding in style. Stephanie and Andrew met seven years ago on Halloween and wanted to celebrate during their favorite time of year. This fun and positive group was so great to work with, and we are so excited to share their beautiful day with you!

Stephanie and Andrew exchanged I Do's at the Dallas Museum of Art in the beautiful sculpture gardens in front of the gorgeous water fall. The rich jewel tones were perfect for the evening ceremony.

The altar area was adorned with a beautiful and modern backdrop composed of a grand collection of vessels placed on top the clear Lucite table. Submerged floral and candlelight added an extra element of interest.

The aisle chairs were embellished with simple and stylish purple/violet hydrangea and ribbon streamers that flowed gracefully down the chair.

Stephanie's exquisite bouquet was designed using a glorious blending of deep plum, violet and Vanda-toned floral fashioned into a perfect pave bouquet. The design incorporated a blending of interesting textures
including lavender hydrangea, fragrant freesia, two toned calla lilies, Vanda orchids and grape muscari.


























The stunning bouquet was accented with a crystal broach.

The bridesmaids were given gorgeous bouquets designed in floral in tones of deep violets, amethyst, raspberry, silver greys and vibrant splashed of fuchsia toned blossoms. The color palette accented their dresses beautifully!

What a handsome group of guys!

Andrew's bout. was designed with a unique Picasso mini calla that coordinated with Stephanie's colorful bouquet.

After the ceremony, guests headed to the reception in the Atrium which was transformed with fantastic lighting, exquisite linens and fabulous floral. I love how this picture captures the full "sha-bang" of Stephanie's vision.

What great detailing on the wall!

Select tables were adorned with a trio of tall glass flauta vases that were filled with fluttery blossoms of violet and lavender lush hydrangeas. The gorgeous and natural tone was complemented with  an array of lower lying mercury glass vessels that displayed soft textured mounds of all sweet stock, pretty garden roses, and calypso orchids.

Another selection of round tables were accented with a collection of glass vessels that were filled with fresh water and stunning lavender Dutch hydrangeas, phalaenopsis, and calypso orchids flowing over in a mass setting.

Cheers!

The masks were a huge hit!

These next few shots are great. Their exuberant energy is practically oozing off the page!

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Szatan!

Bella Bride: Kelly Bruney and Scott Hershman

Kelly Bruney and Scott Hershman's big day was anything but spooky when they exchanged vows October 30, 2010 at The Stoneleigh Hotel. This wedding was full of all things we love-- lush floral, a dash of bling and LOTS of pink! Kelly's girly personality shined through with her pink vail, polka dotted cake and unique bouquets. The ever so talented Sallee Photography captured the beautiful day. Check out the gorgeous pictures and the rest of the vendors that made Kelly and Scott's day possible.

This photo captures the essence of their special day perfectly. Ruffles, sparkles, a good lookin' groom,  man's best friend and gorgeous floral-- what else could a girl need?

In lieu of a traditional bouquet, Kelly choose a soft textured orb of all soft pink lush hydrangeas. The pearl accents made for easy carrying and a cute accessory all night!

The bridesmaids were given charming pomander orbs designed with solely soft pink rosettes all attached to black ribbons for easy carrying down the aisle.

The Ballroom at The Stoneleigh was transformed into a romantic setting complete with soft candlelight, white orchids and plenty of sparkle. The mantle served as the perfect backdrop as the couple exchanged "I Dos". Beautiful garlands of white strung orchids cascading from the mantle were accented by a curtain of beautiful sparkling crystal jewels. In addition, on top of the mantle was a mass collection of varying heights of candlelight. At the base stood tall cylindrical vases housing submerged white orchid garlands for a pop of color.

A black runner stretched from the aisle entry to the aisle and created a pristine path for the bride. Beautiful soft pink petals adorned the sides of the runner, adding a great pop of color. Tall glass cylinders created a soft glowing affect with floating candlelight and submerged soft pink floral.

Guests made their way into the Penthouse for the cocktail hour. Great food and interesting floral arrangements awaited them.

The mantle in the music room was adorned with a collection of glowing candlelight in both floating and pillared form. Vanda blooms, fuchsia orchids and unique succulent blossoms were placed within for added color.

The existing niches in the dining room were adorned with blue vases filled with a textural display of fluttery yellow James story. The yellow really shined in the blue room.

This is one of my favorite looks! The unique floral display and rich color really made an impact.

When guests returned to the ballroom for the reception, they were shocked to see the transformation. Beautiful blush ribbon overlays covered the tables, creating a beautiful textural element.

Each of the guest tables were adorned with a gorgeous arrangement designed with soft tones of blushes of pale pinks. A collection of glass stem candleholders accented the base of the tall arrangements creating a soft romantic glow.

The bride's fun cake sat on top a beautiful residential mirrored table to complement the overall decor.

Love this shot!

So perfect! Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Hershman!
