Kelly and Kelley’s wedding was one of my favorites of the season and we are thrilled that it was featured in Atlantan Bride Magazine this month!

Laura and Jeremy’s August wedding at Snow Mountain Ranch was sweet, kind and lovely – just like these two.  Enjoy these photos from Casey Wigatow from TwoOne Photography . . .

Red, Orange and White – dahlias, peonies, roses and ginger.  Vintage Ski posters and lanterns.  Devils Thumb Ranch the week before Christmas.  From a design point of view, I was pretty happy.  Then came the radio flyer red wagon and I realized that this was going to be one of my favorite weddings in quite a while.

A huge thank you to Sarah Hays for sharing these lovely photos, the entire team at Devils Thumb Ranch, Maura from the Paper Guppy for all of the print work (I am obsessed with the vintage ski sign table numbers) Paula from Teacup Bakery, Ian from Elite DJ and most of all, to the fantastic Amy and Ryan for trusting me to create a fantastic design and coordinate a lovely day.  I wish you both of a lifetime of love and happy . . .now can we all go skiing?

I loved working with Shannon and Garvey.  This beautiful Sunday afternoon wedding was kind and intimate (and completely proved me wrong about IPOD weddings, they CAN be fun when everyone at the wedding is an expert salsa dancer!)  I loved the color palatte, the floral choices and the lanterns hanging from the beams in the Timberhouse.

A huge thank you to Yellow Paddle Photography for sharing these lovely images with us!

Desiree and Brett’s wedding was a snowy winter wonderland kind of Colorado Ranch wedding (it was only November but the snow was flying!).  I loved creating this floral design built around medium and dark pink roses, privet berries, dahlias, kale and Bells of Ireland.  Desiree created so many personal details (custom napkins, individual jars of jam, birdcages and custom wooden signs) that the entire day felt intimate and warm (despite the freezing temps!)  Devils Thumb Ranch served as the perfect venue,  Brinton Studios outdid themselves (AGAIN) capturing the day (click here to see the rest of this beautiful day) and Teacup Bakery created the delicious wedding cake.

I think it is pretty obvious that I love my job – I love where I get to work and live and I love the people that I am fortunate enough to work with.  Karina and Marcus were no exception.  I think Karina and I talked just as much about Sayulita, Mexico as we did about her wedding.  I am lucky that I keep finding like souls to work with.  Now with no further ado – some of Casey Wigatow’s (of Two One Photography) gorgeous pictures of this beautiful July wedding at Devils Thumb Ranch.

This was the 3rd wedding this season where I was given a color palatte of orange, green and purple and told to “make something ususual and fun”.  Kermit mums, veronica, mokara orchids and orange voodoo roses and I was in love!  Thank you for trusting us to design your day.  And here is to the annual surf trip to Sayulita!

Every once in a while in your professional life you come across someone who is meant to be a friend for life – I mean real life.  In the case of Brinton Studios, we got 2 out of the deal.  The flying bouquet (i.e. bridal bouquets being CHUCKED in the air as high as possible) has become somewhat of a signature picture in the last few years for Pick Me and Brinton Studios.  It all started with this . . .

The very first time we worked together on Mark and Annie’s wedding, I told CR and Tiffany that I was looking for a new logo – something fun and sassy and different.  I kid you not, moments later,  CR walked in and showed me this shot on his digital camera.  Needless to say – thank you Brinton Studios!  The color, the sky,  the light, the clouds looking like a sweet smoke trail, I couldn’t have planned this if I tried.  Since that fateful day in May two years ago, these magnificent photographers have been encouraging our mututal clients to throw the bouquets  and have FUN on their big days.  Needless to say, I never actually see this happening at the time.  But the end result is some of my favorite wedding pictures  . . .

Brinton Studios and Pick Me Floral and Events simply make weddings fun!

I loved working with this couple.  A bright and fun color palatte of chartruse, orange and chocolate brown, a gorgeous couple. chinese lanterns and        . . . did I mention the John Deere gaters?  Yep, any bride who rolls up to her wedding on a John Deere (with her Dad) is top notch in our book.  Enjoy some of these lovely photos from Steve Stanton Photography.

Kristen and Chris, thank you for picking us to design this stunning day for you two.  We wish you a lifetime of love and happy . . .

I just came across one of my favorite Devils Thumb Ranch weddings from a few years ago featured on myweddings.com.   Lauren and Tony are gorgeous, kind and really do walk the walk they talk – green, organic and local.  I was thrilled to work with the lovely Katie Thurmes of Jenna Walker Photography, the lovely Erin from Plum Sage as well as the delightful boys from Hunker Down Bluegrass.  Lauren and Tony – your wedding was absolutely one of the best!  Click here to see the rest of this love story . . .
