Southern Weddings

Emily summed up her wedding florals from Blooming Ideas in just one word – “breathtaking” – but we’ll add a few more: soft, organic, pretty but not girly… I guess you could say we like these blooms, too!  Of course, my sugar addiction takes me right to the his and her wedding cakes designed by the staff at the Woodlands Resort.  They’re different (chocolate vs. vanilla, bow vs. flower detailing, etc.) enough to be fun and personal, but still similar enough to go perfectly together – just like the bride + groom.  Too cute!  For more images from photographer Akil Bennett, take a peek at his original blog post of Emily + Will’s wedding celebration.

Describe your wedding flowers: Our flowers were just breathtaking! I loved them! I wanted our flowers to look like a field of spring wildflowers, but also to have an organic feel. I think we achieved that perfectly with a mixture of peonies, ranunculus, tulips, daisies, sweet peas and hydrangeas – all wrapped in grapevine!
Describe your wedding cake:  Our wedding cake was so delicious! The exterior of the cake was designed with lacey fondant to mimic the intricate detailing of my dress, and topped with pink peonies.
What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day? Our most memorable moment was definitely seeing each other when I walked down the aisle. I will never forget the look on Will’s face when he saw me for the first time.  Another “memorable” moment was our last dance. We started playing a slow song … that faded into Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.” That’s right, we rick-rolled our guests!
What’s next for you as a couple?  What are you looking forward to in the future? We are simply looking forward to starting this new chapter of our lives, cherishing the moments when we are together and spending lots of time outside!

Congratulations, Emily + Will!  Thank you for sharing your day with us!
