In honor of the recent Spring Equinox, I wanted to posting a few of my favorite spring inspired bouquets. Though many of these blooms can be found year round, it is the whimsy and joie de vive with which these floral combinations are arranged, that inspire dreams of sunkissed afternoons.

Affordable Couture Wedding Gowns

After my appearance on WE TVs "Platinum Weddings," I've gained tremendous national attention.

Brides from all over the country email me daily, asking questions as unique and diversified as they are...but one consistent question that I get is "where did you find that gown?"
