One of my favorite photoshoots we’ve ever done is this Palm Springs Modern Moroccan Elopement. Texture, subtle color mixed with complex neutrals, beautiful textiles, and elegant ease. It’s the definition of a modern elopement.

I’m back, with more intimate wedding inspiration! This time, I’m sharing unseen photos from a Miami photoshoot with one of my favorite photographers, Lauren Kinsey. These florals and fresh and romantic, with trailing greenery and just enough hints of mauve and burgundy to transition late Summer blooms into Fall and beyond. The bridal jumpsuit gives a modern, powerful twist to a reception that would otherwise lean heavily on old-world patinas and architecture. Scroll through for more inspiration on how to blend old and new in your own intimate reception. At the end, I’ve included similar products so you can easily recreate the look! Happy scrolling!

Weddings are changing, y’all. But you didn’t need me to tell you that, did you? After you’ve given yourself time to adjust to the fact that your weddings are going to look very different in the coming months and years, let me be the first to point out that these new changes can be a very good thing. A little while ago, I sold my huge 6,000 square foot wedding studio and moved my office home. There was a point in my life that this would have felt like complete and total defeat. In reality, it’s led to beautiful things in my business and personal life.

We’re entering into a new era of weddings, friends! It’s time we get real comfortable with elopements and micro-weddings, cause there’s here to stay! This is where florals come in! Nothing transforms a pretty white dress into a wedding gown like a bridal bouquet. Whether the elopement is happing in city hall, a backyard, or on the top of a mountain, wedding flowers make things special. I love this delicate blush and lilac floral inspiration that I’ve never shared before!

This photo will forever make me laugh and here’s why:
I received a phone call from Arkansas Life Magazine and they said they wanted to feature me as one of the seven Arkansans who are “just as good at getting dressed as running successful businesses” (their words not mine). They also said they’d like to photograph me in one of my favorite spaces, a place that makes me truly happy.

First ask yourself:
Do you really want a floral business? It’s okay to have a hobby and for it to be simply a hobby. My greatest passion is travel, but I wouldn’t enjoy it as much if every time I traveled, I also had to write a feature about it.
I think it’ really important to know that owning your own floral business doesn’t mean you are doing flowers all day. There is a reason only 5% of small businesses succeed. The business-side of it takes up the majority of your day.

I used to think checking my email first thing meant I was working hard. It meant I was being productive! I think most of us think this way. We have clients or coworkers or bosses who need to hear from us. Sound familiar?
You know the phrase, Ignorance is bliss - well it’s especially true when it comes to email! When I became ignorant to what was going on in my inbox - guess what happened? I actually had time to focus on my own to do list which led to productivity which led to profitability. I’m not denying the fact that, yes, it is important to check my email.

Yesterday, my assistant Emma said to me, "You're almost there!"
I said, "What do you mean?"
She responded, "I remember in January you said to me that your schedule is basically jam-packed from now until June 3rd. If you can just make it to June 3rd then you'll be good. Well, you're almost there. You have less than a month to go!"
