This past April, I designed florals for one of my most special weddings to date-- the wedding of my right hand lady Kellie to her husband Trae.

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, then you know how much I love and appreciate Kellie. She is the backbone of my business, and her wedding was such a special day.

I asked Kellie if she’d be willing to share a little of her story and what it’s like to be a Zimmerman bride. No one else knows the business from both sides like Kellie! Thankfully, she agreed. Keep reading to hear Kellie’s real wedding story.

Arkansas Barn Wedding

I had the incredible opportunity of working with Ashton for 11 months leading up to her wedding. She and Drew met each other in fifth grade and we had the best time planning every little detail of their wedding day. Ashton was a dream bride to work with because she really trusted me to create something unique and beautiful for her and Drew.

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens Bridal Portraits

We love the opportunity to travel with our clients. One of our brides wanted her bridal portraits to stand out from the normal environments that she was used to seeing with other brides. After brainstorming with photographer, Heather Payne, we came to the conclusion of Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. The mix of Spanish settings and European architecture paired with the peach and golden toned floral provided for an unforgettable afternoon in such a stunning space.

Southern Spring Wedding

This was a special wedding for us, not only because we fell in love with the bride, her family, and her fiancé, but we also were the first ones to produce a wedding in their brand new, gorgeous venue. The truth is, there aren’t just a ton of great venue options in Conway, AR, but my clients didn’t let that stop them. They took matters into their own hands and built a gorgeous space. (Legacy Acres is now available to rent!) I’ve never designed a wedding based off a stack of blue prints before, but I was up for the challenge. Thankfully, visualizing a space has always come easily to me. Bailey, the bride wanted an all white wedding, but she had already chosen blue bridesmaid dresses. While we kept the ceremony all white, I’m thankful she trusted me and allowed us to add a touch of color to the reception to really tie everything together and reflect the spring season. The southern, yet clean space was the perfect backdrop for a truly beautiful wedding.

Mountain Elopement

I love when clients come to me with a few ideas, but want me to take over the overall vision. That is exactly what happened with Madison and Grant's elopement. Surprisingly, the groom's sister inquired with us to do the floral for her brother's wedding, and asked for us to bring together the entire vision. I gladly accepted, especially because they had already booked an amazing photographer, too - Erin Wilson.

Mountain-side Spring Bridal Portraits

One of my favorite things to do is making a bouquet specifically for a photographer. It is so wonderful getting complete freedom when it comes to making floral, and the photographers always love the fun color palettes and varieties of texture filling the bouquet. BJ Matthews shot all of these beautiful images here in the natural state of Arkansas.

North Arkansas Spring Wedding

We love a wedding full of natural beauty inspired by earthy colors pulled from a variety of blooms and textures. Our bride, Alexandria, and her mother came to us looking to wow their guests while still making a beautiful event. We filled Alexandria's wedding full of greenery, mauve floral, touches of golden roses, potted plated lining the ceremony aisles, and spirea, a greenery textured with small white flowers topping the ceremony arch. We also provided all of her paper goods, which were a light ...

Greenery Filled Fall Wedding

We love a bride who loves greenery! Of course we love all of our brides, and all of the beautiful flowers they envision for their weddings; but our bride Jaime wanted all of the greenery for her wedding, and it was absolutely stunning! Her birchwood arch anchored the ceremony, and looked like it came out of the surrounding trees with it's natural beauty. The reception was a gorgeous sea of pale blue linens, topped with eucalyptus arrangements, surrounding the central bridal cake table, which was adorned with ...
