If you want an old-world wedding style without leaving the country, there’s nothing better than Castle Ladyhawke in North Carolina. It feels like yesterday that this incredible photoshoot was featured in Wedding Sparrow. Between the earthy influence of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the features stonework, and antique, artisan elegance, these images feel as timeless today as they did when they were taken. Want to join me on a scroll down memory lane?
Read MoreOne 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.
Read MoreToday, we’re looking back at when I designed florals for one of our 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. It was also a tiny and intimate wedding— before those were the go-to! Kellie is an OG micro-wedding bride! I also thought it’d be fun to give a little inside scoop into 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.

Read MoreIt’s the year of small weddings, and I can’t think of anything better than an oceanside Nancy Meyers inspired elopement. You all have been loving my Nancy Meyers home blog from a few weeks ago, and it got me thinking… What would a Nancy Meyers inspired elopement look like?
Read MoreI’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!
Read MoreIn 2014, when I totally transformed my tired wedding rentals business into the floral design and wedding planning studio that got me named Top Wedding Planner in the South by Southern Living Magazine, I had no images that would attract the kind of clients I wanted to be working with. I’d done a lot of what I call “roundy-moundy” arrangements with five white Hydrangea and three sprigs of Salal. Not exactly the floral art I wanted to create. That’s why, when it came time to rebrand and create a new website and floral portfolio, I knew I needed some updated images to reflect my new direction. You’ve gotta share the work you want to create, right?

Read MoreYou might recognize this wedding from Martha Stewart Weddings. It was featured there earlier this year.
This was one of my favorite weddings to date. I flew out a bunch of Bloomers (people who have taken my course The Business Behind the Blooms) to help me with the setup.
The venue was overflowing with the most beautiful floral elements you could imagine. This arch installation, a staircase installation, low centerpieces, high centerpieces, soft seating arrangements and more.
Read MoreI got to sit down with Mary Baird-Wilcock on her show, The Simplifiers Podcast.
As a former wedding planner herself, Mary was the perfect person to ask me about how to simplify the process of starting a floral design business.
Mary and I talk all about the one simple question you need to ask yourself as you’re starting your floral business, streamlining processes, hiring teams, pricing for setup and delivery, and so much more!
Read MoreEveryone loves a good neutral and greenery bouquet, but when photographer Kati Mallory asks you to complete her flower power vision for a bright and summery southern elopement, you make it happen!
Nothing screams summer like some bright, punchy blooms! It’s like sangria in flower form.
Read MoreIn the past few years, I’ve loved seeing couples include their dogs in wedding celebrations. But, if there’s anything better than a dog wearing a floral collar, it’s a horse wearing a floral collar!
Sometimes, bride’s best friend is a different four-legged beast! We love how this bride honored her beautiful steed by including her horse in her bridal portraits.
