Here are some fun gift ideas for Valentine's Day :) Hope you like this video!

Anniversary Bouquet

James surprised me with this gorgeous bouquet for our anniversary. It is extra special because it has all the flowers that I picked for my wedding bouquet. I am so impressed that he remembered their names! The flowers are breathtakingly beautiful and they smell so wonderful. I have the best husband ever ♥

The peonies bloomed more the next day :)

Wedding Flowers

Today I want to share pictures of the amazing flowers that Dana did for our wedding. You've seen glimpses of it here and there but they were so beautiful and deserve their own close-ups. I can't thank Dana enough for her wonderful work. Everything was so gorgeous!

I love how rich and vibrant the colors of my traditional dress and bouquet are in this picture :) Picking the flowers for my bouquet was very easy. I love peonies, garden roses, spray roses, and cymbidium orchids so they were a must. Dana also added white hydrangeas to make it look nice and full. As for the boutonnieres, I wanted them to be small and simple to have a clean and elegant look. James' boutonniere had a mini blush pink cymbidium orchid and two pink spray roses. Dana added a nice touch to each of the boutonnieres with ribbons, pearl pins, and small greeneries.

My sister's Maid of Honor's bouquet was lovely as well. I love the soft romantic colors. Her bouquet had mini white cymbidium orchids, pink spray roses, cream roses, pink lisianthus, and white hydrangeas. It would make a beautiful bridal bouquet too if you like lighter color flowers. 

Our pretty centerpieces (pictured right & below) had cream roses, pink roses, and pink spray roses. I kept them really simple because I know they will not stay on the table for too long. We had a traditional 10-course banquet (not including desserts!) and the centerpieces are removed at the start of the reception to make room for the food :)

I really love our wedding flowers and I hope you enjoyed these photos! ♥

Special Delivery

I matched with the bouquet I bought for my mom (totally coincidental btw) :) Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day. Thanks to my sis for taking this lovely photo for me!

I picked rich vibrant colors for my mom :)

These beautiful flowers were from Bumble Bee Landing. I wish Dana's shop is closer to where I live so that can buy pretty flowers from her all the time! I'm so lucky that she's doing our wedding flowers. I can't wait to see my bouquet!

Bright happy colors for James' mom

Bumble Bee Landing

I want to introduce you to Bumble Bee Landing today. My sister's friend, Dana, is a talented florist who creates beautiful wedding bouquets and arrangements. She recently opened a shop in Cohasset, MA and I had the chance to visit her last week. Her flower shop is so charming. Dana loves what she does and it really shows through her work. She's the perfect person to contact when you need flowers for any event. Check out her photo gallery for some inspirations :)

Here are the pictures from my visit:
