I was so lucky to work with this talented team for an amazing styled photoshoot at Rivercrest Farm in Dover, Ohio. Planned and organized by Ashley Anderson of Ash&Oak Planning, I hope you enjoy this video by NB Photography. The shoot featured our model Katherine making her entrance on the grand staircase in the Rivercrest barn. She then joined her “groom”, Russ, at the romantic sweetheart table styled with soft fabric, greenery, and flowers in retro glass bottles. Then on to

At Garden by the Gate, color is one of the most important aspects of your floral designs. We are happy to help you refine your color scheme to communicate exactly the right ambiance for your celebration. To get started with planning your perfect wedding, tell us a little about your dream wedding day using our We

Everyone had a blast at this May 2018 outdoor wedding at Sable Creek Golf Course in Hartville, near Canton & Akron, Ohio. Can you tell it rained all day and all night? Well, it stopped raining just long enough for the wedding ceremony and for Livigni Photography to grab these great shots of all the fun. No one’s spirits were dampened by the rain; joy, love, and faith were evident throughout the festivities. The wedding feel was romantic, elegant, and fresh with a blush, white

We all want a good deal. That’s why we search for cheap airline tickets and end up on the Cheapo Airlines site (I’m not making that up!). But all the tickets put you on the same flight, so what’s the difference? On my last flight, I paid extra to get a seat in the middle of the plane, on the aisle. I got bumped to a different flight and guess what? Last row. Against the window. Right in front of the bathroom. Yep, not the same at all. But I still got to Chicago on time. Flowe

What would be better on a freezing February day than to look back at one of my favorite summer weddings from 2017? Let’s go back to a warm June day at the Barn on Enchanted Acres through the photos by Liza Kirk Photography. The Barn on Enchanted Acres is such an awesome wedding venue and we loved bringing it to life with abundant blush and white wedding flowers. Beautiful bride Brooke and her family were fantastic to work with and had tons of ideas for the flowers and other d

When Jennie and Paul first became engaged, they planned to be married on the family farm with tons of rustic touches. As it became apparent that preparing the farm for a wedding was too daunting a task, the couple chose to move the festivities to Firestone Country Club, where they are members. The world renowned club has been home to many high profile events like the Bridgestone Invitational, part of the World Golf Championships. Portraits of the many celebrities who have vis

It’s truly a pleasure for us to work with a bride and her family who LOVE flowers! It is particularly poignant that their love of flowers was fostered and shared by a loving husband and father. In his memory, the bride carried a single tiny sunflower, his favorite, in her bouquet. Carissa chose an awesome ombré color scheme that ran from palest blush to coral to rich cherry pink. Getting the colors right might have been a challenge but Karen, our representative at Mayesh Cle

Home-grown Dahlias Dazzle Water’s Edge Vineyard, in Louisville Ohio, is a gorgeous venue that has it all. From the charming gazebo where the ceremony was held, to cocktails on the pergola-covered deck, to dinner and dancing in the “glamorous barn,” a colorful mix of home-grown flowers was used to create a vintage feel with a bit of glam. Mercury glass and antique silver provided the shine while dahlias and zinnias amped up the vibrancy. In addition to the dahlias and other f

It was a heavenly day for a hilltop wedding at Rivercrest Farm near Dover, Ohio. Sweet bride Nicole planned a lovely rustic wedding with the help of the One Fine Day folks at Rivercrest and the Garden by the Gate was thrilled to provide the home-grown flowers for bouquets, centerpieces, and ceremony decor. Nicole’s bridesmaids wore lovely chiffon dresses in various pastel shades, so we made the bouquets mostly white with a few touches of color. Nicole’s bouquet incorporated a
