Photography | EpagaFOTO

I just came across this super fun/sophisticated/flirty/wild wedding from EpagaFOTO - I love the vibrant colors!   Jessica Roark (principle photographer of EpagaFOTO, Bliss List member) shot this wedding... she does an amazing job of really capturing all of the details, moments and emotions- don't you think?!  

Her bouquet is so much fun - lime green and white orchids and funky peacock feathers.

The bridesmaids chose from two colors - love the non-monochromatic look!

More bright fun details at the reception.

What a sweet couple!

DIY | Bridal Bouquet | Hydrangeas, Garden Roses & Freesia

Creating a bouquet can be so much fun.  It is one of my favorite things to do for a DIY wedding.  

Bouquet 101 : Keep it simple

*Use only 2-3 types of flowers

*Use only 1-3 shades of colors

*Use a variety of shapes, sizes and textures

5 White Hydrangeas, 10 stems of Yellow Freesia, and 10 Pale Yellow Garden Roses

I added Dusty Miller around the "collar" of the bouquet to give it some softness.

Done!

Real KC Wedding | Country Chic

Remember this "Country Chic" design board?  Well, the wedding was last weekend (hence my blogging absence - sorry!).  It was so beautiful - the weather cooperated perfectly.  I only have this one shot so far (that I took), but I will be getting more images from Epaga Foto soon!

The tables were set on the lawn and dressed in a pale yellow and cream burlap.

I made the bridal bouqet - white hydrangeas, yellow freesia, and pale yellow garden roses.  Stay tuned for the step-by-step DIY.
