Last month I did the flowers for an absolutely wonderful couple. They are my sister's in-laws, which practically makes them second family. I had such a great time working with the bride, Amy. We started discussing her wedding details back in the spring. From then on we bounced ideas back and forth to create a beautiful setting.
The ceremony and reception were held at Mrs. Murphy and Sons Irish Bistro in the NorthCenter neighborhood of Chicago. It is a large space, full of warm colors and beautiful wood work. The location's decor worked great for the fall theme that Amy was going for.
An autumn color pallet of oranges, reds and truffle browns was used. I also incorporated pumpkins and small gourds to add even more fall spirit into the room. The bride's love of candle light worked perfectly to enhance the overall look of the darker decorated room. Ball jars with floating candles and tea lights were used in abundance.

| One of my favorite things to make for weddings are hair pieces. It's always a great way to tie the wedding colors in with the bride. |

Our wedding was beautiful! Honestly, I was speechless when I saw what Lori had created. The creativity of our flowers and centerpieces still has people talking. Lori was amazing to work with and took the "feel" I was wanting to a whole different level. It was romantic and gave off a very warm and intimate feel. It was perfect. Thank you, Lori! - Amy and Oakley
