Wedding Update & Inspiration!


This weekend I met my florist/reception designer!
Donna from First Dance Floral Designs
She is SO great! 
Uses fresh flowers from the Amish closer to where I grew up, Southern MD.

We met up at a little place in Annapolis Downtown called Reynolds Tavern.
It was so cute - a pure doll house with tea and little tea sandwiches. 
I got a pot of the Georgia Peach Tea - so fresh!

I was feeling pretty bummed before the appointment driving there by myself, wishing Ryan was there to help go through the planning process with me. I wasn't expecting anyone to meet me there, my friends were gone for the weekend and my parents were busy. 
So I was the lonely bride lol - I'm being dramatic.

Anyways, we get there then my mom starts calling me and I answer to hear her saying, 
"where is this place?? we are here!"

I was so happy and surprised they drove up to meet with Donna and me.

We all had tea and talked about the look I was going for my reception. 
Instead of "nautical ropes" and "anchors" I am leaning towards a more romantic feel with beach glass and pearl accents.

Here are a few of my most inspiring Pins :)

My bouquet:

Handtied Style, aren't the Pearls lovely? They say 80% of all Brides choose a White and Green color palette--and this Bouquet has just 3 types of flowers in it. The Hydrangea frame the base of the bouquet and act like a pillow for the Roses and Stephanotis to sit on!

Bridesmaids bouquets: (matching their light blue dresses)

This could be cute for favors - with a little note saying thank you for sharing this day with us, or something like that
