Susanna and Josiah- January 23, 2010

Susanna and Josiah could not have asked for a more beautiful January day than that of their wedding day. It was one of the warmest days of the month with a perfect breeze.

While we have been involved in the weddings of literally hundreds of men and women making lifetime commitments to one another, we rarely have the opportunity to see the union and hear the words of love expressed during the ceremony. Baring witness to a couples nuptials allows you a glimpse at the love shared between the couple as you are able to hear and see the expressions of love. The thing is that we didn't need to sit in the pews at Scarritt-Bennett during the wedding ceremony of Susanna and Josiah...their love for one another exuded from them. Everything was beautifully captured by Derek Lee Photography.

The couple was surrounded by family and friends who actively took part in their special day. The bride had three bridesmaids stand with her as she married the love of her life. And, she looked stunning while she exchanged her vows. She carried a bouquet of ranunculus, anemones, waxflower, Peruvian lilies, plum carnations, fiji pom poms, and white hydrangeas.

Following the ceremony, the couple celebrated the union at a reception held at Houston Station. They enjoyed a heavenly cake created by Wedding Cake Designs and danced the night away.

It truly was our pleasure to be a part of Susanna and Josiah's special day. We wish them nothing but the best in their future together!

Sara and Ben- October 10, 2009

Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year to get married. The weather, especially in Tennessee, is mild and quite often perfect. The variety of color in nature is phenomenal and sets an extraordinary backdrop for photographs and memories. And the flowers, breathtaking.

The beauty of the fall truly set the stage for the union of an amazing couple, Sara and Ben. Married on a crisp fall day in October, you couldn't have asked for more.

Sara and Ben chose the historic Carnton Plantation as the site for both the ceremony and reception of their wedding. We really can not say enough good things about this venue. Beautiful in and of itself, we highlighted the season by placing fall mums and pumpkins at the entrance. Sara chose a beautiful combination of fall flowers for her bridesmaids to carry: vibrant sunflowers, deep purple mums, hypericum berries, antique white hydrangeas, and mango calla lilies.

The two were married in a picturesque ceremony, officiated by nondenominational minister Ralph Griggs, under the shade of the huge tree outside of the Carnton Plantation as beautiful guitar music was played by Rob Higginbotham.

Following the ceremony, the happy couple and their guests celebrated at a reception with food catered by Red Pony in downtown Franklin and a wedding cupcake tower by Wedding Cake Design by Rebecca. In addition to floral designs by Belles Fleurs, the ambiance was created by awesome lighting from Nashville Event Lighting.

It really was a joy to be able to work with Sara and Ben, a couple very much in love. We wish them nothing but the best and thank them for allowing us to be a part of their day!

Sarah and Ben- November 7, 2009

We put our whole heart into each wedding we do, but there are some weddings that go beyond. It is when we know the bride or groom that makes creating for the wedding that much more special. We give our heart and soul to see to it that everything is just perfect. This was definitely the case with Sarah and Ben's wedding back in November.


Ben holds a special place in our heart, as he was the web designer for the Belles Fleurs site and we couldn't be more grateful for the amazing work he did. Additionally, Bonnie Colleen, our Design Coordinator, is a family friend of Ben's and has known him for years. Of Ben she said, "We've watched Ben grow into a wonderful man. He is talented, charming, and witty and it was our honor when he introduced us to his college sweetheart, Sarah."

Seeing these two together, you just know they were made for one another. They compliment one another in the perfect way and truly radiate happiness. Yep, we think they are a pretty awesome couple.

So, on a beautiful November day Sarah and Ben exchanged vows at the Riverview Courtyard in Nashville. This venue is absolutely breathtaking. It is chic and has stunning views of the river and downtown.

Complimenting the surroundings, Sarah and Ben chose a sophisticated color palette of blush pink and graphite grey which was stunning with ivory calla lilies and dendrobium orchids that had a natural blush pink to the centers.

Beautiful on any given day, Sarah was absolutely stunning on her wedding day. Her hair and makeup (as well as the hair and make up of the brides maids) was done by the uber cool Pink Mullet Salon.

Following the ceremony, the happy couple and all of their guests celebrated at Cellar One. If you haven't yet seen this place, check it out. It is an amazingly unique space that is just perfect for a reception.
It really the perfect day for this awesome couple to entering into marriage. They will have memories for a lifetime of the day...especially with the help of the talented Gavin Saha Photography.

We are so overwhelmingly happy for Sarah and Ben and wish them nothing but the best of luck in their life together. Thank for letting us be a part of your day!

Tiffany and Ed- October 24, 2009

Fall may just be our favorite time of year. The weather is amazing. The colors are so beautiful. And, it is the perfect time for weddings!

Tiffany and Ed found love through E-Harmony and were an instant match. They chose to celebrate their new life together last month at a beautiful ceremony. Friends and family gathered as the two exchanged vows at Brentwood United Methodist Church on a perfect October day.

The events of the day were captured by Mahalo Photography and 2Duce2 Videography. As always, it was an absolute blast to work with Michael and Michelle from Mahalo Photography.

Tiffany chose a beautiful combination of marine blue, purple, lavender, and white for her wedding. It translated stunningly in all details of the day. The bridal party wore marine blue gowns and carried bouquets with lavender, blue, and purple flowers.


Tiffany carried a gorgeous bouquet of hydrangeas, lavender gladiola blossoms, moon carnations, hypericum berries, stock, larkspur, calla lilies, delphinium, roses, freesia, agapanthus, and limonium.

In a reception immediately following the ceremony, Tiffany, Ed, and guests celebrated at the Old Natchez Country Club. It is an awesome venue for a wedding reception with breath taking views. We love this picture of their cake by Dulce Desserts set against the backdrop of the country club grounds. It almost doesn't look real!



We had such a good time with this wedding and are thankful Tiffany and Ed allowed us to be a part of their day!

Camy and Cliff- July 18, 2009

What a fun wedding! It is our absolute favorite thing when a bride isn't afraid to use a little color and play with her flower selection. Camy was a blast to work with because she was so open to being creative and the results were amazing.

Camy and Cliff were married at Brentwood Country Club, which was also the location of the reception. The colors were ivory and black, yet the bride asked for lots of color in the bouquets with beautiful pinks, purples, greens, blues, etc. The bridesmaids carried bouquets with orange snapdragons, purple lisianthus, hot pink gerbera daisies, yellow Peruvian lilies, Kermit button pompoms, bupleurum, and lavender dahlias. Camy's bouquet had white dahlias, white stock, white Asiatic lilies, gloriosa lilies, purple lisianthus, orange freesia, ivory hydrangea, and Kermit button pompoms.

The yummy looking cake was decorated with pink, red, and orange gerbera daisies. Very simple, yet still beautiful.


It was our honor to be a part of this wedding. Congratulations, Camy and Cliff! Best of wishes!

Michelle and Michael- June 13, 2009

There is nothing more exciting than getting to do wedding flowers for one of your favorite couples. We have worked with Michelle and Michael on several weddings as they are the owners of Lamberth Photography (now Mahalo Photography). Being able to see them in front of the lens and prepare for their special day was so exciting. The couple was photographed by Dara Harris of Dara Harris Photography and the results were absolutely stunning.

The couple exchanged vows in a beautiful outdoor ceremony. They could not have asked for a more perfect summer day. It was definitely summer in Tennessee (very hot) and very beautiful.

Michelle carried a bouquet of blue,violet, and white hydrangeas, lisianthus, and green cymbidium orchids. It was a replica of one that Michelle found on theknot.com and fell in love with. The results were pretty amazing...it looked so similar and we were happy to give Michelle her dream bouquet.

After celebrating their union, the couple took off to honeymoon in Hawaii. It was true paradise for this photography couple and even inspired the name for their new company, Mahalo Photography.

We wish them a lifetime of happiness and can't wait to work with them again!

Rachel and Eli- April 18, 2009

It was clear after our first meeting with Rachel that this was going to be a fun wedding to be a part of. Rachel is absolutely the coolest girl with a very artistic sense, so the we knew the wedding would be nothing less than a blast.

Married at the Cool Springs House in Brentwood, Tennessee the wedding and reception took on a picnic style theme on the perfect spring day. There were handmade quilts everywhere and guests enjoyed fresh squeezed lemonade and chicken salad sandwiches from Merridee's (our favorite place in Franklin). Plus, there was an adorable cupcake tower from none other than Curious Gourmet Cupcake Cafe.

Rachel carried a beautifully unique bouquet that complimented the purple and green theme. It included white and green hydrangeas, green hypericum berries, purple moon carnations, purple anemones, and purple and white lisianthus.

It definitely was a fun wedding to be a part of and we wish Rachel and Eli nothing but the best!

Crystal and William- October 18, 2008

Our first out of two weddings on the beautiful October afternoon could not have been more perfect.



Although they grew up in what would seem like polar opposite environments, with Crystal being from Canada and William being from California, they joined together in perfect harmony. Crystal looked absolutely stunning and carried a bouquet of Black Magic and Orange Unique roses.

During both the ceremony and the reception, Crystal's violin and fiddle students from Vanderbilt University serenaded guests. It truly was an event overflowing with love and happiness, where everyone close to the couple was involved- including their dog, Mandy, who greeted guests with an array of flowers adorning her collar.

Meeting Crystal just one month before her ceremony at the Love is in the Air Bridal Fair at the Cool Springs Galleria was a blessing for both of her and Belles Fleurs. We all were able to relish in the beauty of the day, the flowers, and the love.
