Jackie & Flint called us just a few weeks before their wedding day with a vision of tropical flowers and colors in the middle of winter.... umm OK! Seriously I like the cold, but just a day pretending that it's a balmy 75 and sunny sounded like heaven after this crazy winter!

And wow, did their floral artist Joan Prange deliver! How did she even find these out of season tropical blossoms on such short notice? Not only that but the skies and gardens felt willing to comply... everything was green, blooming and filled with sunshine. It was a perfect tropical wedding in the middle of winter... the perfect collaboration of nature, love and serendipity.

Then add Jackie, meeting Flint for the first time in her svelte gown, their families nearby, his sweet little tow-headed boys running around, it was a charming day.

Thank you so much for letting us save it in time for you!
