Amanda and Blaine Teasers

This past weekend Amanda and Blaine tied the knot at the Bali Hai on Shelter Island and I was honored to be one of many fabulous vendors that made the day so special for them.  Melissa McClure captured these beautiful pictures and I just couldn't wait to share.

Helena of Divine Events by Helena was the coordinator, Bethel of Ceremonies by Bethel was the officiant and Audra Rene Studio did the brides beautiful hair.

Q & A session with Divine Events

The wonderful Helena Parker of Divine Events featured a Q&A with me on her blog earlier this week.

Here is a tid bit of the post but to see the entire thing you'll have to visit her here...
"Sally is the owner and lead designer at Exqusite Blooms. Here is a little Q&A I did with her.

What attracted you to the floral business?  Since I was a little girl, I have just always loved flowers.  I can remember my mom buying me a little book of flower meanings and thinking that “when I grow up, I am going to make people bouquets of flowers that have these hidden messages through the flowers”.  Flowers have always been a part of me and made me happy so in a way, I feel like being a florist was what I was always meant to be.

What is your favorite part of doing wedding flowers?  Good question and so many answers come to mind but I think that my very favorite part of doing wedding flowers is the moment I hand a bride her bouquet.  I try to make it a point, if possible, to personally deliver the bridal bouquet to all my brides.  I love that moment when I hand it to her and she is standing there looking beautiful on her wedding day in her gorgeous dress, the bouquet just adds that final “bridal” touch and it such a special moment to be a part of.  Sometimes I get teary eyed and have to turn around for fear of looking like a big dork."
I had such a fun time answering these questions and I hope to continue to work with Helena for a long time!

NeCole and Jahrod had a Labor Day Weekend Wedding...

This couple is extra special to me because through the course of wedding planning we discovered a few things...

• I went to elementary school with the groom,
• my cousin went to high school with the groom 
• one of my closest friends from junior high and high school who lived across the street from me went to college with the bride (i think they were even room mates). 

Talk about a SMALL WORLD!!!

Congrats NeCole and Jahrod, I wish you two a long and happy life together!!!

Thank you Melissa McClure Photography for sharing your wonderful pictures and thank you Helena Parker of Divine Events by Helena for such a smooth event!
