arboretum wedding, part I
bride calls. not sure about wedding flowers. not very excited either. enter BranchingOut. meeting with bride. bride gets excited. bride says, “i trust you.” and I get excited, too!
Katie Kowalski was a dream bride. i could tell she had great style from the moment she sent me links to her dress and shoes. any bride willing to pull off a short, flirty wedding dress has to be fun. she just needed some help in the event design department.
after looking at pictures, Katie found that she liked very casual table settings. her one request, keep it simple and unfussy. and when she told me the caterer was serving Cajun food, my idea wheels started turning. i came up with a “Couture French Country meets Casual New Orleans” decor theme. lots of ferns, linen, cast iron urns and lots of vintage bottles.
on the big day, the flowers and decor got Katie’s approval immediately. and at the end of the evening, her dear Mom gave me the nicest complement ever. “Debby, this is just gorgeous! All of our friends and family have been telling us how incredible this wedding is all night. One friend even said, ‘I’ve been to hundreds of weddings and this is by far the most beautiful one I have ever seen.’ ”
and i thanked them both for being dreamy clients and trusting my vision!
congratulations Katie and Derek!

I was so excited to see our wedding coverage on your blog! I cannot tell you enough how much I LOVED everything you did for our big day. I made a point to take in all the small details, and you couldn’t have nailed the look I was going for any better. You (and your impressive team!) are incredibly talented and helped make our wedding absolutely beautiful. More when I get back from Maui! You are the best, Debby
