First Comes Love...Then Comes Planning!
Bride to be Ann Marie Hicks contacted E-Trender Angela Butorac to coordinate and start planning the details about a year in a half before her July 2011 Royal Park Hotel wedding to Samer Jaber.

The theme would have a romantic vintage garden feel..and even better, the bride wanted to incorporate a lot of DIY elements into the decor!

We enlisted the creative floral talent of Erica Piquant with Eco-Posh Events to design Ann Marie's bridal bouquet and the personal flowers for the bridal party and relatives. The roses in Ann Marie's bouquet (pictured above) represent the color story for her and Samer's wedding...peach, ivory, soft pinks, and pale yellows.
The bride's sisters Angela and Amanda beautifully hand crafted centerpieces and accent arrangements around the ballroom with fresh flowers supplied by Erica with Eco-Posh Events. The wedding was filled with beautiful vintage tea cups and vases. Ann Marie and her mom Pat collected thrifty treasures in the months before the wedding that perfectly fit the theme.

Guests were greeted by a beautifully decorated credenza filled with garden florals, and a frame filled with vintage postcards!
Remember Ann Marie & Samer's guest sign in book...a coffee table book filled with pages of garden florals? We featured this on a previous EventTrender post called Love Notes to the Bride and Groom and think it is an idea worth sharing again...
