It was a beautiful Friday in June and just a lovely day for a wedding. Vivian and I arrived at the same time as the wedding party, and they were buzzing with excitement.

Valery’s purple wedding bouquet of callas was just amazing. It perfectly popped against her white dress and the decor at Stonegate!

The bridesmaid’s bouquets were comprised of the same deep purple callas, with the additional of a lighter purple rose and white sweet pea. They smelled divine.
