Nina and Brian - September 2nd, 2009

Nina was one of those brides who knows what they want. When we met, she told me all she wanted was roses. When I hear this from a bride, I always have to inquire whether she really loves roses or if she is just unfamiliar with other types of flowers. The case with Nina was that she loved roses. She wanted very simple and classic. Her colors were clover green, black and ivory. She was toying around with adding an accent color into the mix and eventually decided on coral. I thought this would be a great combo and really liven up the flowers - since there's not much you can do with clover green.

The wedding took place on the grounds of the beautiful Abernethy Center in Oregon City and was photographed by IDM Photos. It was a gorgeous day for a wedding and Nina was serene as could be - even when there was a little mishap with some of the rose petals not being quite the right shade of coral (which, unfortunately, was completely out of my control).

Thank you for letting me be a part of your day, Nina and Brian! I wish you all the best.
