Bridal bouquets

Roses, daisies, and hydrangeas seem to be favorites for many brides bouquets. Some other popular picks are carnations, chrysanthemum, and baby’s breath, which often give it a finishing touch. The hydrangeas (1st pic. on right) were dusted with a soft pink paint, also the baby’s breath (2nd pic. on left) was sprayed to turquoise. So if your roses look to yellow, just give the a light spray of white paint!bb 1bb 2

The University of the South

This University is located atop the Cumberland Plateau between Nashville and Chattanooga, in Sewanee, Tennessee. “Sewanee’s physical environment, which includes the 13,000–acre Domain (as the campus and surrounding area is known), provides a remarkable academic and recreational resource, and an unparalleled place in which to study and reflect.” It also makes for a spectacular location for wedding photos. I will be posting some other attractions of this 13,000 acre domain!   S & S 1047 uofs S & S 1054 uofs 2  The large campus chapel…S & S 1059 uofs 4 S & S 1078 uofs1  Someone was playing the organ. 😉S & S 1079 S & S 1103 uofs 5 S & S 1053 uofs 6
