a floral fantasy

I had always imagined my wedding day since I was a little girl, and I was bound and determined to make it everything I had ever hoped for and then some,” recalls Tiffany Wilson, who wed Ashley Falsafi this May.

The pair exchanged vows on a beautifully manicured lawn at the Firesky Resort & Spa, with the sounds of a cascading waterfall in the background. “One of the best things that made the whole event wonderful,” she recalls, “were all the beautiful flower arrangements.”

“I gave the florist a lot of flexibility with the basic concept and colors of what I wanted,” recalls Tiffany, “and it turned out better than I could have imagined.” The petal-strewn aisle was lined with pots of brightly colored flowers. Guest chairs were adorned with hand-made pink programs bearing a heart charm.

The wedding party included a special guest: the couple’s dog, Lennon. The bride explains his unique role in the festivities: “We had a little boy as a ring bearer for the beginning entrance and then when the rings were actually needed, our dog came out on cue.”

Following the ceremony, the couple celebrated in a beautifully decorated ballroom, featuring trees twinkling with pink lights, glowing candlescapes and flowers in varying shades of pink.

Guests enjoyed sweet treats throughout the evening at a decorative candy “bar,” while a photobooth provided the guests with keepsakes of the event.

“Our cake table was beautiful with painted “I DO” wording lined along the numerous petals that flowed from the cake, top to bottom,” recalls Tiffany.

The bridal bouquet toss was a surprise to the guests. When the bride made her traditional toss, the arrangement split into five different small bouquets with messages attached to each one. Since there was just one garter, that lucky guy got to dance with all five girls who caught bouquets.
