COASTAL NUPTIALS AT THE BELLE MER IN NEWPORT, RI | LISA & CARL
I'd like to take credit where credit is due for this union folks. Just kidding! Butttttt I like to think that I had something to do with it! 🤭 It must have been the flowers that connected these two because Carl used to buy a bouquet of flowers from me for his girlfriend Lisa every weekend.
You always knew when Carl walked into the room; bright-eyed and bushy-tailed with a big 'ole smile on his face! Carl had an awesome sense of humor and he’s still a riot to this day! He would say, "Come onnnn Loreta, hook me up! Make me a beautiful bouquet!" and I would joke around and say, "What do you mean make you a beautiful bouquet? I DO make beautiful bouquets!" I met Carl at Village Market where we both used to work. I was the florist and he was a cashier and we became friends. It was no surprise to me when he asked me to flower his wedding years later and I was honored. But I knew that I couldn’t just make any ordinary bouquet—I needed to make THE bouquet. The bouquet of Lisa’s dreams! Congratulations Lisa and Carl! Wishing you both love and happiness on this special occasion!
specialty flowers and fillers that were utilized in these wedding arrangements were white stock, lisianthus, white scabiosa, pots white button mum, purity rose, white trachelium, butterfly ranunculus, baby's breath, white roses, russian olive branches, mini carnations, white delphinium, white limonium, white privet berry, and garden roses
