For the Love of Flowers. { Julia's Floral Design at Bridle Oaks Barn} {Deland}

Forever… I've been in love with flowers. I feel so lucky lately 

because each time Julia brings them to the barn I get to feel, smell

and sometime photograph these little beauties that nature has given

to us as gifts. I just love looking at all the intricacies with each and every one.

The differences in texture, color and smell. They really are amazing, if you

think about it. Julia does such a wonderful job arranging them. I can't say

enough how much I appreciate her being able to create these works of art

with my brides. They all love her and even if they only get a bouquet, 

she still puts the same amount of love and attention to the creation. 

If you want flowers for any reason, Julia at Julia's Floral Designs in

Deland is the place to go. It sounds like an info-mercial… but it's not ! 

I just truly adore and appreciate what she does for our weddings and

events! 

BIG day for Bridle Oaks ! {Rustic wedding venue}

Well today was a huge day at the Bridle Oaks Barn... Our animals

came home to stay! Falcon, our horse, joined Finch, our donkey 

(hopefully his best mate), to check out their new digs and get to know

each other. They only rubbed noses today. In a few days we will 

let them be together for a little while. When Falcon realized he had 

a potential friend staying over, he got VERY excited... as you can see

in this video. He kept running back over to the fence where he 

could see Finch. Ashley and I are as excited as can be about our 

new additions! We even took a Falcon Selfie! The rain made it a bit of a 

bummer, as I would've stayed out there longer, but tomorrow is a new day 

and I'll run over first thing to see how they did. Falcon would be a great horse

for a bride to ride into her ceremony on, so if anyone is interested in that,

let me know! 

(check out this last photo, where Falcon 

is totally giving me a kiss on the forehead!)

A New Year …. A new adventure awaits! { Bridle Oaks Barn}

Hi Everybody... 

I have some exciting news to share! During the next

year, 2015, a new event venue will open in Deland, FL.

Bridle Oaks Barn, which will be situated on 5 beautiful acres in Deland

 will feature a 3500' sq ft traditional western style barn, and a second open-air barn 

suitable for a cocktail hour or a smaller gathering. Two different altar options

for brides-to-be will be available. Heavily wooded, this venue will be

very special with detailed gathering areas, ample parking and even some 

romantic little trails. A Paso-fino horse, possibly a donkey or some 

alpacas will also be on the property. The photo opportunities will be plentiful !

We are so excited to start sharing photos and other information.

But for now….

Lets work on a logo design together!

I need your help and feedback. 

Below are some logos that I've designed. Lets vote and get some feedback 

on what you like and / or don't like !  I was trying for something a little

romantic, a little elegant but with a touch of rustic. 

Thanks for reading, and subscribe for weekly updates!

Thanks!
