Rachael and Cody met at LSU in 2015 and forged a friendship that turned into a strongly connected relationship, and on March 12, 2022, these two cuties got married! What I love about this couple is all the meaningful elements they incorporated into their wedding. They had a Jewish ceremony and selected the Tree of Life Ketubah for their marriage contract. They both love the color blue, and made it a prominent part of their celebration, from bridesmaid dresses and ring boxes, to blue delphiniums and thistle mixed in their wedding flowers.

And the coolest thing to me: the day after their wedding, Rachael and Cody brought their gorgeous flowers to loved ones who couldn’t physically join them so they could be a part of the celebration even though they weren’t there. They visited retirement homes and graves and shared the love by sharing their wedding flowers.

Your wedding flowers are such a big part of your wedding! They appear in almost every photo, whether it’s the bouquets or boutonnières, floral arches, flat lays with your rings and invitations, or on the cake. They help establish the theme and color palette of your wedding - whimsical, elegant, bright, flashy, understated, garden party, etc. Wedding flowers take up a large part of your spending budget, so why let them be thrown away at the end of the day when you can share them with others?

Oh, and have your bouquet preserved in artwork! Rachael shipped her bouquet to our studio, and just look at all the incredible keepsakes we created from a single bouquet! Their keepsake collection includes the large hexagon bouquet artwork with text inlay, classic bookends, mini hexagon wedding party artwork, the small pyramid ring holders and the set of two hexagon column candle holders. Rachael said they are looking forward to decorating their new home with these keepsakes to remind them of their special day. *queue happy tears*
