Greetings!

Spring is on our doorstep which means endless color options to brighten your wedding day!  From pastels to deep purples to hot pinks... you can find a color palette to compliment your look. Seasonal flowers are always your best bet. Not only will your florist thank you, so will your pocket book. Dying to carry a bouquet filled with luscious peonies and ranunculus down the aisle? You will want to opt for a Spring wedding!  Although there are beautiful floral options for whichever season you pick, Spring is blooming with possibilities!  
 
Sincerely,
 
The Staff at Stevenson Ridge
 
Stevenson Ridge News
Recently, we had our first outdoor ceremony of 2013! The weather was gorgeous and the surroundings are starting to change as spring is near. In the fall of 2012, we saw more requests for the curved "encircling" ceremony setup. Although it's not your traditional straight row look, it creates a more intimate feel because your guests are closer to the bride and groom. Photographers love this setup as it's great for photos! Contact a Stevenson Ridge coordinator to discuss this option for your wedding day. 

 

We are excited to announce that we have added Occasions by M&K to our preferred vendors list. These creative and hardworking event coordinators help brides make their dream come true. Occasions by M&K offer full service wedding planning to day-of coordination. Make sure to check out Michelle and her ladies in red.
