Spring Tropics

This was a small event I had a few weeks ago and the only information besides which items were needed was that they were going with navy linens and the event would be outdoors and they don't want pastels so I came up with these and had so much fun with the colors!

Sabrina and Todd - The Colors of Yosemite

A new computer has been long over due and having a genius for a friend to help build one to customize all of my needs is the coolest thing for me! I added a 27" LED monitor to the mix and magic is happening right in front of my eyes.
With all of the files to transfer, I get carried away on past events.
Sabrina and Todd got married in June of 2007, long before I became a "blogger." They planned their wedding from Georgia and everything was handled via email and phone. Through emailing photos of my work, taken by the ever so lovely and talented, Becky Spencer, they decided to hire her and she sent me some amazing images I have never got to feature.
The bold and deep reds and oranges with touches of yellows are perfect for the summer and fall months in Yosemite. They POP from all of the deep evergreen and granite backdrops.
The style of the flowers and arrangements are what I've always referred to as rustic elegance. They represent the classic styles with roses and have a little rustic whith choices like the wild honeysuckle.

A little bit country...A little bit wedding glam

Breanne and Roy created such a customized wedding that fit their style perfectly. Breanne is a horse trainer and Roy raises cattle. They live on a hill about the ceremony site over looking hundreds of acres of their property out in the golden rolling hills of Snelling. They had a huge pole barn where Breanne envisioned the reception. When we first walked the property she was showing me the area of the reception which was still full of hay and there was the coolest old rustic wagons that were perfect to tie into their style. Her colors were black and white and she asked for all bright, spring florals and that is exactly what we designed!
The personal details that they featured at the wedding was a mashed potato bar, cigar bar and signature martinis to greet the guests!

Best of 2010 Events

I popped up this morning thinking WOW...where has the time gone for another year to come to a close. So in honor of a first successful year here at Natalie Galasso Designs, I thought I would whip together a series of some of my favorite events. Thank you for all of the creative freedom you have all given me. I'm so honored and excited to conquer yet another full wedding season! Happy New Year!
