“
My inspiration for t he design was t he trend of free flowing florals and
being organic. I wanted to show couples t hat you don’t always need flowers to be placed in a vessel to be beautiful and to show t hem t hat you can make a beautiful focal point anywhere in your venue of c hoice. It ’s time for ever yone to t hink and move outside of what ’s traditional and express t hemselves freely.

“Alyssa Meeks Events was my favorite and most helpful wedding vendor. We found out we had to find a new venue eight days before the wedding date; I didn’t think the wedding
Josh & Dana Fernandez
would happen. Alyssa had a list of venues the next day, assuring me that our wedding day was going to be beautiful and that nothing would prevent us from getting married. She wasn’t wrong – our wedding was perfect and better than we could have ever imagined.” CAITLIN, BRIDE
