Courtney + Jere



Courtney + Jere said "I do" at the gorgeous Victorian Villa on a periodically stormy spring day! ;) Setting up between rain showers, it was a daisy affair! Perfect for spring, we hung a daisy garland above the gazebo altar, hand tied daisy bouquet carried by the ladies, and daisy arrangements added to the bird cages and reception decor.


















Congratulations you two! It was so great working with you and your families! We wish you all the best and appreciate you including us on your wedding day! xoxo!

Lea + Grant


We kicked off 2014 in Key West with Lea + Grant! Such an awesome couple, we'd been working with Lea for over a year planning out the details to make her day just right. :)

Wanting lots of pinks and corals, and keeping away from going "too beachy" we planned out the right mix of colorful/softness/romance/chic for her florals and decor. And then everything on the backdrop of a gorgeous February Key West day, pure beauty!

Congratulations again you two- it was such a pleasure to work with you (a big ol' thanks to our past bride Amanda for referring them! :) and be even a small part of your biggest day! xoxo!


























Florals used: coral garden roses, coral tulips, white hydrangea, coral hypericum berries, blooming quince branches, coral snap dragons, pink roses

"THANK YOU to LILY BEE'S and Heidi for making our wedding so absolutely beautiful! You were my absolute favorite vendor to work with during the many steps of wedding planning. Heidi knew exactly what my vision was and was so incredibly nice, professional and prompt, every step of the way... she even chased down the wedding party to deliver flowers on our wedding day! The compliments are still pouring in! Thank you so so much!"

A little recap...

2011.
Thank you 2011, this year brought the idea of Lily Bee's, the endless nights of hard work poured into a computer as we laid the ground work, and a huge personal undertaking as we prepped to move from NC to FL with our two littles. 2011- you were a. lot. of. work.

2012.
Now this is where Lily Bee's got going! Based in Savannah, GA, Key West, FL, and back into Charlotte, NC by the end too! We paid our dues this year, with 14 hour back to back road trips, more brides than ever expected, and even news of adding to our family of 4! 2012 showed us that Lily Bee's was looking to be more than my little side business.


2013.
2013, you were a beast! And it was awesome! With our primary base moving back to The Queen City, a full schedule still of Key West weddings, the birth of our third baby bean, and new partnerships with some amazing venues we stayed busy, busy, busy! We spent some time starting up a new venue, as well as working on some other projects that really helped teach us about ALL the aspects of the wedding industry and not just that areas that normally pertain to us. We worked with some of the sweetest couples this year, and made friendships with some amazingly talented vendors! 2013, you worked us to the max and taught us so much- you rocked!


2014.
You showed up so quickly! Not going to lie, that end of December and time in January to relax a bit, get in family time and spend a bit too much time have marathons on Netflix, was nice... and much needed. But then it was wedding time! We kicked off the year in Key West, then right back to Charlotte. We're no longer tied up in a venue day in and out (YAY!) so it is all about our Team Lily Bee's and some kick-butt goals we've got for this year! We're feeling the need to grow and expand, but I'm also feeling inadequacy and doubt in myself as we look at that next tier. We've got a handful of partnerships with so much potential, awesome brides to work with and amazing people behind the scenes that it can never feel like a J-O-B, and that's exactly how we want it! We've got more weddings on our books so far that we had in all of last year, and news to announce that will blow your socks off! We're working our tails off and remembering to keep our hearts in the right place, blessed and grateful every day! Let's go 2014! :)
