Favorite Vendor Friday: R Love Floral Designs

I’ve been pondering starting a blog series like this for literally a year and when I woke up yesterday I just decided today is the day to start! As wedding photographers we get asked about vendors all the time. Who we suggest, who we love who’s THE BEST? Well we are happy to say that we work with some of the best of the best in the area and can always confidently refer our brides knowing they’re going to be well taken care of and loved. Today our first Favorite Vendor Friday Highlight is Raquel at R Love Floral Designs!

 

We worked with Raquel the first time about 2 years ago on a little shoot I had dreamed up. I’d never met her but when she walked up carrying her creation with a Texas sized smile I instantly knew we’d be friends. We’ve since been featured on Style Me Pretty together twice, Wedding Chicks, and in Brides of North Texas magazine. She’s passionate about her designs, servant hearted for her clients and most of all a joy to be around. All these wrapped up in INSANE vision and talent makes her one you need to be sure not to pass up. I took this snippet about her and her team from their gorgeous website and have included a few images from our weddings together. Enjoy and head on over to give Raquel and the R Love team some internet love! Be on the lookout for our next wedding together next week, Jonna we can’t wait ah! 🙂

“Fourth Generation Dallas gal, Raquel comes from a long line of entrepreneurial women. Her great grandmother started Dallas Tortilla & Tamale Factory back in 1950 when few women, especially minority women, had the gumption to do so. Growing up on the shores of Lake Lewisville gave her a true love for all things natural. A country girl at heart with a passion for making all things beautiful she can design a wedding with style, professionalism, and a smile. Her background in science, and education, from the University of Texas in Austin, prepped her to envision, organize, and execute any endeavor. It doesn’t hurt that her mother is a painter and lifelong gardener who has inspired Raquel with color, texture, floral architecture and design. Raquel is an go-getter whose floral designs are unique, heartfelt and personal. Her lifelong love affair always has been with flowers. Her floral design education began in high school where she was inspired by floral and decided to study plant biology. After a degree in science from UT, Raquel began helping friends with their floral for weddings and fell in love with design all over again. In 2010 R Love Floral was born and Raquel has since traveled the country to train with the top florists in the world to hone her design eye, discover new floral varieties, experiment with texture and explore the world of wedding floral.   With over 10 years of experience in floral and events, the R Love team is dedicated to creating gorgeous, fresh, and fabulous floral designs for your wedding or event.”
