The Inspiration
The Flowers
Florist’s inspiration: Inspired by the enduring elegance of Isabel Anderson captured in her portrait by Cecilia Beaux, our arrangement features a vivid display of lilacs-the state flower of New Hampshire where Mrs. Anderson spent happy springtimes with her family. A proud New Englander with deep roots in America, Mrs. Anderson was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution whom we are representing.
Recipe: White and Purple Lilacs with small accents.

PHOTOGRAPHED BY
Sarandon Smith Photography
Sarandon Smith is a fine artist and photographer in Maryland serving the Washington, DC, Maryland and NOVA areas. Her background includes a formal art education as well as hands on experience working under talented photographers, artists, and designers. Her first love in art was painting and that affection has carried over into her approach to photography. The same principles of design that are used when you put a brush to canvas are the principles that make a photo into a piece of art.
Sarandon's degree in fine arts gave her a framework that is an important part of how she approaches the visual aspect of her work. Using dynamic light to enhance an image, or composition to emphasize the power of an emotional moment helps create wedding galleries for her clients that are strikingly beautiful and honest at the same time.
