Jayson & Victoria: June 2

Jayson and Victoria are close friends of mine and asked me to do their wedding flowers. Victoria wanted to use purple and white roses with black accents. Jayson (a huge fan of fishing) had one request: that we have fish in the centerpieces. They wanted something casual and simple, but unique. This is what we came up with!




Happy Gerbs


Beverly chose a combination of these two gerbera daisy varieties for her wedding at the end of May--so happy and fun!

I heart peonies!


June 2: Rose Sachs Gardens






















Leslie is one of the most amazing brides I've worked with! She had everything pretty much planned out when we first met back in February---so I can't take any credit for her great ideas! She chose green, brown and cream as her colors and wanted a very natural, simple style. We used green hydrangea, white ranunculus and mini callas in the wooden box centerpieces. Leslie found really cute paper for the paper cones which we placed green hydrangea in and placed on the aisle and on the railings. We decorated each of the cupcakes with a single mint leaf (don't they look yummy?!). For the boutonnieres, we used millet and variegated pittosporum. The bouquets were creamy calla lilies, with the bridesmaids wrapped in aspidistra leaf.

Mandee & Roland--May 25
























Mandee and Roland were married on May 25 at the beautiful Red Moose Lodge in Eden, UT. (What a pretty drive through Ogden Canyon!)

Mandee chose green and brown as her main colors, but wanted some accents of hot pink in her flowers. She chose hydrangea, gerbera daisies, roses and freesia as her main flowers, with curly willow and spanish moss as accents. We had two different table designs---one with shorter floral designs and one with a taller arrangement. (Unfortunately I didn't get to take any pictures of those...)

For her bouquet, she wanted mainly greens and creams with accents of pink. We use cream peonies, roses, gerbera daisies and sweet pea, green hydrangea and hot pink freesia and sweet pea. We also incorporated some curly willow and tied the stems in chocolate satin. Her bridesmaids carried bouquets of hot pink gerbera daisies and sweet pea with cream freesia and scented geranium. I loved Mandee's idea to wrap the stems of all the boutonnieres and corsages in copper wire!

Sneak Preview of Meghan's Wedding...
























More to follow soon!

Stacey & Bryce, May 12














































































Stacey and Bryce tied the knot this past weekend. What a fun wedding for me! Stacey chose red, white, and black as her color scheme. We used red and white roses, white mini callas, bear grass and wheat grass as her main floral elements.

For the ceremony, we made two large pieces for the altar with curly willow and red silk blossoms. (Special thanks to Stacey's dad for making those cool black vases!) I didn't get a picture, but the front of the altar was lined with floating rose cubes, votive candles and red rose petals.

Stacey wanted a bouquet with roses and mini callas, but didn't want the "lollipop look." We varied the height of the roses and mini callas to give it a more natural look. We also included bear grass loops and spikes.

I love it when moms carry clutch bouquets instead of corsages--it's so elegant! For the mother's bouquets, we used white roses and mini callas along with bear grass loops and spikes.

Stacey's cake was amazing! We sprinkled some rose petals on each tier and surrounded the bottom layer with wheat grass, black rocks and rose petals. Her centerpieces each had one cube with either a floating rose/bear grass loops or a wheat grass/rose petal cube and a pair of floating candle votives.

The long coffee bar was decorated with sections of wheat grass that had red votive candles hidden in the grass. We surrounded the wheat grass with black rocks and red rose petals to tie in the color scheme.

Lora's Wedding at Thanksgiving Point



















Lora's wedding was this past weekend at the waterfall at the Thanksgiving Point Gardens. Her colors were lavender, hot pink and silver. For her bouquets, we used hot pink and lavender mini callas (and yes, those are their natural color!). I forgot to take pictures of the boutonnieres and corsages, but we used lavender mini callas, bear grass loops and white dendrobium orchids.

Mini callas are so great--they are elegant yet simple. Plus they do well in the heat, which is a big plus with the hot weather we've been having!

Happy Mother's Day! (a little late)

















One of the best things about my job (besides working with fabulous brides, and planning events, and being around flowers all the time, and meeting other great wedding vendors...) is being able to give flowers to the people I love!

This table bouquet included 'Vogue' roses, 'Ballet' roses (one of my favorites!), hot pink peonies and hot pink mini callas.

Sydney took her bridal pictures on Monday and we made this bouquet with cream peonies, white ranunculus, white freesia, white lisianthus, white sweet pea and hot pink sweet pea. I am so excited to see how her pictures turned out!

This coming weekend is going to be busy for us! We have 3 events scheduled at the Point, Thanksgiving Point and in downtown Salt Lake. I'll post pictures soon!

Heather & Chris in Moab
















Congratulations to Heather & Chris who were married this weekend down in Moab! (They had their friends pick their flowers up on the way down, so unfortunately, I didn't get to go...)

Heather's bouquet had a loose and natural feel and included orange 'Milva' roses, cream dahlias, cream freesia, red freesia, rust and green hypericum and seeded eucalyptus. I think my favorite part is that the stems were wrapped in raffia--just perfect for a Moab event.

We made bouquets for them to tie on the chairs for the ceremony that included 'Milva' roses, hypericum berry and seeded eucalyptus and were tied with raffia also. The boutonnieres and corsages were all freesia with lily grass loops and were accented with a raffia knot. I didn't get to see the centerpieces, but Heather & Chris have been collecting antique bottles and were putting a cluster of bottles on each table with a single stem of freesia or a dahlia in each. I can't wait to see pictures of how it turned out!
