Happy Easter! (yesterday)

Flashback: Moab Wedding

I just remembered I had these amazing photos from Heather & Chris's Moab wedding last year! Thank you to Holly Reed from Reed Photographic for these images!

I love the flowers that Heather chose--cream and orange dahlias, red/orange and gold freesia, rust hypericum berries and seeded eucalyptus. The colors are just perfect for the red rock backdrop.

I also LOVED Heather's brilliant idea to use collections of vintage bottles with a single stem in each for the centerpieces. The combination of green/aqua and the cream/gold/red/orange is just perfect for their location. Simple but stunning!

Blue Christmas

Merry Christmas (about 2 months late!). This past November, I was hired to help decorate a new house with new Christmas decorations. The clients wanted to go with teals, blues, silver and white for the colors instead of the traditional green and red.

My favorite part, besides the tree, was the mantle! I wrapped vases in white birch bark and filled them with several different types of winter greens (juniper, cedar, noble fur etc.). Also on the mantle were several other vases of flowers--calla lilies and amaryllis as well as a collection of blue, teal and silver ornaments.

I absolutely LOVE a blue and silver Christmas! (I really want to switch my decorations next year!)

Sarah's Wedding Day

For the wedding day (in December), Sarah decided to use a mix of cream 'Vendela' roses and white 'Akito' roses. Doesn't she look gorgeous?!

Thanks again to Shannon at Images by Shannon for these pictures!

Sarah's Bridals

I'm just a little tiny bit behind on blogging!

Here is a picture from Sarah's bridal pictures back in November. Sarah chose a mix of cream hydrangea, cream roses and gardenias for her bridal portraits. I love the subtle mix of cream and white--so elegant.

Unfortunately, my memory stick malfunctioned that day, so I don't have any close ups!

Thanks to Shannon at Images by Shannon for this picture!

i heart fall weddings!

apple, tangerine, sage, lime & lemon creme...

sounds like a yummy bouquet!

For this mixed bouquet, we used red roses, red tulips, red mini gerbera daisies, creamy light yellow mini callas, orange roses, lime green hypericum berry and sage green seeded eucalyptus berry. I love this for a bright take on traditional fall colors!

Sydney & Luke revisited...

stay tuned for some upcoming fall weddings...and our main site will be getting an update in the next few weeks!

The Movie Wedding

One question I am often asked is, "So, do you do this full time?" Well, the answer is...sometimes. I like to do all kinds of creative things--and flowers and weddings are just two of them!

I also work in the film industry with my uber-talented director brother. This summer I took a month off from weddings to be the production designer for his latest indie film that was shooting here in Utah called "White on Rice." What is a production designer? Well, basically I was responsible for all of the set design, or how the backdrop of the movie looked--props, wall color, artwork, decor, furniture etc. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too.

One of the scenes in the movie was a wedding! Being that this is an indie film, we didn't have a very big budget to work with...and by not very big, I mean almost nothing...However, we wanted a funky, hip, young and creative look and we needed 10-- 60" tables and 10 cabaret tables, a cake and a few big pieces. Three things came to mind: curly willow, wheat grass and gerbera daisies.

(Incidentally, I also got to learn how to make a wedding cake for this scene! Yikes, are those ever a lot of work!!!)

























































































This last shot is with two of the main actors: Nae and Mio Takada
