2-5-11 Wedding

I received some lovely pictures from Ceniza Studios for Megan Conk's wedding at Eldredge Manor.  Megan found me through Ceniza Studios and I was thrilled to design her flowers!  Megan has a unique style of modern and traditional.  The only request I had from Megan was she wanted pinks and gerbera daisy's!  Everything else she let me have free reign on.  I love it when brides do that!  I did show her some pictures of ideas I had and she agreed to all of them. :)

Her bouquet was light pink and hot pink gerbera daisy's and light pink roses.  The boutonnieres and corsages where all gerbera daisy's.  We chose low and tall centerpieces of gerbera daisy's and unique greenery.  The buffet was moved from the food table to a hallway buffet in between the receiving line area and the food area.  A funny story to go along with the buffet piece; the cylinders started out with just floating gerbera daisy's and when I came back to take down the arrangements there where FISH in my cylinders as well! :) My nephews where ecstatic when I brought them over fish...they named them! :)

Fish... :)

No fish! :)

Bouquet of the Month and Giveaway details

I decided the other day that I wanted to start doing a little monthly give away along with posting some past bouquets for fun. :)

First off the giveaway!  Well I started a Facebook page.  But because I seriously lack in computer skills for some reason I haven't figured out how to put that cute little "F" on my blog so you can just "like" my page from it.  Sooooo you will have to do a little leg work for me until the hands of god help me!

So our March giveaway will be this.  Every BRIDE that "likes" my facebook page CHIC DESIGN STUDIOS and posts their wedding date on the wall will get 10% off their wedding flowers. 

Ready Set GO!!! 

Here is a bouquet I did a few years ago.  I LOVE feathers!  And I especially LOVE pheasant feathers.  I have a feeling this fall I should do a fall/rustic wedding with pheasant feathers.  Any takers?  If you want to do a wedding like this shoot me an email and I will give you 20% off! :)

Floral Feature-The Bride and Groom

I am so excited to show some pictures from our latest inspiration shoot that was featured on The Bride and Groom website that you can see here.
I got together with my good friend Ash with Ceniza Studios and we came up with a Valentines Day inspiration shoot.  We of course added our own little twist to the holiday by mixing rustic and vintage details throughout. 
I have to thank my lovely assistant aka my sister in law Rachel for helping make some of the adorable details like the XOXO wood blocks as well as the Mr. & Mrs. signs.  Got to love the creative family that is willing to help pull things together! :)
I hope you enjoy a few pictures and check out the blog post!!! :)

PS-is that one bouquet not the most amazing thing you have ever seen!?!  I LOVE IT :)

Sadie & Luke Wedding

I have a soft spot for this next couple for multiple reasons.  Luke is my nephews best friend, I did Sadie's sister wedding a few years ago, and my family has known Sadie's family for years. These two are so adorable and just a great couple!  I emailed Sadie in November and asked her if she wanted me to do her flowers even though I live in Salt Lake.  She said, "YES", so I loaded up the car and drove to my home town for a weekend of fun!
They got married at the Elks Lodge in Blackfoot, ID and Sadie's family rocked the reception decor!  I have to gush a little about Sarah (Sadie's mom) this women can decorate!!!  She transformed that building into something magical and I was in LOVE!!!  I feel so lucky they had me do their flowers since everything else was so beautiful.  Carolyn Anderson Photography did the pictures and like always she provided the goods! Carolyn and I have done a few weddings together and I love every picture she sends to me.  That and she is one cool chick to work with!
Sadie chose hot pink and black as her colors.  She was gracious enough to give me a little freedom on her flowers so I added black feathers to her bouquet and jewels to the bridesmaids.  Flowers used where hot pink roses, hot pink spray roses, stargazer lilies,  hot pink gerbera daisy's, and seeded eucalyptus.  I actually did all the bouquets in holders this time (usually I am a hand tied girl) so Sadie's bouquet ended up feeling like she was carrying a small child!  hahaha None the less it was stunning and she was happy!!!

Bridals at La Caille

Oh man my blogging skills have been lacking!  I need to catch up on my weddings here as well as on my website.  The new year has already begun and the weddings are starting for 2011.  I can't wait to see what is in store for this coming year.  But enough of my jabber.... :)

I met Megan at the South Towne Expo Bridal Show in the Spring 2010.  Megan got married in Arizona but wanted to have her bridals done here in Salt Lake City and wanted me to do them. Megan was a sweetheart to work with and chose a beautiful location to have her pictures taken.  Her only request was she wanted her colors to be dark and incorporate peacock feathers, since she was using them throughout her wedding in November. In October I met her at the amazing La Caille where the leaves where changing and driving up to the chateau was like driving through a fairy tale. 

Her bouquet was a combination of purple stock, burgundy lilies, burgundy ranunculus, and black ti leaves.  I accented with a turquoise metal wrap and peacock feathers.
