Lani Wedding-August 2011

I had my first experience doing a Tongan Wedding in August.  I met with Natalie (Lani's sister) a few weeks before the wedding.  I have never done a consultation for a bride without her there so it was interesting to discuss and design flowers for a client that I never met. 

Lani's colors where light blue, lavender, white, and gray.  I added a little creamy/yellow as well for an accent color.  I love this color combination!!!  It is so pretty and soft.  It was a great combination for her dress and style.

This wedding was one of my largest quantity wise and most inexpensive considering how many arrangements we did.  Which goes to show that if you are willing to give your florist a little leeway she can come up with economical designs that give you the most bang for your buck.

Flowers used where: hydrangea, delphinium, roses, lisianthus, stock, orchids, dusty miller, and curly willow.

Carrie-Millcreek Inn

Carrie was a WONDERFUL bride to work with.  From the moment she contacted me I new we were going to click and work so well together.  I was dying to do Carrie's flowers so much that I totally re scheduled a vacation I had planned for St. George.  I know drastic but come on the flowers where FANTASTIC!!!

Carrie gave me her colors of guava and eggplant.  Now the guava right off was a hard color.  Very few if any flowers come in the color guava so we focused on the eggplant/purple color.  We added hints of orange/pink for the guava.  If I do say so myself it turned out FANTASTIC!  Carrie only had one stipulation concerning her flowers, she wanted something totally different and unique.  She specifically said I don't want it to look like any other brides bouquet out there.  Well Carrie I think we achieved it! 

I am going to beg for professional pictures from her photographer since the bouquet shape is hard to see in my pictures. 

Flowers used where: hydrangea, orchids, protea, greenery, fern curls, calla lilies, and curly willow.

Megan- April 2011

I have been such a slacker on blogging. I have a couple of shots from the wonderful McKenzie from Photography by McKenzie.  McKenzie is located in Utah County and does an AMAZING job! 

Megan contacted me 1 week before her wedding, that's right 1 WEEK!  Thankfully I was available and could provide her with some beautiful flowers.  Megan wanted something classic and traditional in yellow, pinks, cream, and green.  Flowers used are: yellow roses, pink ranunculus, white calla lilies, and greens.

Isn't her dress FANTASTIC!?!  I love it!  I have never seen anything like it!

Blanca~ 4/21/11

Blanca's daughter contacted me to work on her mother's wedding flowers.  I love when brides have a solid idea of what they want and their style. 

Paramount Photography was kind enough to send me some pictures of the wedding flowers.

Blanca wanted a classic look of red, white, and black.  In my opinion you can never go wrong with those colors! :)

Flowers used where: cream (vendella) and red (black baccarra) roses. 

Kristi & Tyler~ 6/4/11

This lovely wedding from June was shot by Kristin Klein with Pickled Pepper Photography (cutest name btw!).  Kristin was kind enough to send me some photos from Kristi's Bridal Shoot as well as the wedding. 

Kristi was the most stunning bride!  I loved her dress, her jewelry, hair, the list can go on and on!!!  Did I mention her dress!?! 

Kristi chose one of my favorite color combos and I was thrilled to work with a bride that wanted something bold.  There is nothing more stunning then fuschia, deep red, and green.  Kristi really wanted peonies and lucky for us it was peonies season!!! :) Those large fuschia blooms are STUNNING!!! 

Flowers used are: roses, spray roses, dahlias, pods, stock, spider mums, berries, and PEONIES!

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! :)

Zach & Brittni

Finally I am posting some pictures of my nephews wedding!!! I wish I could post ALL the pictures that Carolyn Anderson took but that would be a HUGE blog post! 
I just loved the colors and textures of this wedding.  It turned out beyond beautiful.  I am so lucky to have them ask me to do their flowers.  Thanks again for letting me do this for you guys!
