July Wedding: Julie at Alta Lodge

Julie was a wonderful bride that had all of her ducks in a row! She had pictures and an idea of what she wanted and that made my life easy. She loves pink....lots of PINK and did I mention JEWELS!?! So we did a beautiful wedding of varying shades of pink from hot to light with lots of bling. The setting was spectacular at Alta with some of the best views of the mountains I have ever seen. I built two structures to frame the mountains for the ceremony and then we moved them around after for the reception. Enjoy some of the pictures!

Sara Wedding May 2009

Sarah Bigelow was my bride in May that chose blue and orange for her wedding colors. We used light blue hydrangea with orange callas, orange lilies, and orange ranunculus. Sara is an artist so she wanted some visual interest so we caged her bouquet in curly willow and hung blue jewels from various points. She also wanted a bow which I tucked inconspicuously under the hydrangea. This bouquet turned out awesome!!! Enjoy!

Bridal's Bouquet Give Away!!!

Because this is a new year full of new ideas and new advertising strategies I am offering our first time ever FREE bridal bouquet for your bridals giveaway! I am offering four bridal bouquets to four lucky brides.
WHY? You ask.... :) for a couple of reasons: First every bride could benefit from getting something for nothing during the planning of a wedding. Seriously things can get expensive! Second, I can always use more pictures for advertising! Last, because I CAN!!! hahahaha No seriously this is a great opportunity for both you and I to get something we want for nothing. :)
Rules: Yes there are always rules!
#1- Bride must email me a little note giving me the following information. Name, phone number, email, bridal picture date, time, and location, photographer (name, contact info), and a short paragraph to why I should choose you for this honor!
#2- Bride and photographer must sign a contract that says that I will receive and have rights to at least 15 photographs that showcase the bridal bouquet alone or being held by the bride.
#3- Bride is aware that they have no say in the color, style, or flowers being used for the bouquet.

Here are the design inspirations:

Red & Turquoise Traditional- bright red flowers with blue accents. Red roses, red berries, Gerber's daisy's, and greenery.


Purple & Orange Modern- Various shades of purple and orange with wire accents. Flowers: purple orchids, orange protea, orange roses, purple callas, and tropical foliage.


Bright yellow, hot pink, green, and touches of blue. Fun, quirky, and fresh! Flowers will be straight out of the garden. Daisy's, hydrangea, iris, delph, roses, etc...



White and romantic. Lots of lush white flowers, crystal accents, and full of greens. Flowers will be hydrangea, gardenias, orchids, ranunculas, roses, and other flowers.

New Year=New Goals....

Ok....so I have literally fallen off the blogging wagon for this blog and I soooo apologize. I have been busy doing weddings...the film has yet to be developed.
I can just hear the gasp of dismay when I used the word "FILM". hahahaha I am sure you are all wondering why the crap I have not upgraded to a digital so I will explain. I have an amazing film camera that I bought for my photography class in college and it takes the most amazing pictures. My digital does not seem to capture the color, texture, and look of my designs like the film camera. So until I can afford the high class digital camera I desire I am still the one and only person using film! :)
But this weekend I will be taking my five rolls of film to be developed and you will get a lot of new pictures of my past year.
The up and coming blog post of the following weddings will be: my wedding :), Bridal photo shoot, Sarah's wedding (if I can ever get a hold of her), Daisha's Wedding, Julie's Wedding, Liz's Wedding, Teresa's Wedding, and Julia's Wedding. Also I will post my Christmas Tree for 2009 and my mom's mantel I did as part of her Christmas present. :)
So my goal for 2010 is to blog on time :) and to add blogs about different aspects of design not just my wedding work. So you will get to see some of my favorite interior design ideas, wedding ideas, and photography. Hopefully it goes the way I imagine in my head! :) And hopefully I can figure out how to file my post by the labels!

BOSS HOUSE

So my boss likes to have me make stuff for her house...funny I know but hey it gets me from sitting at the computer all the time!

Here is a picture of a silk I did for her house. It turned out so pretty!!! I wish it could fit in my apartment!!!

Bridals/Groomals

Ok....this is a long time coming!!! Wid and I had our Bridals/Groomals done in January and I am barely getting some of them posted. We got married last weekend so those pictures will come a little later. It has been a crazy crazy month but now that its all said and done we can relax a little!

Hope you like them!!!

Cubed roses

So I got creative and thought it would be fun to play with small cubes and roses. This would be a really cute centerpiece. You could put it in a cluster on a mirror with tea lights. You could do multiple stacked levels. With more than one grouping. Honestly the options are endless! Hope you think they are as cute as I do!!! :)
