Jennifer loved the details!
















Jennifer had a great eye for details and some of those details were retro in feel. Every single boutonnier and corsage had a little lace leaf that Jennifer cut out herself. She also had the venue in mind when she added in touches such as tiny twigs in the boutonnier's and green berries throughout. The Lodge at Cathedral Pines was the perfect choice for Jennifer and Chad. Jennifer is also one of my newfound friends and I am thrilled that I get to be not just her wedding day florist, but I get to keep up with her by reading her posts on Facebook! Congratulations Jennifer and Chad!

Clare's Eggplant and Lime color scheme
















I truly enjoyed working with Clare! Her bubbly personality made floral planning with her a delight! She loved flowers that had an edgier look and feel to them and frankly, they fit in wonderfully with her wedding venue: The Walker Fine Art Gallery in Denver. Several orchid varieties as well as plum/black mini calla lilies helped to create an artistic, edgy look and feel to her May wedding. Congratulations Clare and John!

Hot Pink! Sizzling!!











Shove Chapel is one of my favorite chapels in Colorado Springs! How could it not be!?! The Gothic styling, the marble floors, the painting on the ceiling...I could go on and on! BUT, there is one thing that Shove is that may not be so great. It tends to be a bit dark. So, Kim chose well when she decided on a hot pink and white color scheme! Hot pink will liven up any decor no matter how dark it can appear. Congratulations Kim and Ryan!

Lime green and chocolate brown!





























Sounds like a color combination that not only is really fun looking but seems like it could be a really good Mexican style drink you know!? Kaitlyn and Sean were married at Hillside Gardens with this fabulous color scheme as their decor style. Now, a lot of people tend to think that because my business is called Hillside Consultants I am somehow connected to Hillside Gardens. I am not, but I do enjoy going there to set up for weddings on their grounds. Kaitlyn chose the ever elegant calla lily bouquet as hers to carry and gave her bridesmaids green bouquets to compliment their green dresses. In addition, we jazzed up the wrought iron ceremony gazebo with funky green arrangements. A fun combo for a fun couple! Congratulations to Kaitlyn and Sean!

Crimson and yellow!






















There is something about red and yellow that just makes me smile! Yellow is such a happy, bright color and red always seems romantic to me. So, I guess it could be called the happy romantic look in my mind! Stephany had the happy romantic look of red and yellow for her wedding to Tyson at the Garden of the Gods in May. Perfect way to bridge spring and summer if you ask me. Congratulations to Stephany and Tyson!

Pretty in Pink!






















Kristi is the perfect example of how you CAN have some of the more expensive flowers without killing your budget! Her color scheme was dark pink, light pink and green. But she LOVED peonies and garden roses. Not to mention hydrangea. Not always the best flowers for a tighter wedding budget, but I knew there were ways to help her get her dream flowers in her chosen colors without make her check book cry! Check out the pictures. Do those say flowers on a tighter budget!? I think not! Congratulations Kristi and Scott!

Abby and her butterfly flower girl!






















Abby chose a fun spring palette in raspberry, sky blue and chocolate. Sounds good enough to eat doesn't it! But, on top of it, she also had a sweet little girl who was not only her flower girl, but she sported little butterfly wings as well! The Historic Pinecrest was the setting for the April wedding of Abby and Bryson. Abby chose hydrangeas, peonies, roses and stephanotis which worked perfectly for not only her color scheme but the overall look and time of year in which her wedding was held. Congratulations to Abby and Bryson!

Cream, white and black






















Color experts define white as all absence of color and black as all colors mixed together at once. I say, that may be true but how can you deny that this color scheme is more than something that is lacking or too much of? I say it is just right! Right for Heidi and Tylers wedding that is for sure! Roses, calla lilies, hydrangea, freesia and stephanotis combine to make this black and white affair beautiful as well as fragrant! Congratulations to Heidi and Tyler!

Champagne, Black and peach!
















There are so many wonderful colors you can use for your wedding. One of them is champagne! It is so versatile with so many color compliments that truly, only your imagination is the limit. Christina chose to have her champagne and black scheme complimented with a touch of peach and ivory. The result was elegant without being fussy! And, in case you were wondering, Sahara roses have the perfect blend of champagne to them, no matter what you use to compliment the color!
Congratulations to Christina and Devon!
