Kelley and Ames, aka: the dynamic duo!!
















Kelley has long been a favorite cake artist of mine! Not only does she create the most amazing wedding cakes ever, but she is super fun as well! I have always enjoyed working with her so when the subject of her super secret surprise wedding became known to me I was all on board!! I knew I just HAD to create the florals for this very special event! Kelley and Ames are truly one of the neatest couples I know. Their personalities mesh perfectly with each other and everyone who knows them, loves to be around them! So, you ask. What does a highly creative and fun loving couple do when they want to surprise everyone? They throw a surprise wedding of course! They invited their closest family and friends to what they called their engagement party at the Curtis Hotel in downtown Denver. Reality: It was a wedding! As the guests all met in the lobby of the hotel, friend and wedding coordinator, T.C. Decker of Muse Events announced that we were there for a wedding and to please follow her. She led us all through the streets of downtown Denver to the dancing statues!! And there stood Ames! We all gathered, Ames held a boom box high overhead, the music started and down walked their two daughters dressed up in Steampunk outfits! Kelley wasn't far behind in a red gown she had made! Their theme was Steampunk but also family. The blending of their two families into one, made magical with the location and the fun surprise of it all! Flowers had to match the theme and I had a blast creating florals that matched the reds and burgundies but also by adding in touches of Steampunk fun in chains, little clocks, gears and metals bead details. Congratulations Kelley and Ames! May your inner zombies, batmans and colored hair styles always make you smile!
