Destination Wedding!

Now, I love helping all brides with their florals and decor. This holds true no matter what the size of the wedding, but sometimes a bride needs a bit more helps. This is usually the case when I have a bride from out of the state. Stacey was a destination bride planning a wedding in Breckenridge all the way from Georgia! I have had brides from out of the country as well, but I have found that if a bride is from out of state or country, she needs a bit more help than those who live here. And frankly, there is something very satisfying when I get to help someone to that extent!

Stacey wanted a Colorado style wedding with a fall theme. And boy did she get it! Oranges, reds, golds, and a touch of green for the flowers with centerpieces consisting of curly willow trees in which I hand wired fall leaves and hid little LED lights among for added glow as the sun went down. One of the details I enjoyed was her inspiration rocks. I took black river rocks and wrote inspirational words on them in golds and reds. Stacey told me later that she loved everything but she was happy to report that her guests clammored for those rocks and not one of them was left at evenings end! Thank you Stacey for trusting me to help plan your destination Fall in Colorado wedding!

Creams, yellows and hot pink!

I love all kinds of flower and color combinations but I have to say, Marisa's yellow and hot pink combo really looked wonderful together! Marisa chose to have her bouquet of all creams, whites and ivories using flowers that smell fabulous! White hydrangea, ivory Vendella roses, white garden roses, white freesia and ivory spray roses = YUMMY! For her bridesmaids, who happened to be wearing dresses in butter yellow, she chose a combination of hot pink hydrangea, yellow roses, and ivory spray roses. Congratulations to Marisa and Dan!

Red and White- not just for the holidays!

How do you take red, white and black as your wedding colors and make it look like an August wedding and not a holiday one? Easy! Use summery looking flowers! That is what Emily did for her August wedding to Kyle. Gerbera daisies, alstromeria, freesia, berries and eucalyptus combined to create wedding flowers that fit the time of the year as well as Emily's chosen colors.

Sally loved color!

Sally found me through a former bride of mine, Lauri. I love it when I get referrals from former brides! It is truly one of the best compliments I can get.

For Sally's wedding, she wanted an assortment of all kinds of flowers in lots of different colors. She left most of the choices up to me, but we both agreed on an assortment of daisies, roses, lizianthus, ladies mantle, delphinium, lilies and wax flower. The result was perfect for her out door ceremony by Shove Chapel. Congratulations Sally and Alex!

Not your usual Air Force Academy blue wedding

While Rebecca did choose a light blue accent to go with her flowers, her main colors were orange and yellow. Perfect for an August wedding! Rebecca loved the idea of wildflowers and a gathered look that was more natural and loose. The flowers she chose worked perfectly for this style: Sunflowers, gerbera daisies, kermit mums, solidago delphinium, alstromeria and ladies mantle. Combining location, personal style as well as our beatiful Colorado mountains as a backdrop worked wonderfully for Rebecca and Matt!

GO mom GO!

Every year I get at least one if not two weddings where I never see the bride. Not once. This is usually due to a brides very busy work and/or school schedule which tends to involve lots of travel. Thus, the bride literally has no time to plan. Enter in: the bride's mom!! Lynn to be exact in this case. Kelly was a bride who truly did not have much time. She knew what she wanted, but just had no time to execute it all! So, Lynn took over for her daughter. She may have been stressed and worried at times, but she did a fabulous job! Congratulations to Kelly and Scott, but also to Lynn!

Red and Cream roses!

Shelby chose a classic red and cream rose flower palette for her wedding to William at the Air Force Chapel. One of the best stories behind this wedding was the planning determination by Shelby and her mom, Sheila. Not only did they make several trips to Colorado from Kansas, they did so at least once in a snow storm!! Now that is midwestern stamina! And, for all you babies breath haters out there, check out how fun it looked in all the florals for Shelby and William's wedding. It is coming back and that is all right with me when you can get your hands on varieties as full and luscious as this million stars type!! Congratulations to Shelby and William!
