Christina's Apple Red and Champagne wedding!

Christina loves flowers! Particularly roses! She wanted her wedding to look romantic as well as flower bedecked and I was happy to deliver. Christina also chose to carry a cascade style bouquet. Now, I usually get one or two requests every year for this style bouquet. It is very dramatic but also can be very heavy. I just happened to get a lovely shot of Christina and Gregory with her holding her dramatic cascade bouquet and I think you can see that it was gorgeous, but also could be heavy. I actually overheard her say, "wow, this IS heavy!" I know she loved everything and even got a little teary eyed when she saw her bouquet. That always makes this floral designers heart swell with pride and joy when I see my bride become emotional over the flowers I designed just for her. Congratulations Christina and Gregory!

Kelli's super duper detail oriented and organized wedding

Kelli is a teacher. This probably explains why her September wedding had a lot of wonderful details and was very organized. She knew exactly what she wanted, where she wanted it and how it all needed to be arranged. I am a detail person myself so I can relate!

Kelli chose a color palette of chocolate, cream and dark pink. (Let's say raspberry because, frankly, doesn't that sound yummy!?!) Roses and orchids were the flowers of choice for Kelli's wedding and from the pictures, well, WOW! Check out that reception set up! No detail was left untouched. From the linens, the centerpieces, the favors, the candy bar, the cake, and more! Every place that needed decor got it and it all worked out wonderfully! I am going to miss working with Kelli. She was a joy to talk to and a lot of fun to boot! Congratulations to Kelli and Mark!

(Special shout out to Taylor and Josh! THANK YOU!!! Your help was truly a blessing and one I will never forget!!)

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!
