I had the priviledge of doing the flowers for one of my childhood friends. Our parents taught together and for a couple years we lived right next door. I love when family and friends allow me to be a part of the special days! Thank you Sara! Her wedding was one of my favorite color combinations...red and teal. The were married in the mountains of Colorado near Frisco. She wanted something simple and natural, but had pop! We used red gerbera daisies and bear grass. The weather was gorgeous. Many blessings to you Sara and Eric!

Feathers have become very popular in wedding bouquets. They are a fun way to add personality-subtle elegance or a little funk! Feathers are also a great way to add color to a bouquet that doesn't occur naturally-black and teal are huge colors right now. Have fun and make your bouquet your own!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of doing the flowers for one of my family's long-time friends daughter.  Kerstin has amazing taste and every detail was perfect. The wedding was in the garden at The Lumber Baron Mansion in Denver.  Kerstin's bouquet was shades of pink peonies, ranuculus, hanging amaranthus, and queen anne's lace. It looked fresh-picked from the garden. Her centerpieces were in antique tea biscuit tins (LOVED THIS!!) She also had antique paper rolled into cones to hold petals and they were clipped to a wire birdcage rack. She had some amazing vintage looking laterns and fun personal details everywhere. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day and many blessings to you!

June has started with a bang! It's a month full of weddings. We had a wedding last weekend and it was gorgeous! All white mokara orchids for the bride and beautiful pale yellow orchids for the bridesmaids. Simple and elegant. This weekend we have a wedding at the Historic Pinecrest-a little bling, and The Colorado Springs School-lots of beautiful color. Both are going to be amazing. I can't wait to show you.

We will get the next weekend off and then we have 4 weddings in a row the last week of June. We will be at The Club at Flying Horse, Garden of the Gods Club, and two in Denver! I'm so excited for this wedding season! So many fun designs and wonderful places to work. I LOVE my job!

 

 

Yesterday we had the pleasure of putting together the wedding flowers for Melissa at The Club at Flying Horse in Colorado Springs. It was a gorgeous day except it was so windy! I hope that Melissa was able to have her ceremony outside.  Melissa had such great style. The centerpieces were a collection of different vases with dahlias, roses, and hydrangea. The tall centerpieces with quince branches and limes!  Everything looked really amazing! I loved the way the bouquets turned out as well. The bride wanted her flowers to be more peach and green so we used green cymbidium orchids, peach dahlias and two different types of roses, hypericum berry, and mokara orchids. The bridesmaids had similar flowers with the addition of mini calla lilies. Thank you Melissa for allowing me to be a part of your wedding and many blessings to you.

In April, I had the priviledge of doing the wedding flowers for Nicole. Her wedding was at the Historic Pinecrest in Palmer Lake. It's such a neat chapel! I love when I get the opportunity to go there. Nicole's wedding colors were cranberry, green and ivory, and she loved Gerbera daisies so that was the focal flower. Thank you Nicole for allowing me to be a part of your wedding.

Two years ago our family began a journey that would make us laugh and cry and take us through more than we ever imagined. It has brought the most amazing people into our lives and we are so thankful for this time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone that has walked with us and thank you to all of our wonderful new friends! A little flash back to our first days...we weren't sure how we were going to make it through the chaos, but by mother's day we were a well-oiled machine! Ha! We are really looking forward to providing amazing flowers for you this mother's day...our 3rd...we're pros!!
