I've said it before, but I LOVE fall weddings and flowers!! Jeff and Erica were great to work with and I wish them a wonderful life together. They wanted their wedding flowers in browns. golds, oranges, and wine. They were really open to any flowers that would give them a fall feel. We did mokara orchids, calla lilies, roses, button poms, dahlias, and oncidium orchids. We added liquid amber to the base of the bouquets for a real autumn feel. I loved the flowers in the corsages and boutonnieres as well. They wanted something non-traditional so we did bittersweet and liquid amber wrapped in copper wire for the boutonnieres, and miniature dahlias, orchids, buttons, and billy balls for the corsages. 

Erica loved pumpkins, and they were wanting to re-use flowers. I suggested they get pumpkins and hollow them out to place the bridesmaids bouquets inside for centepieces. I can't wait to see how they turned out!

We were honored to provide the flowers for a 50th Anniversary party today in Colorado Springs at The Broadmoor Hotel. What an amazing testament to all married couples! Congratulations on 50 wonderful years! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day!

I woke up this morning to beautiful Colorado snow. This is the second time it's snowed here this year, but this is the first time it has stuck. Snow this early in the season is a nightmare for a florist because we have to wrap all the flowers if it is below 35 degrees so they don't freeze. The Falcon/Peyton area is extra difficult because of the wind! Hopefully it will warm up a bit so I can enjoy the fall colors just a little more. My red maple tree was really pretty with the snow on it this morning. Keep warm today!
