In July we had the priviledge of doing Danielle and Joshua's wedding at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort. It's such a pretty venue. 
One of my favorite flowers are orchids and her bouquets were full of them! The bridesmaids were wearing black dresses and carried bouquets of fuschia mokara orchids with bear grass. Danielle's bouquet was white cymbidium orchids with dendrobium orchids and a few white roses tucked in. Danielle's dress was gorgeous. She was such an adorable bride! A very sweet couple. Best wishes to you both.

This weekend we did a wedding at the small chapel at the First United Methodist Church in down town Colorado Springs. I LOVE this chapel. It's small, intimate space is beautiful and full of character-stained glass windows and dark wood pews! It is one of the most peaceful chapels I have ever been in.

The flowers were simple, fragrant, and beautiful. The bouquets were made of fresh lavender and tied with white ribbon like they were fresh-picked out of the field.

This year has been full of weddings I just love!! This one is no exception. Natalie wanted an elegant English garden feel. I love the muted colors of pink, green, ivory, and peach. We used hydrangea, roses, lisianthus, sweet peas, hypericum berry, Queen Anne's lace, and hanging amaranthus. The wedding was in Colorado Springs at The Club at Flying Horse and the day was absolutely gorgeous. The staff at Flying Horse is amazing and the venue is beautiful! The bride wore a gown from Something New Boutique (I'll post a picture when I get it), but it was beyond gorgeous...lace with detailed beading and the fit was fabulous. Holly Pacione was gracious enough to come along with me to get some great shots of the flowers. Thanks again!

Last week we designed the flowers for Ashley and Axel's wedding. They had a beautiful black and white wedding at Fox Run Park, in Colorado Springs and their reception at the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame. Ashley chose dahlias, lisianthus, berries, and feathers for her bouquet, and spider mums, berries, and feathers for her bridesmaids bouquets. Her boutonnieres were feathers and berries! I love when I can use unique items for boutonnieres. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of your wedding! Many blessings to you.

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.
