I had such a great time being a part of the Garden of the Gods Bridal Show last night. This Colorado Springs venue is amazing! The sunset was so pretty going down behind the Garden of the Gods.What a great event!

I was able to see familar faces, connect with people I hadn't seen in a long time, and met lots of great new vendors. So honored to have been invited. The brides were awesome and I can't wait to create some amazing wedding flowers for these girls. 

 

 

 

 

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!

While on vacation in Washington D.C. I found this really adorable store called the Paper Source. Unfortunately, they do not have stores in Colorado, but they have an amazing online selection. These are unique invitations and guestbooks for your fabulous Colorado Springs Wedding. Check them out Paper Source Invitations.

 A favorite, if I were having a fall wedding!

Recently my daughter was in a wedding in Colorado Springs, and her dress came from Something New Boutique. We had to have it altered and they were fabulous to work with. They offer a large selection of bridal gowns, bridesmaids dresses, mother's dresses, flower girl dresses,  prom and special event gowns, and they have amazing accessories! My daughter's tiara was so pretty!!  Mindi and her staff truly care about you as a client, and they have exceptional products! I would recommend any bride in Colorado Springs to visit Something New Boutique www.somethingnewboutique.com for your "Something New"

I LOVED this dress, it's by Maggie Sottero, one of the designers Something New Boutique carries. I also LOVED the flowers in their soft shades of green and lavender.

Fall is my favorite time of year and Fall Wedding Flowers are no exception. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE texture and when I get the chance to utilize all that fall has to offer I do!

Some of my fav textures...Seed Pods, Fruit-Pomegranates, oranges, etc., Hypericum Berry, Safari Sunset, and my favorite...Bittersweet Vine! 

I also love the rich colors. Whether it be traditional oranges, reds, and yellows, or more contemporary fuschia, orange, red...I love them all! My most favorite flower this time of year is the orchid. There are so many to choose from and each gives a distinct design to wedding flowers-oncidium, james story, mokara, and cymbidiums!

Colorado Springs is an amazing place for a fall wedding. The mountains are more majestic, the air more crisp, the sun more intense, and the colors more vibrant! All of this equals More Fabulous Flowers!!

Peggy wanted something unique and elegant, so we combined calla lilies, mokara orchids, and cymbidium orchids in the rich orange and brown tones she wanted. We added green cymbidium orchids to make the other colors pop! I absolutely loved these bouquets. Peggy and her mom wanted something to keep from the wedding so we designed 2 silk arrangements for the alter that they were able to keep for their homes. Thanks Peggy for letting us be a part of your wedding! Many Blessings.

Peggy used an awesome local photographer, John, of Majesty Photo. He does an awesome job and is so easy to work with! www.majestyphoto.com

Kate loved peonies...she got married in May when they were in full bloom, which makes me LOVE peonies because they are big and beautiful! Kate was so much fun to work with. She wanted a garden feel to her wedding so we added David Austin garden roses and james story orchids to her peonies and they looked amazing! Thank you Kate...I loved working with you.

Her photos were done by Allison at Stellar Propeller...Thanks for the great pics...www.stellarpropellerstudio.com

Stacy lived in California when she contacted me a year before her wedding. We did all the planning by email. She wanted her flowers to be fun and bright. She had such a clear vision and was really great to work with. Below are the pictures from her Air Force Academy wedding. Her photographer was amazing. Visit www.markjanzenphotography.com for more of his fabulous work!
