A graceful bellflower from the backyard.

Blaine Evans and peonies

What a cutie! Her smile is the genuine article. If you're wondering why the bride is hiking up her skirt and the bridesmaids are looking down, it's to show off those jazzy kicks from last post.  

not in these shoes

I will do a series on this wedding, but fyi when I ask you what shoes you are wearing with your dress there is a reason. Same bouquet as last post. Peonies, tulips, anemones and shoes.

peonies, tulips and anemones

 A bouquet of deep pink peonies, tulips and purple anemones. Romantic, simple and with great color choices. 3 elements.

Yellow

A nice yellow bridesmaids bouquet of lilies, mini calla lilies, ranunculus, hypericum berries, variegated pittosporum and plumosa.

Sarah Hearne

Here we have Sarah Hearne and company. Her bouquet is of blush cymbidiums, hot pink Cherry-oh roses and hypericum berries. The bridesmaids are stargazer lilies, hot pink roses, hypericum and calycina wrapped in black ribbon.

Central Missouri Bride 2

More from the Central Missouri Bride Magazine cover shoot. The model here is Jordan Cheatham.

Central Missouri Bride

A great shoot for Central Missouri Bride magazine. We had 2 great models. This post features model Kahlia Kanas. Editor Stephanie Garrison Strobel. Hair by Catherine Crum. Shot at Travis Duncan Photography (photographer, lighting and background genius, the man etc.) The flowers; peonies, viburnum and astilbe, a trendy and romantic bouquet. The next post will feature model Jordan Cheatham.

Myla Manalo

One of the hardest parts of writing for this blog (aside from my poor grammar) is coming up with adjectives for how beautiful these girls are on their day. I won't even try this time. Myla Manalo carrying a bouquet of roses in yellow, salmon, coral and hot pink. On the handle is her grandmother's rosary. This was my first experience with a Philippino wedding and the feeling of family unity was amazing.

Sweet May

This post got lost when blogger was doing some repairs. So in case you didn't get to see it here it is again. A last minute courthouse wedding bouquet with spray roses, viburnum, sweet peas and lisianthus.

Heloise, my favorite iris

I wait every year for this iris to come up. I asked Jamey what it's common name was and he said ''Heloise," which is obviously the first name that came into his head. I like it.

peonies

My friend Amber swears she had permission to cut these peonies off of her neighbor's bush. I choose to believe her. Hang out, arrange flowers.

Happy Mother's Day!

Yellow roses, kale, hypericum, solidago, green button mums and tree fern in a cube.
