garden lilies

Lilies and dahlias from the garden. My floral fireworks.

Cat Smart

Here we have lovely Cat and company. Cat carried a flowing dendrobium and Vandela rose cascade with vinca vine for accent and movement. Each attendant (there were 8, I didn't get them all) carried basically single variety bouquets to match their shoes. Red roses, blue delphinium, orange dahlias and green button mums with hypericum berries and oregonia. When doing each bridesmaid's bouquet different I like to keep the bouquets simple, it shows a much clearer intention. The girls, as you can see looked fantastic!

sunset

One of several bouquets for Natalie Imhoff's  http://www.thebridalsolutionllc.com/ event, Bridal U. I had the pleasure of being a lecturer for this event along with several other wedding professionals from our area. Great event Natalie, and thank you for letting me address my passion! The key to a successful wedding show is to always make something you want to take home. Pincushion protea, orange mini calla lilies, "safari sunset" leucadendron, red hypericum berries and orange roses. More from pics from this event to come. Way to go Natalie!

smells like free spirit

The amazing free spirit rose paired with buplerum. With an extremely high petal count this rose opens beautifully, has a lovely light rose scent and colors that move from peach to orange to hot pink. The light green buplerum accents not only the color, but the ruffles of the spirits as well, just a great rose.

Faith Long

Lovely, kind and with a sweet Missouri Boot-heel accent that I could listen to all day every meeting with Faith was a joy. We created a straight up fall red and orange look for her that instead of being about texture was about shapes and color. Fall flowers can be elegant if you choose the right elements (again, choice is key.) Red roses, orange lilies and red gladiolas for the large piece. Thanks for having faith in me Faith!

Marisa Boyd's Bridesmaids

 

Marisa Boyd's bridesmaids. All the dresses were in the same color and fabric but in styles that were great for each girl's figure. End result, they all look beautiful and have a dress they can wear again. I had been looking forward to making these bouquets since Marisa and I finalized the flowers; orange mini calla lilies, terra cotta roses, safari sunset luecadendron and green hypericum berries. The handles were finished with raw silk ribbon then overlaid with a burlap-style mesh. Rustic yet very chic. More to come.
