You can't go wrong with pink and white for mother's day...

UVU PR Tradeshow Piece

This thoughtful arrangement was for the PR trade show at UVU. They asked that it be along the lines of our Irish Country-side inspired pieces for this year's Habitat for Humanity county fundraiser breakfast (post coming soon!).  I loved being able to do something more directly linear, while still maintaining a slightly "found" feeling. The recycled paper container filled with fresh sheet moss and sponge mushrooms certainly set the tone and the stock smelled heavenly!

Featuring: Bells of Ireland, Sheet Moss, Sponge Mushrooms, White Majolica Spray Roses, Cream Stock, Curly Willow (sprayed gold).

Dana & Zach, revisited

I just can't get over how beautiful this wedding is and I'm so happy for my dear friend!

Dana is such a gorgeous bride and she was positively beaming all day! I'm so happy she has finally found someone who loves her with everything he has.

So many sweet moments between Dana and her twin sister, Robyn:

Amelia & Phil

I was ecstatic when Amelia said turquoise was one of her colors! We had really wanted to use fern curls (aka monkey's tail, fiddle fern) in her bouquet, but we still wanted to bring in the turquoise color, so I came up with the wire fern curls instead. I was so excited to create the unique, crescent shaped bouquet. This lovely palette had just a touch of winter with small bits of dusty miller, cedar, and amaryllis. 

More pictures to follow!

Bridesmaid bouquet of turqoise wire fern curls, peacock feather tips, turquoise waxflower, "Amelia" roses, misty white, variegated lily grass, and seeded eucalyptus. 

My favorite view of this crescent shaped bouquet is from the side:

"Hearts"

When I first consulted with Jan, the bride, I noticed her wearing a necklace with a cross and a heart on it. I typically avoid "themey" things in my designs, but this seemed like something that would really suit Jan - "Hearts" roses and beargrass hearts, complete with red wire details. The red wire pushes it to a more modern look. Go here to see the coordinating cake.

Boutonniere: "Hearts" rose, Dendrobium Orchid,  Israeli Ruscus, Beargrass, and red aluminum wiring. 

Here is a closer look at the fantastic texture of the "Hearts" rose.  It's a beautiful variety with a high petal count, deep color, and a large head.

This lovely lady was the mother of the groom, complemented by the dendrobium orchid and spray rose corsage.
