Marlee + Luke

Married today in Mt. Timpanogos Temple!

I adored the palette and inspiration for Marlee's wedding. I was so grateful that she trusted me completely to make her flowers the best they can be and make them a little more personal.

Greenland Wedding

True to her new name, the bride wanted her flowers to be green and yellow, with white accents. This bouquet had a springtime attitude that made it look like it could've been thrown together on the way to the church - nonchalant, yet composed with class.

The Happy Couple:

I like to think I'm funny...



Corsages:

Top Row - Pin ons, Bottom Row - Wristlets

Bryan Melgar

It's always an honor to be able to work on funeral flowers for someone. People use funeral flowers as a way to honor the person's most admirable qualities. This particular time, I worked on the funeral of Bryan Melgar, who died of Cancer at the age of 18. As I worked with the family to prepare for the funeral, I learned that Bryan, who'd had cancer since a young boy, who even though he'd gone through surgeries every month since 6 years old, still graduated high school at the top of his class. He loved sports even though it was a rare occasion for him to actually participate. He was brave, honest, and pure.

Take a look!

WEDDING TRADITIONS

A Thank You Arrangement

Hydrangea, Stargazer Lilies, Larkspur, Poms

Tutor Recognition Night

Last night was UVU's Tutor Recognition Dinner.

We were asked to make a few arrangements to give to a few of the Faculty of the Year awardees.

Here they are:

Mini Ti-Leaves, Sunflowers, Bells of Ireland, Kale, Israeli Ruscus

an arrangement for Lab Mom

Last week I, Erika,  made an arrangement for one very special lady.

Her name is Laurie and we work in UVU's Academic Tutoring Lab together. 

We call her "Lab Mom" cause that's what she is to us.

She takes care of all of us so well.

 My Lab-mom deserves the very best!

 

Tigerwood, Stargazer Lilies, Queen Anne's Lace, Milky way Aspidistra, peacock feathers

Frank May Tippetts

Last week I was able to do the funeral flowers for my Grandpa, Frank May Tippetts. He died on March 29, 2011 after a very successful life. It was so nice to get together with family from all over and celebrate our dear grandpa's life. My grandpa did so many wonderful things. He served in World War II, he was a professor, an artist, an architect... but most importantly he was a husband, father, and grandfather. He could've pursued his career much further than he did. He was even accepted to MIT for his Master's degree. But he always chose what was best for the family. They were always his number one priority.

Grandpa, you will be missed!

 

We used Delphinium, Bells of Ireland, Gladiolas, Fuji Spider Mums, Gerbera Daisies, Heather, Curly Willow, Roses, Enchantment Lilies, Stargazer Lilies, Irises, Stock, Eucalyptus, Emerald, Aspidistra.

Habitat for Humanity Fundraiser

Okay, so this post is long overdue. In March, as mentioned earlier, we were honored to be chosen by Habitat for Humanity to provide the centerpieces for their fundraiser breakfast.

 Leann had said that she wanted it to be very springy and fresh and that they should be the colors of the Habitat for Humanity logo. Royal blue, white, and green. We used Delphinium, Green Button Poms, English Bells, Blue Anemones, White Tulips, White Waxflower, White Football Mums, Bells of Ireland, Waxflower and Curly Willow.

For the Buffet Table we used Green apples for a more striking visual effect, Bells of Ireland, Hybrid Delphinium, Curly WIllow, White Stargazer lilies and Israeli Ruscus.

A Special Thank You

It doesn't have to be a holiday to send someone some flowers to just say thank you.

A spring basket arrangement.

 Pink Stargazer lilies, white spider mums, pink gerbs, purple larkspur,

white alstromaria, pink waxflower, etc.

Make sure to get your order in for Memorial Day coming at the end of next month!

A Rockstar Wedding

I was so excited about this. 

Succulents are probably my favorite thing ever! 

And I was so ecstatic about the white Kale and the Dark Dahlias and Agonis. 

Also pictured: Football Mums, Diosma, Peacock Feathers

This bouquet with its dark, dramatic features would be perfect for a unique bride with a lot of character.

A rockstar wedding, perhaps.

A Centerpiece to match:

Gypsophila Crown

Our photographer friend, Stephanie, needed a floral crown for a shoot. She wanted an airy look, so we went with gypsophila (baby's breath) and pink ginestra. Floral crowns are great for flower girls, and ethereal bridal shots! Here are my two favorite pics: 

Other photos from this shoot and more of Stephanie's refreshing work can be found on her blog at http://stephirene.blogspot.com/. Thanks Steph!
