"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.

Kalani & Bryce Bryson!

Wedding colors:
Dark Crimson Red

It was a pleasure to work with Kalani and work on these flowers.
My place was a HUGE disaster for a few days while things were getting put together, but things turned out fantastic!


The Floral Mess:
The floor was taken up by numerous flower buckets
as was my kitchen table and counters, even my stove was inaccessible.... 

The Outcome:

Bridesmaid Bouquet
Master Table Arrangement
Centerpiece

Kalani's Bouquet

Great colors for a November wedding!

Fischer Wedding - Our 3rd red and white this year!

I lucked out on this one. 


1) Jenni was a wonderful bride to work with and I'm sad it's over!  
2) She added purple to her red and white floral scheme to keep things spicy. 
3) We used Soutine/Red Intuition Roses - they're striped and I'm a total sucker for them!
4) HUGE thanks to Tacie at T. Wright Photography (click it, yo) for taking these refreshing shots! I forgot my camera, but Tacie was very kind in swiftly handing me a business card with a reassuring "No problem, I can email you the pictures." Whoo...






White Stargazer Lilies, Soutine or Red Intuition Roses, purple Lisianthus, purple Waxflower, red Tulips, white Stock, Italian Ruscus

They had their ceremony and reception in a beautiful location next to a babbling brook up the canyon (the drive up was gorgeous!), so I wanted to capture a romantic, yet slightly wild look with the bouquet. Italian Ruscus did the trick. The couple also opted to have the aisle sprinkled with petals, to add to the romantic backdrop. 





Boutonniere: Soutine Rose, Italian Ruscus, Waxflower



Corsages: Purple Lisianthus, Soutine Rose, Italian Ruscus, purple Waxflower

Now my favorite part....

The centerpieces!



5 red Tulips sculpted inside of a volcano vase with black river rocks, and a few blades of lily grass swirled around the inside.

Kaeli & Tyler Macbeth

A traditional red and white wedding. She chose her main flower to be red and white gerbera daisies with her own bouquet being distinctive flowers from the rest. Courtney and I had the experience of going to the reception center to arrange all of the flowers. We even had enough flowers to make a garland for the arch way that the bride and groom were going to stand under during their reception! Courtney is the garland master!

Here is a picture of the Kaeli's red and white bouquet.
(Pictured: red roses, white enchantment lilies, queen anne's lace, green coffee bean, bear grass)

Luckily for us at The Fleurist, my husband David was a photographer at the wedding as well so as I may not have pictures of the garland right away, rest assured, pictures will come of how everything turned out. Don't those roses look divine?? 

MORE PICTURES TO COME! Stay tuned. :)

Kussee Wedding

She wanted something something fresh...something modern, but with the weighted palette of red, cream, and black - yellow added for zest. A clean and refined assortment was devised: fresh she got!




The couple printed a few pictures from after the ceremony to display at the reception, and the bouquet photographed extremely well. The colors are quietly bold, the texture defined - making for a substantial subject. 

Yellow Cymbidiums, Akito Roses, Black Magic Ti Leaf, red Anenomes, white Pixie Carnations, red Kangaroo Paw. Stems finished with black sheer ribbon and pearlized pins.


(Left Boutonniere) Red Anenomes, yellow Feverfew, Black Magic Ti Leaf loops. Stems finished with black sheer ribbon and wrapped in red wire. 
(Right Boutonniere) Akito rose, yellow Feverfew, red Kangaroo Paw, Black Magic Ti Leaf loops. Stems finished in a likewise fashion. 
Corsages (not shown): Same items as the boutonnieres, white Alstromeria with yellow hues added. 


Cymbidiums suspended in a square, glass vase by coiled wire. It was stunning inside of the reception hall (too dark to photograph, unfortunately). This idea would be so adaptable to any scheme because the wire comes in a wide variety of colors. A softer look could be obtained by using a round vase and wired ribbon. A set of three would make for an breathtaking center piece. So simple and so chic.

Max & Madisyn

Gale Wedding: Orange, Blue, and Ivory

When first approached with the colors "Burnt Orange" and "Navy", I'll admit- I was...hesitant. In the end, we created a lavish autumn assortment with appealing texture.


 Photo: Kristina Curtis Photography (Click on it!)

With a color combination such as navy and orange, the initial reaction in one's head is usually something like "CLASH CLASH CLASH" or "GO BRONCOS!". Usually, color experimentation is half the fun of floristry, but when I see bouquets where they've used orange Gerbera Daisies and Delphinium, I think there are better ways to go about such palettes. 
In this bouquet, I stuck with orange as the base floral color, and just used ribbon to tie in the navy. On the boutonnieres, we wrapped the stems in ivory ribbon and crimped navy boullion wire (I think I'll stick with straight wire next time I wrap, though).  

Now for the ingredients-
As the bride was using little pumpkins, fall-esque pasta and such for her centerpieces, the feel was an autumn one. Orange, red, and yellow. We loved(x3)! using the yellow Mini Callas in here. They really brighten up the look. The Mango Callas sit nestled amongst bunches of red Waxflower and fluffy bits of yellow Solid Aster. I think the Solid Aster adds a wonderful touch of texture, as I said - fluffy! Miss Erika did a wonderful job with those Lily Grass loops, don't you think?
