Everything's coming up roses!

Congrats to Katie and Reid! This was a beautiful rose wedding. I couldn't stop myself, I lost count at 72 roses in the bridal bouquet. Yeah, yeah, I tend to overdo a bit. Katie and Reid both liked the ribbon grass wrap detail that I do, and Katie is very particular about symmetry. So Reid's boutonniere sported a heart shaped (not to obvious, but definitely there), symmetrical design that somewhat caged in the red rose. I thought it was gorgeous. Of course I did. ;)

Farmer's Market

I'm a farmer. :) I did have to supplement what I grow with some other locally grown beauties this time. I probably will for the next month or so. Here are a few shots of market bouquets. The irises, peonies and grasses are all mine. If you're in the area, check out the Wellspring Saturday Market from 10-2pm every Saturday.

Happy Birthday Michelle!

Michelle, at the Pacific Crest Grand Ballroom had a birthday and her doting husband ordered an 'awesome' bouquet for her. Her favorites are lavender roses. She loved this!

Heather and John

I wish I had more time to take more pictures of these pretties. I can't wait to see the professional shots. Heather was such a fun bride to work with. More pics to come...

Corsages

Orchid corsages are always pretty. Here are a few from mother's day.

My great grandmother

I did this casket piece for my great grandmother's funeral. I managed her care and cared for her myself for the last four of her 101 years. She was an amazing woman with so many stories to tell. I'll miss her forever, but I'm happy knowing that she is home now. Once I had the flowers in front of me, it all came together very differently than I had planned it. This is how I know it was right, it wasn't me, it was just me interpreting her life in flowers.

Style Unveiled

How cool it is to be messing around on a really popular wedding blog and discover that I'm in it?! This was one of the most fun weddings I've ever had the pleasure of doing flowers for. Terra will go down in history as one of my absolute most favorite brides! She had such creative and unique ideas for her wedding. It was lots of fun carrying out her vision with flowers. Check out Style Unveiled's blog on Terra and Paul's wedding here. If anyone should be looking for a photographer, I highly recommend You Look Nice Today. A glance through the photos of this wedding will tell you why.
