Sneak Peak

Just a sneak peak of Corrina's bouquet, more pictures to come someday.  (Am I the only one who cues up Wells Fargo's, "Why not make your someday today?" every time I say someday??  I haven't decided if I love or hate those commercials. Probably depends on how much I've checked off my to do list on any given day...)  I decided if flowers had personalities hydrangeas would be hypochondriacs, constantly suffering from some perceived ill...so picky!   I've also decided I love tweedia....just a gorgeous little light blue delight.

Alissa + Alec

These two look familiar?? It's Alissa and Alec, the sweet couple that just got married in January.  I know I already posted a few shots I took, but I just got a peek at some of the shots Derek Pearson captured.  I was just cleaning out my inbox and came across the email Alissa's mom (and wedding planner extraordinaire) sent me the day after the wedding.  So sweet!

"The flowers were sooooo beautiful!! Exactly what I wanted. Absolute perfection!!!!!!!! Definitely the crowning touch for a perfect day. I cried when I saw them, because you got my vision so exactly right.

I am definitely prejudiced but it really was one of the nicest and prettiest weddings. Very quiet, very tender and special.

I made sure to tell everyone about this fantastic young florist I know! I will try to get my pictures posted on FB and I'll email you any that turn out well enough to use on your blog!! "

Melissa + Matthew

Some people are not so smart when it comes to technology.  As my Dad puts it, "On the information super highway, I'm roadkill."  Some people might have spent an inordinate amount of timing learning how to save a Word document as a JPEG.  But some people endure and swear to never print the word document, take a picture of it, then post it on here in all of it's fantastic fuzziness.  Some people. Sheesh.  But the good news is, some people have Google, vast quantities of dark chocolate and a determination to get it right. 

So, for your viewing pleasure, I give you (shouldn't there be a drum roll right about now?) Melissa and Matthew's Inspiration Board.  This is the by product of our first consultation.  Melissa brought some really great ideas and requests (Can you say "vintage," "natural looking," and "timeless, but unique?" She did. Sigh. I love her style!)  There was one flower she was certain she had to have (lilacs and lots of 'em!).  We had a great time talking flowers that would compliment the colors and mood of the day, as well as her budget.  Check out a few of them above..ranunculus, lilacs, anemones, sweet peas, nigella, stock, and apple blossoms. This weekend, we'll be meeting at The Farm Kitchen, the wedding and reception venue, to finalize plans for both the ceremony and reception flowers.  Can't wait!

Alissa + Alec

Alissa and Alec's wedding flowers have safely been deployed and as I type this, the two newly weds are enjoying their reception.  Of course, I know that you can't wait to see the professional pictures (me, either), but until then, I will tide you over with a few shots I managed to sneak in my mad dash out the door this morning.  (Every mom out there knows that there is a law of motherhood that wakes your children a minimum of 7 times during the night before something of importance.  The same law also causes your alarm clock to fail and your camera battery to die after 4 shots....all's well that ends well right??)

 The bride's bouquet.

The bride's bouquet included two varieties of cream roses, seeded ecualyptus and hypericum berries.  Alissa wanted to include a touch of apple green, so the hypericum berries were a fun way to highlight the color.

Crystal accents on the handle of the bride's bouquet were a great way to incorporate the little bit of  "sparkle" she was hoping for.

The cake topper. (It's sitting on a vintage pewter vase...the vase didn't actually go on the cake.)

The groom's boutonierre.

Just a little something to use a rose with a broken stem.  (This actually wasn't a part of the wedding order.)  Wouldn't this little fancy just be perfect on a guest book table?
