This was a wedding that was held at the provo library and the bride choose the vintage theme again. The library is such a beautiful choice to hold a wedding with it's large room and big windows all around.

The Throw bouquet: Red Roses with holly berries.
Bridal Bouquet: Cream roses, white lisiathus, white tulips and white ranuculus.
The garland on the staircase was part fresh and part silk, making it a lot less expensive, but I think that it turned out really beautiful.

This wedding was a Friend of mines friend. She was great to work with and her wedding turned out beautiful. Not only the decorations, but the yard where they had it and the perfect 60 something degree weather.
She wanted her colors to be brown, green and bits of cream accent. Very classy and elegant colors.

Flowers in the bouquet are: Cream roses, white tulips, green button mums, white listianthus, white hydrangea and verigated pit for the greenery

Flowers for the centerpieces are: white and green hydrangeas with curly will twigs in the center.

vintage Wedding

Vintage weddings are very much in right now, and have been for quite some time. It just takes Utah a while to catch up!
The centerpieces are done with silk red roses. And then I found some vintage lace from my Grandma and wrapped it around the very modern square vase and then topped it off with a little black ric rac. I think that they turned out really great.
And the wristlet is also a silk flower. I added a little pearl head in the middle of the flower to give it a vintage look and voila! easy!
I really love doing silks for weddings. They turn out great and the best part is they never die!

Flowers: Yellow calla lilies and red tipped yellow calla's.

*I love calla's bunched together by themselves in a bouquet. It is very striking but simple enough to catch the eye. Calla's are a little bit more expensive than a bunch of roses, but make such a great statement of beauty!

Colors:Yellow, orange and red

Colors: Burnt orange, cream and Moss green

The bride wanted her bouquet to stand out from all the rest, and I think that we achieved this. This bouquet just says WEDDING to me, it is classic, elegant and simply beautiful.

I have to say that this bouquet was defiantly my favorite on so far! It had so much color and cheer to it. It fit in quite well with the lemons and limes that I sliced and put into the bottoms of the vases. The wedding was outside in a beautiful garden in Payson. I love to come to the weddings and see it all put together and then I add the final touch The Flowers, it is so fulfilling to me!

This arrangement was for the food table, but they did not have it set up yet so my picture did not turn out as planed.

I did these Large arrangement's for a bride who needed backdrop flowers for her ceremony in a catholic church so I did the tall one in the middle and then two of the shorter ones on the side. I was not able to deliver them to the actual church so I could not see exactly how they turned out on site, so I just hurried and took some pictures at home.
The bride did not have a large budget on these so I used a lot of greenery and some inexpensive flowers that went with her color scheme.

This Season's New Colors For Weddings

2009-06-24T13:54:00.000-07:00

This season's new and hot color pallets are simple and very eye appealing.

1. Fuchsia and Taupe
Here are all the flowers that come in Fuchsia

2.Brown and Green
Be carefull with this color combination, make sure that you either do more green with brown accents or more brown with green accents. If you mix the two evenly it could look to over done. And since you can't find brown flowers, then you will have to go with green.
Green Flowers: include, Roses, Hyperciruim berries, calla's, mums and more.

This was a fun and colorful wedding and the location was in one of the Covey's huge backyard. Her colors were Hot pink, yellow, orange and turquoise. It was different so for me it made it a lot of fun!

This was my Brother and Beautiful (as you can see) sister-in-laws wedding. I have to say looking back things turned out quite well considering I just had my first baby just 3 weeks before and I was still in shock! It was a lot of fun! Thanks Lisa for believing in me enough to do your flowers!

This was the first "official" wedding that I did flowers and decorations. Once again one of my husbands cousins who was so dear and kind to let us do this, being that it was our "first" and all. One of my favorite parts of doing a wedding (besides doing the flowers) is getting to know each of the brides and their mothers. In this case I had never met Allie, but it did not take long to realize that we were going to get along. Allie is so sweet and we continued on long after the wedding still friends. Thanks again Allie!
Their wedding was in December, so Allie wanted to do something that looked wintery. So I added a lot of greenery and some siver berries to the white callas and roses. Then the bottom was wrapped in a ice blue ribbon with wired jewels adorning it.

This was my Husbands Cousins wedding at the Provo Library. It turned out to be a beautiful day with stars hung from the big windows and even snow falling outside. Magical! (and yes I have issues with taking pictures of the bouquet and bridal party!)

This wedding was a lot of fun for be because of the colors and they really wanted to make it look good no matter the cost. And my prices are so good that I could do a lot more than they thought they could get. Unfortunately I was too busy that I did not have time to take a picture of the bouquet it was one of my favorites! Ahhh! oh well what can you do.

This was a fun wedding to do in a friends beautiful back yard. The day was a little rainy, but it cooled it down quite a bit.

Silk Flowers are great too

Silks done for the BYU philanthropies building

Don't be fooled when you hear "silk" flowers. Now days silk flowers are a great alternative to fresh. Yes sometimes they can be a little bit more pricey, but the benefits are that you can keep them when the wedding is all over. Also they are great for brides bouquets or throw bouquets. And they can be done in advance without a chance of wilting or dieing. Fresh are beautiful, but silk does have its benefits, so don't leave it completely out of the question!

I can help

2009-03-26T13:22:00.000-07:00

Your wedding day can be made simple and beautiful by the type and style of your flowers. I can help you to make the right decision at a great price. I am very competitive in price, because I have no overhead and I am mostly doing this to feed my love for flowers and to keep up with the industry and style.

FLOWERS!!!!! (My Story)

2009-03-26T13:02:00.001-07:00

I have always loved flowers! Even way back when I was very young I would love to just watch the lovely flowers grow in my mothers garden and see her make beautiful arrangements with the ones that she would grow and dry. I soon found my pathway in high school with a floral class and then thanks to all my wonderful friends and family who allowed me to do the flowers for their weddings. Then when I got married my mother-in-law allowed me to start making silk arrangements for her clients homes. From that point I was addicted and I wanted to do more, so I started a wedding business doing fresh flowers arrangments and decorations. That lasted about 4 years until I had two kids on my hands and it was taking up too much of my time. So here I am starting a small floral business back up! It will hopefully be just enough to curve my addiction to flowers! I love creating and I hope that you will enjoy my new blog.
