Sneaky Peaky

Look HOW CUTE! This bride was the most feminine/hardcore bride I have ever met... she had sweet tattoos and nose rings and yet, she was graceful and genuinly gorgeous...more pictures to come!

I LOVE PINK

Seriously, I love pink. It is one of my favorite colors, which is why I am always drawn to pink flowers...I was hired by Taylor of Taylor Made Dreams to make the bouquet and boutonierre for this adorable bride..we then miraculously got Kristi Sheriff of Kristi Sheriff photography to take these gorgeous pictures of the bouquet! The bouquet includes peonies, nerine lilies, ranunculus, and sweet pea! Totally spring and totally PINK!

Seeded Eucalyptus

I have noticed that I am becoming obsessed with plant elements that are a bit more rustic looking. Perhaps this is Idaho rubbing off on me? One can never be sure... but I do know that I still love the simplistic design look. Again, this means one or two plant elements in one container. No more! Then set them side by side, or one in front of the other and it makes for an interesting visual feast! Enjoy!

ColorYummy Bouquet

I love Yummy things, namely gummi bears, starbursts, froyo, and cheese. But I think this bouquet is YUMMY! I love all the colors! This bouquet was made to go with the simplistic table and like I said, anyone with the same color pallete only has to email me to get a bouquet HALF OFF!! Even the price of the bouquet is YUMMY!

Simplicity Table

Here is the simplistic table I promised... I was going for a shabby chic/ barnyard fall feel and I adore these glass containers. I also love the color pallette, the oranges, greens, purples, corals, whites, and blues. GIVEAWAY!!! Anyone who contacts me and uses this color pallette will get their bridal bouquet half off! EMAIL!!!

*With paid personal items and centerpieces.

Paperwhite Narcussus

I love Paperwhites... I think they smell divine (although some are repulsed by their strong odor), I think they have a wonderful linear design, and they look like sweet little stars! This design used paperwhites. Period. I would like to use more of these for future spring events and weddings because they are so seasonal and clean! What do you think?

Simplicity isn't always simple

Simplicity: should be easy right? Wrong. These two arrangments are part of a bigger tablescape and are simplistic in design, they only contain two plant elements. The hard part of simplistic design is to make the whole tablescape flow in the same manner. Next up, the whole tablescape!

Simple Spring Arrangements

I love simple arrangements. On Easter, when I was little I remember it being a lot warmer than it is now. I also remember being able to go into my backyard and cutting lilac branches to put in arrangments for my parents. Where have those warm days gone?! I still like the freshly cut, wild branch look and I think this arrangement says just that: with the exposed stems, the curly willow, the peruvian lily, and the delphinium, this arrangment screams "SPRING" and reminds me that it is just around the corner, or two.

Brigham Young University Idaho

At Brigham Young University in Idaho, we have what are called devotionals every Tuesday. These are hour long meetings every Tuesday where the student body gathers to hear inspirational talks from apostles, businessmen, and leaders in religion and industry. This is where we come in, horticulture students get to make the large floral arrangements to adorn the podium. It is a lot of hard work! Especially in the monthes of December, January, February, March, and yes, even April. It is cold! And we have to keep these large pieces alive, uncrushed, and unfrozen from a drive across campus. Doing these next two pieces made me appreciate large floral pieces everywhere!

The Little Bouts!

Today I would like to bring attention to the small arrangments that are so vital to big events and weddings: Bouttonieres! Bouttonieres add the small little touches and personality into weddings and events that bigger arrangements can't. They help to distinguish the special V.I.P. of events and weddings. And more importantly, they are little snippets of heaven! These bouttonieres included mint leaves, mini roses, Queen Annes Lace, cymbidium orchids, and mokara orchids.
