Knutson Wedding

Lemon blossom's next wedding is upon us! The bride is Erin Knutson and her fabulous colors are chartreuse green, platinum, and black. How modern yet retro! Her bouquet will be made of white peonies, green parrot tulips, green heleborus, mini cymbidium orchids, white anemones with black centers, and .... lady slipper orchids! Sound delicious? I can't wait to show you!

Ashley and Jarom!

Hooray!!!! Remember a few posts back when I was talking about Audrey Hepburn Style? HERE IT IS! Ashley and Jarom Mooso's pictures are up. The AMAZINGLY talented Amelia Lyon from So Cal. came up and took these awesome shots at the Temple and the Hilton in Idaho Falls. The colors were black, gold, and ivory and the bride wanted lots of sparkle. Mission Accomplished! Check them out at: http://www.amelialyon.net/.

Start Up Surprise

I have decided that every month this next year I am going to pick a color palette and offer anyone in the area (East Idaho to Jackson Hole) a free BRIDAL bouquet and grooms boutonniere (with minimum purchase of centerpieces). This can save a bride and groom up to $300 and is an AWESOME opportunity for both brides and myself! This is the way it will work, starting in January, I will post a color palette with pictures of inspiration on my blog, and the lucky bride who is first to email me will be the winner! I already have the colors palettes all picked out... perhaps they are your colors?!! Guess we will see in January!

Why I Picked Lemon Blossom Designs

Everyone always wants to know why I picked Lemon Blossom Designs. The reason is because I have a love affair with all things fresh and beautiful, namely flowers and fruit. Obviously I love flowers, and I currently own my very own citrus fruit tree. When I think of the word fresh, lemon is the first image to pop into my mind, with it's lush clean scent and its bright and cheery disposition. Blossoms connote everything sweet and clean. These two elements inspired me so much that I decided to name my business Lemon Blossom Designs. My hope is that my creations will always embody the nature of their names: Fresh, Clean, and Sweet!

Candy Bar

I absolutely adore candy and anything with sugar in it. It is no surprise then that I am a big promoter of the candy bar. Although one might think that candy is inexpensive, think again! You have to buy the apothecarian jars ($15-500) each and then buy enough candy for each jar to fill it twice. The best place I have seen candy for is candyarehouse.com. It sorts the candies by theme, category, and color. I think they add a whimsical and innocent touch to any wedding. Yummm!

I also get to work for a couple of days with Rebecca Feeney with Custom Event Group in Napa. These ladies are the some of the best in the wedding industry and I love learning all I can from them! Can't wait!

Lemon Blossom Designs Is Starting Up

I am so excited, I have a logo, my website is being made (custom, by the fabulous Ocean Front Studios), and I just ordered my business cards. It is finally happening! Also, I am working with the most adorable girl on her wedding, Ashley Transtrum, who is getting married September 25th, 2009. Her chic colors are ivory, black, and gold, with accents of diamonds and pearls. Talk about Audrey Hepburn style! Can't wait.

The Signature Lemon Blossom

This bouquet was probably one of my favorite because of the light zest that it irradiated around the room! It was for an April bride from Oregon who wanted soft yellows with cobalt blue... I think we got it right! The bouquet contains Duchesse de Nemours peonies, double ruffled cream tulips, cream sweetpea, and a soft geranium collar. Check out later for more pictures from the wedding!

The D.I. Bouquet

My D.I. Belt Bouquet

For a school final project our teacher said that we had to go to D.I. (a second-hand store) and find an item that would not normally be in a bouquet and incorporate it. Well I went to D.I. and could not find anything!!! Everything was hideous, until I hit the belt rack. This really got my brain going, there were so many colors and styles! I finally decided on classic tans, navys, and stripes and decided that my bouquet would have a nautical theme. This is how it turned out and I LOVE IT. It has huge china mums, luscious hydrangea, sweet freesia, Dutch double ruffled cream tulips, ranunculus, crystal blush anemones, and a rarity, helleborus. I liked using the belts so much that I actually might use belts to wrap bouquets again! I think it adds another extra detail. Love, love, love it.
