Lovely Creams and Pinks

These photos were of flowers I did for Tiffany, who is Treasure's daughter. We also decorated a gorgeous mantleplace for the wedding but those (professional) photos will come soon. For now, these will have to suffice! I used cream/light pink peonies, cream david austin garden roses, and pink and cream sweet pea. Very simple... I also couldn't find the right accessory for the handle until I decided to just make these bracelets for it. It all came together then and I couldn't be happier!

Vacation!

For Christmas this year my husband and I got to go on an amazing trip to the Caribbean, namely St. Maarten, St. Barths, and Anguilla, with his whole family! This wasn't an ordinary trip though, we sailed to all of these places! We stayed on catamarans with a cook and a captain who took us to many ports and special places on these islands. It was so fun, and of course I saw many new flowers and plants that I had no idea of what they were.... so I took pictures of them to one day identify them. One of my most favorite places was Pinel, which was on the French side of St. Maarten. It was this teeny island that no one lives on and everyone comes over to play for the day, then leaves at 5:00 pm. We explored it a little bit and found TONS of hermit crabs! I made Bryan take his shirt off to carry them in (I didn't want them to pinch me, they were huge!). We then dug a huge whole in the sand and put them all in there to see if they could get out... they were fiesty! Not like the kind you get at the mall that is painted. This trip was truly and once in a lifetime experience and I wish I could go back!

Yummy

This wedding rocked. Really. The bride was living in California until the week of the wedding so I got to work with the groom. Which, surprisingly, was extremely fun. They wanted something different and really chabby-chic. So we did long tables, with different sized apothecaryn jars with moss and succulents down all of the tables. We then took tons of different types of flowers and put them into the hundreds of bottles the bride had bought at vintage stores all over California. It was gorgeous! And, her bouquet was Delicious! More photos to come! All of the photography was done by the amazing Scott Jarvie of Digital Jarvie, which is based in Salt Lake City. As you can see, he is willing to travel!

Photography

Last week I got to practice my photography skills... on Dana and Brent and Hurley! These are some of my faves...

This wedding was my wonderful friend's Jessica Jacobs at the country club in Idaho Falls... I was so happy that I got to do her flowers because the entire time I was making her bouquet I was thinking about all of the wonderful memories we had of growing up together...I love this girl. We were back-door neighbors since we were five... six? And we would sit on the dividing fence between our houses and just talk... the most descriptive phrase of our friendship was "meet me at the fence". I am so happy she got to marry such a wonderful guy and I am so happy for them. Congrats!! Also, I am in various photography classes(Love the fact that pictures don't DIE!!!) and so I took a stab at the photos myself... although I seriously can't wait to see the professional photos that were done by Robin Spencer photography.

The Malibu Barbie

I will start out by saying that I LOVE this girl and her mother.... they are so fun. They first came to me and told me that they wanted something "not Idaho-e". It was love at first meeting. I was lucky enough to get to work with Kristi Sheriff... and when I get the rest of the wedding photos they will blow your socks off. Here are just a few teaser's from her bridal session.
