A First

I've been a florist for longer than I've been a Mom.
I've loved seeing my sons' friends from baby hood and kindergarten grow up.
I got to design wedding flowers for one of  my son's classmate that I met in his kindergarten!
This was a first for me.  I've done the prom flowers, birthday flowers, first date flowers,
and now, wedding flowers. Kind of cool.
And, Mary was a beautiful and chill bride.  Congratulations, Mary and Josh!

I am loving this year's wedding season! The themes are each so different.

Chelsea's Wedding

Chelsea & Brandon got married July 2nd in the sweetest garden at the Mount Vernon Event Center in Golden.  

One of two waterfalls in the garden

Chelsea's bouquet

Incredibly fragrant bouquet of creamy white "Patience" Garden Roses,
Stephonotis, freesia, stock, mums, and even carnations.
The subtle scent of each of these flowers made a wonderful combination
of fragrance. 

Bridesmaids Bouquets

The bridesmaids wore short chocolate brown dresses, they carried very
sweet and small nosegays of butter cream carnations!

This is why I love what I do.

It's a HOT and casual day today.  A sweet couple came in and she told me he wanted to buy her flowers.  He shooed her away, so it could be a "surprise", and we picked flowers.
I asked the occasion.  He said he is leaving for the army in a few days.
They were just so giddy and sweet.  After he presented her with the bundle of blooms,
I noticed they were just sitting on the swing on the deck. I just had to capture them.

Wedding Get-A-Way.

Natalie called me a couple of months ago to order just one bridal bouquet. Anything I would like to do. Any flower, any color.  She and her fiance', Brandon were flying to Evergreen, Colorado for the weekend to get a way, and get married!
They stayed at the cutest B&B, The Highland Haven. When they arrived, they
just drove around in our beautiful mountains and decided to have the ceremony on a rock that sat in the middle of Bear Creek, at Lair of the Bear.
The officiant, Linda Lehman-Murphy from Heartsongs was amazing at
accommodating the couple.
The photographer, Ms. Cora Kemp owner of C Kemp Shoot Photography and her assistant, Isaac Small, captured the whole event and, as you will see, the photos are stunning!
Just the couple, the officiant, and two photographers and one very fragrant bouquet!

Tara and Darren March Wedding

Tara and Darren had a beautiful late spring wedding.   Simple. She loved purple and she loved sunflowers. Ceremony was held at Rockland Community Church.

Green Peice

I seem to love designs that include the elements of the earth; water, rock, moss, flowers, branches.
Here is a simple design that I made for a client, step by step.
Using only rocks and twigs to anchor the design.
