Winter Wedding

Here is kind of a funky photo of a cake top that we did this week.

The birds remind me of the cardinals I used to spot in the bare branches of our 

shrubs during the winters that we lived in Massachusetts--good times.

The bride wasn't too attached to the holiday decor at the Market Street Grill 

where she held the wedding brunch so the cake top was the only red and green 

element we provided for the wedding. 

Coming up: photos of the luscious bouquets. 

A Wedding in Blue and White

I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Summur in person until her wedding day, so I was a little nervous that I wouldn't be able to find her wedding party at the Bountiful temple.

Fortunately, the groomsmen were easy to pick from the crowd with 

their beautiful, royal blue ties.

The bouquets await the bride and her bridesmaids.

As you can see, Summur is part of a stunning family.  

Just look at those sisters and cute little nieces of hers.

Summur's beautiful bouquet with Tibet roses, white spray roses and 

royal blue delphinium...Perfect!

Winter Formal

Okay, so maybe we haven't gotten this whole school dance thing figured out.  We've been operating on the assumption that girls would prefer a bouquet to a corsage--I know I would.  However, it seems that the corsage is enjoying a revival amongst the young and style savvy.   Too bad we didn't get the memo before this dance.

I still think I'd go for the bouquet--especially if it looked like this!

A Festive Entrance

We used this simple arrangement for a church function.

Now it's dressing up our basement entry!

Love the reflections off of the silver ball ornaments.

Decorative kale provides a nice base for the bronze urn.

Circus Roses

More fall flowers.

This little beauty will be going with me to visit my mom.  It will look great in her kitchen.

Fall is Here!

I love this arrangement.  Every flower, berry, and leaf came from my yard.  I've been cultivating my garden for five years now with an eye towards being able to do just this--very satisfying.  You don't get much more local than this!

I especially like the unexpected burst of blue with all of the other traditional fall colors.

The arrangement again, this time inside on a window sill.  The vintage pottery is such a luscious color of burnt orange--perfect for this time of year.

Some of my favorite weddings.

Homecoming Flowers

This bouquet was for my son's homecoming date.  I love that these days girls often prefer a bunch of flowers to a corsage.
