Fresh Fuschia (Repost)




Thank you so much to Christa for sending me so many pro photos of all the flowers!

The photographer took so many crisp pics of the flowers that it was hard to choose which ones to post. But, I think the couple just looked fabulous and the bright fuschia complemented their style.

Loving the Lavender (Repost)




Special thanks to Karen for sending me some gorgeous and fun photos of her wedding!

I had to re-post to show off her lovely lavender day. It looked like a lot of fun, wish I could have been there, but glad that the flowers on take-out worked out so well!

Girlie Pink Wishes


A friend who was hosting a baby shower asked me to do a couple of elegant pieces to help decorate the event. When I saw the most adorable little pink tipped tulips, I knew I had to use them!

These included light pink lilies, delicate pink tipped white tulips, ivory lisianthus, and matching mums. The bases are wrapped in ti leaves.

Fresh Fuschia

What started as a cloudy day turned into the perfect beach wedding for Christa and Trey! Fuschia can come in many shades and these highlighted all the right hues.

The bridal bouquet was white lisianthus, hot pink "Topaz" roses, bicolor "Carrousel" roses, a few fuschia dendrobium orchids, and baby's breath underneath. There are a few touches of crystal hidden in the lisianthus if you look closely! For the bridesmaids, the same flowers were used except for the orchids. The centerpieces were the roses along with some amazing darker fuschia garden roses I found, as well as pink alstroemeria. All of the other pieces had some combination of those flowers, including the arch that was deemed "fake" because it turned out so beautifully. (I'm a little proud of that). The bride's mother looked wonderful in teal with a hot pink corsage accent.

The bride and her family were a joy to work with and I wish them all the best!
