Dawn's Anniversary Celebration

Today I had the honor of designing centerpieces for a 25th Wedding Anniversary open house. The bride had originally used pink and white in her bouquet and wanted to bring those colors into todays' arrangements. I can only hope that in about another decade I can do more anniversary arrangements for some of my brides!

Danielle's Wedding

I again had the honor of being referred by one of my dear friends and former brides today! It was a gorgeous September day, and perfect for Danielle's special day! The wedding was sophisticated and formal, so the red roses, black mini callas and fiddlehead fern really popped against the dresses! I love how the bride used the roses from the pew bouquets to finish off our centerpieces at the reception. Flowers can get spendy, and the more uses each arrangement has...the better!

Allie's Wedding

Allie was one of my first brides to use Pinterest to it's fullest potential and I loved it!!!!!  Her amazing wedding was held at a beautiful rustic barn in Eden Prairie...and let me tell you...no detail was left undone!  Allie's stunning bouquet was so romantic and filled with soft pink garden roses, Anna roses, white lisanthus, white ranuculus, white stock and heather. I also loved her centerpieces...woodden boxes made by the father-of-the-bride and filled loosley with a mix of white and blush pink flowers. Like always, I can't wait to see the professional pics from this wedding!  Everything was so detailed and unique, it looked picture perfect for a magazine.

Aly's Wedding

Todays wedding was super close to home and what an amazing summer day it was. Congrats Aly, thanks for letting me be a part of your big day! I loved how her purple and ivory bouquet turned out. Her bouquet had all my favorites, ivory roses, purple freesia, purple lisanthus, and seeded euc.

Ashleigh's Wedding

One of Brad's co-workers was in need of a florist for his daughters' intimate wedding, and I was the lucky designer they chose! Since the couple didn't have too long to plan the big day, and the wedding was outside at a beautiful farm stead, not too many flowers were needed from me. Here is a shot of the bouquet she wanted me to make for her! I have never gotten to do anything this different before...I loved the white stock paired with the Green Cymbidium Orchids, Yellow Mini callas, and White Lizzy.  Thank you Scott and Michelle for letting me design Ashleigh's wedding flowers, it was so great working with you!

Lisa's Wedding

A dear friend from church got me this job today...to design flowers for her brother-in-law's wedding. There is no better compliment than when your friends refer you! I loved the light purples used throughout Lisa's wedding. I hope to share some professional pics soon, because my camera didn't do these flowers justice.

Kathy's Wedding

This weekend I had the sheer delight of working with a wonderful bride! Kathy's enthusiasm and postive attitude is contagious! A super fun element of this wedding was that Kathy wanted to add in a few butterflies as accents, and if you look close enough, you will find one in her bouquet, the centerpieces, and on the cake!

Kristin's Wedding

Fall is in the air for both of my wedding designs this weekend! This is one of the maids bouquets from Kristin's wedding. It was a beautiful mix of Black Magic roses, Leonidas roses, Leucadendron, Mokara orchids, and Hypericum berries.

Samantha's Wedding

Even though it doesn't feel like fall yet in Minnesota...the colors of flowers are starting to take on more of a "fall" theme as we enter September. The combination of red roses and orange roses along with hypericum berries and orange mini callas always looks amazing! I love the touch of Lucadendrom and Kangaroo Paws though too! My favorite part was the light touches of curly willow tips that I added to the bridal bouquet just before I delivered it. A beautiful day for a beautiful bride! Congrats Samantha!

Julie's Wedding

My sweet old co-workers sister got married today, Julie! It is so fun working with the Nelson's and getting to play a small part in one of their most special of days! Julie picked fun pinks for her flowers, and used all my favorites, roses, freesia, cymbidium orchids, and lizzy! Congratulations Julie, I pray your day was amazing and I thank you for choosing me to be your florist!

Gina's Wedding

Pink is still popular this year as you can see, and I got to do another "pretty in pink" design this weekend! Roses, Orchids, and Mini Callas, all very classic and stunning, made up Gina's beautiful wedding today at Hazeltine Golf Course in Chaska. My gratitude goes out to my dear friend Rachel for referring me to Gina...her cousin. Congrats Gina, you looked beautiful!

Melissa's Wedding

Melissa's wedding flowers were all soft petal pink...it was gorgeous! I only got to design her bridal bouquet, which consisted of 40 pink mini callas...and I wish had put more in, and then I got to place tons of soft pink stargazer lilies on all of the tables...on the boat. Melissa had an awesome reception on a boat on Lake Minnetonka! Melissa was a stunning bride and I was honored to be part of her special day!

Stephanie's Wedding

I had the honor to design flowers for the sister of one of my brides' from a few years ago today! I so love getting to see the families again, and I feel like there is no better compliment that a person can give you, then to use you again. It was again super hot today, and I was praying hard that her flowers would hold up! I love all flowers and colors, but the soft purples and whites that Stephanie chose was so pretty! I can't wait to see some professional shots of this wedding, even though I didn't design too much for this wedding, it's still fun to see all the fun that was had on their special day!

Alicia's Wedding

My awesome neighbor Jamie, referred me to Alicia, one of her best friends', and I was lucky to be chosen as her floral designer! I loved the blue and green color scheme she chose...but most of all I loved the look of her all-white traditional bouquet! The dahilas, roses, hydrangea, and mini callas looked amazing together! The greatest part was getting to see my neighbor all dressed up in her bridesmaids dress for the wedding, and later hearing how well the wedding went and that everyone loved the flowers! Yeah, mission accomplished, Happy Bride!!

Kristen's Wedding

This weekend the heat was on in Minnesota, but luckily Kristen's wedding wasn't ruined at all, and all were kept cool indoors at both venues. I loved the choices she made for her bridal bouquet, Vendela Roses, White Hydrangea, White Mini Callas, Mini Green Cymbidium Orchids, Stephanotis, and White Hypericum Berries. Her bridal party and the rest of the reception was splashed with bright color...my favorites, pink, yellow, and orange! I also had a blast decorating the cake, it was the first time I got to make a cascade of flowers on a cake, and I love how it turned out!
