Yovanna's Wedding

I got to head to the "east" side for today's wedding...Summit Avenue in St. Paul and the Science Museum. Since spring almost never came this year, I was still able to get peonies for one last wedding...yeah! I loved how it looked with the calla lillies and freesia! I also thought it was fun that she wanted some bear grass looped around the edges. The centerpieces had a bunch of pieces to pull together, and most of the glassware was rented, but when it was put together, it looked great. My only regret is that I didn't take a picture of the whole room at the Science Museum, I couldn't believe how well the space transforms from a cafeteria space into a wedding venue, it was awesome!

Karin's Wedding

June has been a super rainy month here in MN and today was no exception. Last week while at the Calhoun Beach Club, it poured as I was setting up. Today, it poured again while I was setting up at the park for Karin's reception. I only pray that it stopped for a bit so she could have her ceremony out at the Arboretum. I love the soft pinks matched with light blue of this wedding. Out at Lake Ann Park where the reception was held, it was neat to see all the details that the couple added in to make it personal...they rented a bouncer for the kids, and set up a bunch of lawn games...I think this wedding would have been lots of fun!

Heather Drake's Wedding

Heather's wedding this weekend was every florists' dream! I have been "playing" with flowers for over 10 years now and I finally got to design for a bride that was having her reception at the Calhoun Beach Club! I have so wanted to go there for years, and it was as beautiful as I thought it would be! Too bad my camera battery died by the time I got there...I have seen some professional shots though and will post them soon, they were awesome! This wedding was also amazing because I got to use Peonies and Hyrangeas! I also got to use my two favorite colors, Pink and Purple! I think my favorite part about this wedding was how the pew flowers doubled up as table centerpieces down the center of the huge oval head table...professional shots later will show you what I mean, it was a long and busy weekend!

Sara's Wedding

This weekends' wedding was all about color and it was so much fun! I love each and every wedding that I get to design because it involves my most favorite thing, flowers...but this one brought a ton of color into my house and got me excited for summer! Sara had a fun idea for her flowers, and wanted each of her bridesmaids' to carry a monochromatic bouquet, while her bouquet was then a mix of all the colors. This wedding also held a "deja-vu" moment, where I delivered the flowers to her church, and realized that I had been there before, but it was like 7 years ago! The wedding coordinator at the church was the same as before...small world...and even smaller that she remembered me! Super fun day!

Val's Wedding

This weekend was a holiday weekend so I figured that I could handle designing for two weddings. The first was for a super sweet bride that works with my eye doctor. I loved how she wanted to use a combination of purple and yellow. She also used my most favorite flower...purple hydrangea. I wish I could've seen how the bouquet looked later when the purple tulips opened...but of course I have to give my brides the flowers when they are at their freshest!

Amanda's Wedding

One of my old co-workers at Wooddale Church was married this weekend up in White Bear Lake and I was honored to be chosen as their floral designer. The bride knew just what she wanted for her flowers, and it all centered around a rich mix of red flowers! The garden roses added a rich texture, as well as the ranuculus that we almost weren't able to get. I was so excited about how it all turned out. My favorite part was how I finished off her bouquet by wrapping an old family handkerchief and pendant. I hope to get some professional shots, so please check back.

Jessica's Wedding

Tulips were in full bloom for this beautiful spring wedding! I again was super excited to design this weekend, but most of all excited to say that I got to bring flowers to a venue that I have always dreamed of going to...the 50th floor of the IDS! I can't wait to post some professional shots from this wedding, because even the ceremony site was amazing! I love the simplicity and elegance of all parts of this wedding...I just wish I could've seen what the tulips looked like later in the day when they opened up!
