BHS Tolo 2013

Lindsay and Ben

To coordinate with Lindsay's stunning dress, I sourced the perfect shade of cobolt blue delphinium blooms and accented with  ivory dendrobium orchids for the wrist corsage and matching men's boutonniere. Looks like Ben got the memo on Lindsay's dress color, a perfect shirt and tie combo.... ADORABLE!

Henry and Kim

I just love Kim's dress....Henry asked me to design Kim's wrist corsage around a color palate of black and brown. I used white ranunculas, white orchids and tucked a couple of small black and white checkered feathers into the mix! Nice choice, Henry.

With much appreciation to Margie for sharing these images.

Happy smiles and oh, such a cute couple! I coordinated Kayla and Jake's Tolo flowers to compliment Kayla's amazing dress and shoes, ivory dendrobium orchid blooms with gold emebellishments.

Thanks for sharing, Pam.



Hannah and Lars

Katja, Hannah's mom sent me the fab photo montage above of her beautiful daughter, Hannah and her date, Lars, taken just before the Tolo festivities.

Thank you so much, Katja..... I really do appreciate her thoughtfulness!

Lars' boutonniere is a cymbidium orchid with three small guinea feathers tucked in for a little spot of whimsey! Hannah's favorite flowers are orchids......mine, too!

Jenn & John's Wedding at the Clearwater Resort Casino and Spa

Friday, March 1st 2013

A US Navy wedding!
John is a US Sub Mariner with papers in hand to ship out soon. So, this wonderful couple brought their wedding date forward to accommodate his departure.
I first  met Jenn and John at the West Sound Wedding Show in January, and was delighted to be asked to design their wedding flowers.
With a color palate of green, brown and ivory, Jen choose a Pacific NW style bouquet of ivory roses, swartzwalder callas and green hypericum berries, in keeping with the beautiful surroundings of their wedding venue.
And, I could hardly believe it when I met their wedding bagpiper in the elevator while I was delivering their flowers! My bride was being piped in up the aisle by a Scottish Bagpiper, too cool!

Side note: Caden their 6, (nearly, 7 years old) son greeted me at the door of the bridal suite wearing a t-shirt that said "I'm the ring cleaner!" and announced to me  "Do you want me to clean your ring, too".  I gratefully obliged.

Clearwater Casino Resort & Spa Bridal Open House

We were introduced to lots of soon-to-be married couples and corporate clients who had booked the Clearwater Resort's facilites for the upcoming year.
