lots of blue

So I just found out I'm having a boy!  Which means, I'm going to be really in to the color blue for a little while  :)  So to celebrate my excitement, here's a little flashback to some blue wedding flowers from last summer.

And if blue is one of your wedding colors, don't let anyone tell you there aren't blue flowers.  There's your proof!  That is the actual color of those flowers.  So beautiful!

orange and brown

My cousin is getting married this spring, and her colors are orange and brown.  These colors are typically thought of as fall colors, but I love the idea of using them for a spring wedding.  I put together a few ideas that try to take a little more vibrant and lively twist on this color scheme.  A few of the pictures are still a little more fall/winter feeling, but that's ok.

Congratulations cous'!  :)  Your wedding will be gorgeous!

happy new year!

So, I'm a few days past New Year's, but we can still celebrate, right?  And to add to the celebration, I wanted to let you know about our New Year's Special!  You'll get 25% off your bridal party flowers*  or a Free Toss Bouquet when you book The Flower Girl for your wedding!

This special will be in effect for all weddings booked by the end of February, regardless of when the actual wedding is.

*Bridal party flowers include all bridesmaid bouquets and groom and groomsmen boutonnieres.

merry christmas time!

I was making a wreath to hang on our door for Christmas, and simply couldn't resist the urge to put it on our puppy first.  She was a great (though reluctant and constantly moving) model.  :)  This was before I had finished the wreath too - didn't really want her destroying too much!  Maybe I'll post a finished picture later.

featured wedding on the utah bride blog!

I'm really excited about the fact that a wedding I worked on a few months back is being featured today on the Utah Bride Blog!  It's a great blog that features weddings and vendors around the state, and gives great advice and ideas to Utah brides.  Check out my Flower Friday feature on utahbrideblog.com!

something old...

For this sign-in table piece, we used a family heirloom vase, bringing in the traditional "something old."  And it matched the wedding colors, so it was perfect!  We also used the dusty pink spray roses in other bouquets and arrangements to tie in the detail on the vase.

So if you're looking for your "something old" or just like that vintage feel, before you start digging through thrift stores, talk to your grandmas or other relatives - that's where this great vase came from!

a different shade of purple

After the recent surge of weddings featuring dark purple, it was kind of fun to do one in light purple.  Lavender, if you will.  :)  This couple got married about a month ago back east, but had an open house here in Utah this past weekend, and I had the opportunity to make a bouquet and some centerpieces for them.

Here is the bouquet

I used lavender roses and Fuji mums, with white pixies, and white and purple alstro.  The roses kept a traditional feel, but the mums added a little fun, texture, and interest.  It was tied with a silky white ribbon. (you can just barely see it in the bottom corner of the top photo)

Here's the centerpiece for the sign-in table.
