seneca & chris 8.23.08

oh this one was fun...but a HUGE amount of work. i'm still sleepy from the long weekend. i'm not to talkative at the moment, so instead i'll just let the flowers speak for themselves...keep in mind everything smelled like mixed herbs, mint, sage, corriander...yummmmm! 

mary & ross 8.16.08

so this past weekend i had the pleasure of attending a wedding! imagine that!? its not so often that i get to do the flowers and am allowed to enjoy their end result. mary and ross are folks i've known since high school...ross since middle school. i was so excited to be able to take tons of pictures of all the little details i always miss, and i did. then my camera went missing...needless to say i wasnt a happy camper. did anybody find it? no? didnt think so...

well anyway, i did manage to take some bouquet shots before the wedding and happily stole this image of mary cracking up (something i love about her...she's got a great laugh) off of a facebook album. so...well enjoy. this upcoming weekend is FULL of stuff to do, our largest wedding of the summer and another one involving MANY jellybeans...stay tuned folks. 

lisa & tuli 8.9.08

sorry we've been off the map for a little bit. its been quiet and raining, oh the rain...i feel as if we all might float away. i keep thinking to myself that maybe autumn will be perfect...sunny, warm and perfect. at this point i highly doubt it though...i'm sure we're in for snow in september or something off the wall like that. maybe a tsunami? oh wait...we're not close to the ocean, but stranger things have happened. 

as for store going-ons we are now into our first weekend of wedding CRAZINESS. 2, 3, 6 weddings on one day...yes you read that correctly. 6 in one day...ugh....wait for it. 

so this past weekend i enjoyed that fact that we only had one...a nice simple classic red rose wedding. havent done one of these in a very long time...but it was a nice break from the usual (or the not so usual like we tend to lean towards) so with that said i'll leave you with this simple shot of the brides bouquet and tell you that next weekends wedding will be a good one, i even got invited (thanks mary!) so i'll have lots of fantastic shots to share...off to stare at the rain, once again...

lisa & art 7.26.2008

i love these little woodsy numbers...perfect for lisa and art's outdoor pigroast. relaxed, and fun and loaded with texture. i'm actually pretty fond of these, if i do say so myself...

oh summer.

oh summer, your colors are just to much fun. thats all for now....

eamon and abby 7.12.2008

this weekend miss abby and her sweet hubby eamon tied the knot. i haven't made a traditional all white bridal bouquet in a long white but i have to say...i liked this one very much. it looked so fresh, almost like sugar flowers...i had a moment saturday afternoon thinking that things were going to brown and not look so happy for the wedding (stephanotis...the little star shaped ones with the pearl tend to slowly turn brown in the correct humidity...they're so pretty and smell so nice, but really give florist the willies for this very reason) 

well, seeing abby and eamon this morning, complete with big hugs and smiles made everything better. i love a big hug early on a monday morning. 

missing in action

sorry, yes we have been missing in action around these parts. things are quiet, summer is beautiful, the 4th of july was a well deserved long weekend...and now things are getting back to normal. very cute wedding this weekend (yes...pictures will be on the way, promise!) 

just wanted to say we hadnt forgotten you lovely people and we promise we'll be back in the swing of things asap. but now we'll leave you with this picture of the most beautiful poppy ever. she's on her way to the big trash can in the sky, but sometimes things are ever more beautiful towards the end.

anna's birthday 6.26.2008

yup, a birthday...a big birthday at that. anna has been a really great customer of the shop since the first year when she threw her husband a surprise 40th birthday party and had use do some of the most fun centerpieces to date. all i have to say is, champagne bottles balanced at quirky angles and tropical flowers, lots of tropical flowers. so, to return the favor her husband and friends are surprising her with a huge pig roast. looks like fun to me, and i loveeeeeee the napkins. 

allison & paul revisited

professional shots of paul and allison's may 25th wedding. they're lovely. 

whitewhitewhite

things are awfully white around here...its a nice change from the copious amounts of pink that we've been dealing with for the last few weeks. white is fresh, and strangely modern now that brides tend to stay away from it opting out of the traditional bridal white. hey, whats old is new again i suppose. i like it. white flowers always remind me of wedding cakes, perfect blooms like sugar flowers. although, i doubt they would taste as nice.

check out the gorgeous luna moth i found on my walk to the mail box yesterday morning...she/he whatever it is was just hanging on to the side of the building in the rain...i wanted to rescue it and take thousands of pictures. in the end i left her there and mitchel took the picture as i was just to short to get a good capture....here, get your daily knowledge. consider it a gift from me to you.
