{ Erin & Cole :: For Time & All Eternity }

I've had the pleasure of working with a lot of wonderful couples over the last year, but I can honestly say that this wedding was one of the sweetest! Words can't describe the love I have for the Roche family. They have been among our family's closest friends for nearly 20 years. So it's no wonder that I put my heart and soul into these beautiful flowers for their daughter Erin's wedding.

Together Cole & Erin were joined for time and all eternity in the Newport Beach LDS Temple and it was a glorious day to be apart of, as I was privileged to attend the ceremony and later celebrate with them at their Laguna Niguel reception. It was truly a day I will remember fondly forever. Congratulations Erin & Cole. I love you both and wish you all the happiness in the world!

And on a sidenote: The last two pics are my favorite! The DJ was my handsome brother Scotty who I miss like crazy (he's attending school right now at BYU-Hawaii). And the last one is my victory picture! I wore my highest heels in hopes of snatching up that coveted bouquet and I did! I think that means I'm next? Let's hope so!

{ Brian & Tiffany :: A Simply Succulent Wedding }

Over the last few months I've had the pleasure of designing some exquisite flowers! These beauties I created for Brian and Tiffany's Hacienda Wedding this weekend are among some of my favorites! Mostly because I LOVE working with succulents. They just have this unique ability to transform an ordinary grouping of flowers into an extraordinary one. But don't take my word for it. Go ahead and see for yourself!

{ Happy Birthday Flowers }

Today my beautiful friend Amanda turned 24. And for her 24th birthday, her adorable boyfriend Nephi asked if I'd put together a little something for her dessert party. This is what I made. Hope she loved it! I think it's quite lovely.

{ Colin & Lauren :: The Wedding Video }

What a wedding!!! It's one thing to see beautiful photographs of the weddings flowers you designed for someone, but it's even better when you get to see the whole wedding day in action. Check out this beautiful couple, with their beautiful flowers, on their beautiful wedding day! Congrats again Colin and Lauren!

{ Introducing :: Mr. & Mrs. Floyd }

This wedding was so much fun to be a part of! My dear friend Nicole called me up on afternoon back in July to let me know her littler sister's wedding florist fell through and asked if I'd be interested in designing the flowers. The only catch? The wedding was just 4 short weeks away.

Of course I love a challenge just as much as I love Nicole, so I accepted and went straight to work. Within a matter of days the flower selections were set, the supplies ordered, and we were well on our way to a picture perfect wedding.

And wasn't it just that! Picture perfect. Here are a few shots Nicole shared with me of the Mr. & Mrs. on their beautiful August wedding day.

{ Colin & Lauren :: The Wedding Day }

I've been waiting patiently for friend and photographer, Rachel Thurston, to return from her many travels around the world to post pics of this absolutely GORGEOUS wedding I had the pleasure of designing flowers for back in July. But I didn't mind waiting because I knew they would be good. And oh are they so so so good!

You really outdid yourself this time Rachel! Maybe it's that baby on board! :) Thanks again for capturing the beauty of this couple, their flowers, and their magical wedding day!

{ Dan & Autumn :: Sunny Summer Wedding }

Several weeks ago I was busy tying up a bouquet for this beautiful bride's July wedding. As I peered through the window panes, I thought the day was doomed to the foggy remnants of June gloom.

Luckily, when the flowers arrived at the Newport Beach LDS Temple, they brightened things right up. Literally! Take a look...

Dan & Autumn, thank you again for sharing these gorgeous photographs of your sunny southern California wedding. I hope the sun shines on you both forever and always!

{ Cole & Erin :: Summer Sunset Wedding }

Many months ago at my floral consultation with the Erin, I had this crazy idea to create her flowers around a tropical summer sunset. You know, kinda like the one you see HERE. I thought it would be the perfect pop of color to compliment her black, ivory, and gold color palette. Plus, it's August and who doesn't love some warm, vibrant blooms to set the summertime mood!

I chose to build the bouquets around this gorgeous, no, exquisite Baroness Garden Rose, and fluffed it up with some other rich blooms like lisianthus, freesia, and astilbe. And to cool things off a little, I added some fragrant mint leaves. I think they're the perfect addition to this picture-perfect bouquet.

Stay tuned for more pictures of the beautiful flowers designed for the couple's reception at a private residence in Laguna Niguel. Think summer fruits, flowers, and lots of fun!
