{ Dave & Courtney :: The Wedding Day }

Remember the beautiful yellow and grey flowers I arranged for Dave & Courtney's wedding back in May? Well, in case you forgot, their incredible photographer, Kris Sundberg of Burnt Exposure recently posted some pretty amazing pics of their "Big Day" on his blog and I just couldn't help but share a few.

{ Josh & Jade's Wedding :: The Perfect Day }

From day one I knew I was going to LOVE working with this bride. She's beautiful, smart, easy-going, and has a great sense of style! What more could a florist ask for? I truly enjoyed every minute Jade and I spent together designing the flowers for her spectacular wedding! And it sounds like she did too...

{ Dane & Chelsea :: The Reception }

I'm a visual person. No surprise there, right? If I'm going to do something, I have to envision it happening first. This is what happens every time I sit down with a new client and talk flowers. Of course, this wedding for Dane & Chelsea was no different.

I was provided with 13 beautiful white porcelain containers and asked to create a centerpiece that was cheerful and bright, and the rest was up to me! Don't you just love brides like that? So I drew up a few sketches, selected some of my favorite spring blooms, worked a little magic, and voila! My vision was a success.

Be sure to also take a look at the gorgeous garland of lemon leaves she had me create to garnish the wet bar. My talented Mother assisted me in wiring on dozens of fresh lemons, oranges, tangerines, and kumquats. The scent was like a burst of sunshine!

{ Dane & Chelsea :: The Wedding Party }

A lot of times you'll hear people tell you "It's not smart to do business with friends." And in some cases, I can understand why. But I will honestly say, some of the BEST weddings I've done have been for my nearest and dearest friends. Take for example, the Goodsell family. I've known Glen and Amy for years, drove their daughters to early morning seminary, and even babysat their wee ones. So it was truly an honor when they asked me to design the flowers for Dane and Chelsea's special day.

Here are a few images captured by the up-and-coming wedding photographer Lori Sheets after their ceremony in the LDS Newport Beach Temple. Such a beautiful family, beautiful flowers, and beautiful day!
