I don't like to pick favorites, but with Madeline and Ryan's wedding I would be lying if I said it wasn't. She had such a clear vision of the garden style wedding she wanted, with such a unique and beautiful pallet focused on the english rose. So excited to see a few of the photos by Ben Christensen! More from this wedding coming soon!

I had no idea Japanese flowers were so incredible until this spring when I laid my eyes on my very first Japanese ranunculus. They rival peonies with their size, and the beauty of the ruffling petals left my heart fluttering with joy. Ranunculus are already some of my favorite flowers so to see some on such a large and incredible scale was mind blowing. Not to mention the variation of color on the sweet pea, wow that sweet pea. The smell alone is intoxicating, but the size and colors are stunning.

I had no idea that Japanese spirea was a thing either and boy is that a beautiful blooming branch. The movement to spirea is something that has to be experienced. It bounces so beautifully I can't even explain it.

The Japanese sure know how to grow beautiful, beautiful flowers. I can't wait til next Spring when I can play with them again!

One of my very favorite weddings yet. What a beautifully simple one it was. Thanks to my assistant Brenna and my husband Curtis for all their help!

I adore Erika. She's has the most sweet temperament, and she's absolutely the perfect match for my brother Ben (he's a stud right?) When it came to talk about flowers, I knew Erika would be a fun bride to work with because she won't want the norm. For her wedding she wants the colors of the flowers to be the shades of a blueberry with some lighter tones. I can't wait for their wedding day coming up in June!

I find it so odd that no matter what, the first arrangement is always my favorite. Maybe it's because I take a little more time on the first one to come up with the composition I'd like the rest to follow, and I'm obsessive about the color tones being just right.  I ended up with two favorites this time, and these were them, plopped them close to the windows.

I really loved the movement and texture in this arrangement. It was for something pretty cool as well! Can't wait to share.
