Pro shots from summer

Nothing says Great flowers like pro shots. I have to say photographers  are MY BEST friends. I happen to work with some of the best around. When they ask to use my flowers to enhance their photo work it's really hard to say NO.. I get to have some of the best photos taken of my work

 Here you will see a lovely setting of a bride and groom after the wedding has taken place. Kinda a MOCK wedding. Thanks to the very talented http://www.stephaniekaren.com/ I have theses to add to my collection of great flowers. Thanks Stephine ~

Show Stopper

I love the new year January bridal shows, all the inquires from new brides to talk about their flowers. New and inspiring ideas I see all over the web. This past year was no exception I have been wanting to design an all broach bouquet! I LOVE them. The hunt was on I looked  all over high and low to make a vintage bouquet tho my efforts paid off some I did have to break down and buy some "new" pins to add to this bouquet. I think it turned out FAB. all the brides, mothers and really grandmothers just love it. So many ohhh ahhh's made me feel so good. I will say if I had to make one it would cost a small fortune all the time hunting for the little devils is unreal and some are so pricy. I told may brides if they wanted to find the pins I would assemble them for a fee.So here it is my "show stopper" Tell me what you think?

I think it's just fun giving flowers to people. This year I made up this one for a new venue that will be open by spring! it is very close to my home and I would LOVE to do a wedding there. Maybe this will get me the pull I need. Happy Holidays
