Flower Friday

Happy Friday!

so lets talk flowers shall we

i love them

{swoon}

i love everything about them

from their colors, fragrance, beauty

to their science, chemistry and genetic make up

{just a little nerdy i know}

how each one is unique and different

how they can brighten up a room

or a day

how they can add elements of personal touch to an event

reflect someones personality

make people smile

and bring joy

there's a flower for every occasion

but my absolute favorite occasion for flowers...

 weddings

flowers for weddings are romantic

joyful

whimsical

lovely

playful

i love getting to create arrangements that are personal

that reflect the relationship between the bride and groom

and capture their personalities

my favorite part about doing weddings flowers

is watching the brides face as she sees her bouquet for the first time

pure joy

i love the way i feel when i get to create and play with flowers

and as i am currently building my portfolio

i get to play with them

a lot

this week inspiration hit

and i ran with it

i decided to play with some different textures

and colors

it was a blast

here's what i got my hands on

{white hydrangea}

{white and purple matsumoto aster}

orange spray roses

{i like that they have multiple flowers per stem}

{pink snapdragons}

{i threw in a couple sprigs of lavender leaves

to give a little bit of fragrance}

and here's what happened

a colorful brides bouquet 

wrapped and tied with sheer cream fabric

and a boutonniere for him

made with lavender sprigs

spray rose and aster

all tied and knotted in twine

stay tuned 

cause there are more flower friday's to come

next week i head to beautiful Huntington Beach

to do a fun tropical beach wedding

this flower girl's pretty excited

happy weekend!
