Jackson Hole Wedding!

It is so nice to be in Jackson with my daughters and beautiful granddaughters. The days are warm and sun filled and the sky is a bright blue with a few feathery clouds floating by. I have enjoyed being outside working in the yard and gardens to spruce them up before the rehearsal dinner. It is almost here Bailey and Alfred! I am so excited to see all of our family in one place again.

These are a sampling of some of the flowers I have done this past spring that are a bit more formal. The boutonniere is from Ryan's Spring formal and the bouquets were from my advanced class this spring. I am looking forward to lending a hand for Bailey and her bridesmaids.

Wedding Flowers

Spring Formal Flowers

Yellow, blue and white are some of my favorite colors - especially in flowers. Each of the colors seem to pop and say "smile!"

Sweet Emily

Emily gathered these bright ruffled poppies and wheat shafts from the side of the road on her way home from work. I love their cheery faces and how they brighten any table - indoors or out! Playing with flowers and learning to be creative with arrangements - arranging and rearranging until I am content with their display - is becoming very important to me.

Simple Beauty

I love being able to step out into my yard and find wonderful flowers to create bouquets with and bring inside. These roses are simply garden roses - not the long stemmed variety we find at the grocery store and market but oh so fragrant! I gathered them together with some leaves from what I believe is a type of bamboo plant to make a hand tied bouquet. I am excited to actually use the information I received in my classes.

New Beginnings

My life seems to be full of new beginnings. Loving flowers is not new - but stepping out to be creative with flowers and sharing it with others is new. I do hope that I will be able to reach out and meet new friends and shower their special events with beautiful flowers. Watch as I learn how to maneuver a blog (something new) and a business.
