Monday cutie: Emily+Steve

Hello friends and happy Monday! Here's a little cutie for you of Emily+Steve's lovely day. They were married at the Santa Margarita Ranch and despite the rainy day everything turned out beautiful - largely in part to Alana over at Love Me Simple! Alana helped to get the day off without a hitch and ease Emily's rainy nerves. Thanks also to Samuel Potter for suppling us with some superb images from the day!

Monday cutie: sneak peak of some super yummy-ness

Can I say that you just might have your socks knocked off when you see the full post from this lovely inspiration shoot we did with a super star team? Well, yes, I can and you will BUT you'll have to wait! For now here's a teaser. xo

Monday cutie: Sun Valley Idaho, a custom wedding dress and dear friends

Hello friends! This week's Monday cutie coming at you on a Thursday....the shop was super busy making lots of Valentines happy and so I, sadly, had to neglect the monday cutie. Better late than never right? So...meet Danielle and Drew. Danielle and I first met working together at a local flower shop during our college years. We quickly struck up a friendship and so did our boyfriends (now hubby's)! We worked together for a couple of years and then when I started up my own flower shop Danielle came on board with April Flowers. She played an instrumental role in getting the shop off the ground by providing support, love and beautiful designs. She is someone who is highly organized and on her game which really helped me stay on task during the difficult adjustment into the life of a business owner! Shortly after Drew asked Danielle to be his wife (she of course said yes!) it was only fitting that she ask me to create the flowers for her wedding...there was only one catch....it was going to be in Sun Valley Idaho. We finally got all the details worked out and off to Sun Valley we went! Danielle loved the soft garden-ish pastels but also has a thing for tropicals so we blended the two for a rich display of color and romance. Be sure to take a second look at Danielle's one of a kind, hand made for her specifically, beautiful wedding dress - every girls dream right? Here's so shots from Kristin Cheatwood of the flowers and the beautiful day Josh and I were able to be a part of. Love, love, love to you two always.

Monday cutie: The Hames+Style Me Pretty, Valentine's day and a winner!

Meet Sarah+Matt Hames. See Sarah in her gorgeous red dress....yes, a RED dress! I met Sarah @ Cal Poly and our type-a highly organized personalities struck us up a quick friendship. She and her handsome groom Matt are long time loves and I was over the top excited when she asked me to put together the blooms for their SLO wedding this past fall. Jonathan Roberts over at Bluephoto took some fabulous images of the day and I'm so happy to have been a part of it all. It was especially fun for me to create the flowers but then also stay for the party and celebrate their new journey. Flying Caballos was the perfect compliment to Sarah's red dress and all the details were just so perfectly them. Style Me Pretty thought so too! See the front page feature by clicking here!

On another happy note we have a winner of a special prezzie from April Flowers! My husband Josh was actually the closest guess but that just wouldn't be cool so.....the happy recipient of a lovely prezzie from April Flowers goes to Michelle Zulim! A super sweet client who took a chance on me when I was still so new to the industry. Congrats Michelle!
