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!

Monday Cutie!

So October is here and with it comes pumpkins, dry falling leaves, chilled afternoons, scarves, boots and hot tea during the middle of the day (except today's tea was iced because it was about 90 degrees!). I find myself getting anxious in the fall. Anxious for the arrival of winter and all my favorite flowers like viburnum, anemones, ranunculus, tulips and hyacinths. For now I'll have to enjoy the cute mini pumpkins, artichokes, liquid amber branches, chinese lanterns and an occasional anemone from time to time. What are your fall favorites?

Kelly+Nick

Kelly and Nick were married May 1. The very awesome Jonathan @ Bluephoto has already, yes already, given me some of the fabulous images of the wedding. Kelly fits in that awesome group of clients that were so easy to work with! She was prepared and knew what she wanted which made my job so very easy. Congrats Kelly and Nick - happiness to you always.

Fun with Jonathan @ Bluephoto

I needed a head shot and asked Jonathan @ Bluephoto if he'd be willing. He replied with can I come down to the shop @ 2pm today and I, of course, said great! He came over to the shop and we had a mini shoot right there in the shop. He got right into work mode and away we went...with a lot of fun along the way. Thanks for such a fun afternoon stint Jonathan! Here are some of my favs....
