Monday cutie on a Tuesday: a lovely GWS feature with AH-mazing artists!

Hello all! Where do the days go?? Monday was lost with a great day spent with my husband so here we are on Tuesday. So excited to share this post with you today. We had the pleasure of teaming up with some amazingly talented people for a photo shoot highlighting Lisa Leonard's amazing handcrafted designs. Lisa Leonard's personal creations are perfect for bridesmaids gifts and such, Cameron Ingalls photos make me swoon as usual, Enjoy Cupcakes made our mouths water, Jessi Skipton gave some glam to our models already beautiful faces and Flying Caballos provided the gorgeous backdrop. "True Love Always Wins" was our inspiration with a kick of some sexy equestrian! Ranunculus, freesia, viburnum, tulips and dusty miller complimented everything just right...at least I think!

monday cutie: I am the worst graphic design client ever!

Friends meet Jeremy+Ana Cristina. Jeremy does awesome graphic design via the 805 collective and Ana Cristina is just the sweetest little thing you've ever seen. Jeremy has been helping me as I stumble along the re-branding process for my business. I have been past deadline, indecisive and just completely putting my best type-A face on. Jeremy on the other hand has been patient, kind, helpful and encouraging. I was happy to give back and get decisive about the blooms for their happy day. Enjoy!

Love to Cameron Ingalls for sharing some of his AH-mazing photos!

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: The orchid robber+Miranda and Jake revisited

# 1. An orchid robber you ask? Yes, it's true. Someone stole an orchid from the shop this past week. Here's the story in case you didn't read it in the newspaper. Just kidding it wasn't in the paper...just making sure you were paying attention. So....I had prepared a beautiful cymbidium orchid to send out on delivery and set it in the back of the shop which we sometimes do because space is so limited. When our "Director of Deliveries", Jason, went to find it it had up and walked away from it's happy home. I was, to say the least, distraught at the notion of someone up and making off with a huge plant that wasn't meant for them to take. I called up my...ahem...connection in law enforcement and he quickly came to my aide and tried to track down the thief (they couldn't be that hard to find carrying a huge orchid plant right?). Well as he was driving the perimeter of the shopping center, alas, there it was cut up and left for dead. He continued to make some inquiries and discovered that an employee of a neighboring business had lifted the plant right out from under us. She wanted the blooms so she cut them off and left the plant for it was too large to carry onto the bus. The long story short is: she stole the plant, he found it, we got it back and she got fired. Thanks to that dashing man I know in a uniform for coming to my rescue and bringing the cymbidium back to it's rightful owner. I owe you one. Here's a photo he snapped with his phone when he first made the discovery.

#2. On a happier note a little treat arrived in my mailbox recently from Mirelle Carmichael. It was a sweetly wrapped disk of images from Miranda+Jake's wedding at the Flying Caballos Ranch back in October. You may remember reading a bit about their feature on the wedding chicks...if you don't go ahead and click here. I was happy to have the images all to myself to share so without further a-due please check them out below!
