Dreaming of a White Christmas

Happy Monday everyone. This weekend was super busy, but in the best way. Starting on Thursday with the Ric Rac Roundup, the bi-annual craft show put on by the lovely ladies at bon bon atelier. I had fun hanging with some of my favorite crafty KC ladies, and sold work to both new and old customers.

Saturday was the "Night of Style" presented by Speak Salon and Style and Pepper. For that event I created a mock table display showcasing some fun flower arrangements. Again a great (and stylish) group of ladies.

After looking at my pictures I realized I definitely lean toward whites with pops of bright color when it comes to holiday displays. I've got one more holiday event still to come. More details later this week...

Blog Crush: Studio Choo

I was told to check out Studio Choo's floral design by my sweet friend Jessie.  I have to say that I've been drooling over their blog every since.  They have a group shop called the Prarie Collective in San Francisco, that carries lots of lovely items besides fresh flowers.  I love their floral design style, and when I grow up I want to have a beautiful shop just like them.  Seriously, check them out.  No do it, like right now!

These dahlias...I die!

Ric Rac Roundup time!

Today is the holiday Ric Rac Roundup, and I'm so excited.  I've been busting butt this week to crank out some final new jewelry designs so that I can have a nice full display and lots of goodies for people to choose from.  If you are in Kansas City you should come to this FREE event and buy local and handmade gifts for all your friends and family this year.

See you there!

For the Love of Flowers: Blue, Green, and White

This wedding season it's been easy to see the trends as I look back on all the work we've done.  One thing we've had a lot of this year has been cool colors like purples, blues, and greens.  This weekend we had two weddings and they were no exception:

There aren't many blue flowers in nature, but these delphiniums and iris take the cake!

A Spot of Tea (and Light)

Hello lovelies.  Monday it is, and despite waking up with a horrible migraine (which still hasn't subsided after hours of resting), I've decided to soldier on.  The Ric Rac Round-up is this week and I've much to do so I figured I better get to work.  

Today I wanted to share these lovely lights that I found awhile ago on Kingdom of Style.  They are simply adorable, and while I love the light fixture in my kitchen, I'd take some of these hanging over my prep island in a heart beat.

For the Love of Flowers: Heidi and Zeb Part II

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Heidi and Zeb's wedding was one of funnest I've worked on this year.  The flowers were beautiful, and I worked hand in hand with Heidi to create and color palette, texture, and mood for the day that was as full of joy and fun as this loving couple.  The photographer's, Peardon Carrillo, were flown in all the way from California, and they did an amazing job capturing the day.  Take a look:

The bridesmaids all had different color dresses, so each of their bouquets was made up of one of the many beautiful flowers from Heidi's bridal bouquet.  

Love those red shoes!

Congratulations again guys, and thanks for letting me take part in your big day!
