This past week was pretty intense. It was so intense that I missed the 4/18 Monday cutie – not that anyone complained (except Sarah!). It was a busy busy week filled with lots of fun things, lots of work related things and lots of Easter-y things.
Fun = mom, Josh and I had our photos taken by the super awesome Ken Kienow (photos coming later), we cooked an Easter feast complete with homemade coconut cake that happened to be incredible and shopped till we dropped in downtown SLO.
Work = a 7am set-up in west paso for a morning wedding. This is where Josh wins husband of the year. He woke up with me at 5:30am, helped me load the van with blooms, took me to get some coffee and then hung strings of peonies in a huge oak tree using rocks and fishing line, then came back to SLO and did all the flower deliveries for the shop. I HEART HIM and couldn’t do what I do without him. Work also included mom and I setting up a second wedding in the afternoon. The florals were perfect for the setting and the “love fence” was our favorite. Mom set up the centerpieces perfectly and it was so much fun to have her there working side-by-side with me. I think we make a pretty good team!
Easter = a perfect morning celebrating Jesus’s resurrection at Calvary with a friend who is a friend I will have forever – I luuuurrrvvveee her! Then home to make a feast of yummy-ness for friends and family to enjoy. 1st try at making this coconut cake was a hit and a recipe I’ll be filing away for use again in the future.
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!
Thanksgiving is here! I like Thanksgiving. I don’t like Thanksgiving nearly as much as I do Christmas but I like it just enough. It’s always a busy time at the shop helping folks pick out flowers for their dinner tables to compliment their delicious dishes. Or perhaps people are looking for a sweet something to take to friends or family who have graciously opened up their homes to them. Either way I enjoy the bustle and excitement that starts with Thanksgiving and lasts thru the new year. For me, Thanksgiving represents the very start of my favorite seasons of flowers…winter thru spring. I love that as soon as Thanksgiving day passes we are running full steam into Christmas and all the pine, winter berries, and amaryllis. Then we are on to ranunculus, hyacinth, anemones, tulips…my oh my. I love the colors, just about all cold weather flowers, cheerful and happy people, hot drinks during the middle of the day, boots and scarves…can’t wait!
For now a quick glimpse as some fun Thanksgiving centerpieces and the inspiration board for our holiday weekend wedding! I’ll be so busy saying goodbye to orange and yellow flowers this week that I posted this just a smidge early…hope you don’t mind. Happy Thanksgiving friends. Be thankful and happy this week.
Amber and Sean were married in May at the be-a-utiful Spanish Oaks Ranch in Santa Margarita. Amber put a lot of thought, careful and creative planning into this very personal and home-made wedding. The family style tables and cozy touches made it perfect! Her blooms were truly eclectic in containers of all shapes, sizes and colors along with cream ranunculus, green viburnum and yellow crespedia – oh how I miss the springtime blooms. It was so fun to work with Amber narrowing down the flowers, containers and style and the end product was just what she had envisioned. Ken Kienow, who is always on his game, snapped the images that enticed Style Me Pretty to feature Amber and Sean’s wedding – see it here!
such a great cake.. love it..
