Rachel's Wedding

   Rachel was married yesterday. When we had a consultation she made the big mistake of telling me she was getting married in a barn. I had so much fun finding barn like elements for this wedding.  Like I got to wrap the boutonnieres in twine. Also I used soft ruffly types of flowers to give her bouquet a modern county feel. I really enjoyed this wedding and feel so blessed to have worked with so many wonderful brides, like Rachel.

The Flower to Die For

  
 I love peonies. In fact they are my favorite flower of all time! I love everything about them. The smell, color, and petal count. I like to consider myself a non-girly girl but I think I am a little bit in denial because peonies are a very girly flower. oh, and the fact I am totally in love with BBC Victorian dramas. I guess that qualifies me as a semi-official girly girl. Anyhow this gorgeous bloom sprang forth in my front yard. I planted it last spring and this spring it has three huge blossoms. One in which I put beside my bed so I could smell it when I first wake up in the morning. I have decided that my life would be complete if when I die peonies where used as my funeral flower. I know you really don't get to pick these kind of things, but I am keeping my fingers crossed that I die in the spring : )
