Woodland Christmas

The closer it gets to Christmas the harder it is to find Christmas looking flowers. The old law of supply and demand can be a hurtful one at times. I had some definite ideas of how I wanted these arrangements to look, but because of the lack of red and green flowers, I had to make do with what was available at the flower shop. Maybe next year I will do some pre-ordering!

Christmas Flowers

This arrangement was a little bit more formal than I usually do, but I still love the way it turned out. 

Steph's Bridals

  Steph and Corbin where married in November. I had the privilege of being the florist for their grand event. I have known Steph for awhile now and one of my favorite thing about doing wedding flowers is to bring out the brides style and personality in her bouquet. As soon as I finished this bouquet I felt like it was a true reflection of her. Thanks Steph!!

Happy Unbirthday!

I wish I could say this was for my Birthday, because Birthdays are so much fun (except the whole getting older part). It's was actually for a friend of a friends Birthday, and it was a delight to do. The thing that you can't tell from this picture is how amazing it smelled. I used eucalyptus pod, and they have a wonderful refreshing scent. Happy Unbirthday!

Siara's Wedding

Siara and Tyler got married in the spring. I had the privilege of doing her flowers and it was so much fun!  The best part was I got to use David Austin garden roses. Not only are the beautiful but they smell amazing.

New Blog

I thought I would start a new blog, for my little business Simply Stems. I love to do flowers and this blog will be the journal of my journey........

What we have here are bouquets of some of the flowers we found in my back yard this summer. My oldest daughter did one and I did the other. The vase on the right is one of my most prized possessions. I happened to have met the potter who made it on a trip to New York. I just love it!!
