Wedding planners in Colorado

I'd like to take a moment to say "Thank-You" to all the wonderful wedding and event planners that we work with!!! All of these ladies do a great job and make our part of an event even more fun. Honestly, I think everyone should consider hiring a wedding planner, if not for the whole planning process at least for the day of the wedding/event.

Fabulous Florists :: Ovando - NYC

Last time I was in NYC I stayed at the W in Times Square. The first thing I noticed when entering the lobby were the flower displays. Surprise, Surprise!
I picked up a card and while out exploring the city came across the shop. Walked in and chatted with the designer - she is great! Here's a link to their site:

Colorado Retail Florists Association

Recently we posted a help-wanted ad and received a few inquiries of people asking how to get into the floral industry. I would say step #1 for Colorado residents is to check out:
Colorado Retail Florists Association
They offer a comprehensive listing of schools, shops, wholesalers, classes, classifieds, etc.

Book :: Paula Pryke, Table Flowers

Looks like my favorite London based floral designer has a new book out. You can click on this link and buy it from amazon, that's what I did.

Paula Pryke has been one of my favorite designers for years now. I've visited the shop in London a few times. I'll tell 'ya my mouth drops everytime I'm walking around that shop. It's a magical place. :)

Holiday arrangements available at Bella Fiori!

A large container is filled with three colors of Poinsettias and ivy plants:

Red Amaryllis stands upright with curly willow branches in a glass saucer bowl, surrounded by river rock. Cranberries can also surround the amaryllis.

A glass cube vase filled with cranberries. The arrangement is filled with cedar & seeded eucalyptus, red roses & red alstromeria.

A container is constructed out of candy canes and the arrangement contains seeded eucalyptus, cedar, red roses and red alstromeria.

A natural basket is filled with an amaryllis plant, ivy and green moss. A nice delivery option for the holidays.

One of my annual favorites - a cylinder vase is filled with cranberries and has an arrangement of gerber daisies, roses, stock, cedar and seeded eucalyptus. The stock and cedar give it a subtle scent.

It's snowing!

Why am I blogging this much this morning? The answer is easy - there's snow outside! And this California girl is never in a hurry to leave the house on a snowy morning. I prefer to wait for the roads to clear a bit.
That's good news for all of you that like to read the blog. I have decided to post more links from other informational sites or sites that have fabulous photos of floral design. Plus, I'm digging in the archives of the home computer to see what photos of our previous work I can find....
Guess I should post more of the holiday photos to give everyone ideas, it is November 28 afterall! ;)
Here's a photo from the past, it was from a Christmas/Swedish theme wedding:
