Flower Friday

Today while visiting at Stevens & Son Wholesale in Arvada I came across this beautiful new variety of Stargazer lily. Audrey was telling me about how they'll start growing two varieties in the coming months in their greenhouses. I was instantly amazed and drawn into it's complex petal structure.



For any of my national flower friends - Stevens & Son does ship throughout the USA.

Flower Inspiration :: Crooked Willow Farm

Today I have the pleasure of working on a lovely wedding at Crooked Willow Farm in Larkspur, Colorado with Ashley from Table 6 Productions.
The flowers Katy has selected are absolutely divine, hip, fresh & fun!
Here's a photo of the seven bridesmaids' bouquets right before they get packed up to make the journey:

Jensen Sutta is the photographer for the wedding today, I'm excited to see his amazing photographs and will post those soon!

Vendor Profile :: Nomelie Cupcakes

A few days ago we had a very pleasant surprise here at the studio - the ladies of Nomelie Cupcakes walked in the doors and presented us with a box filled with cupcakes. The cupcakes they brought were: Red Velvet, S'mores and a Vanilla Mango. (My favorite was the Vanilla Mango) We had a lovely visit with them and showed them around our shop.
I've visited their adorable shop in Parker once, it's so charming! I'd suggest next time you are in the area be sure to pop in and try one of their yummy cupcakes!
They are located at:
