Pictures of .... me.

Ok, I'm going out on a limb here & posting pictures of me. I'm not a fan of having my photo taken, I much prefer having photos of flowers!
However, with the release of Bella Bouquets I needed to have my head shot photo done for the bio page. Luckily, I know quite a few talented people in this industry...
A huge Thank You to Zack of Revert Photo for taking these photos and Janine of Makeup by Janine for doing my makeup.
You two are the best!!

The Bride's Cafe

Such a pleasant surprise today when I wandered over to The Bride's Cafe blog. Just curious to see what Janie has posted and behold a nice surprise for me! On the right side of the blog I notice this:



Thank you Janie!!

Wedding Inspiration :: The Oxford Hotel

Thank you Joe & Joyce of Studio JK for these images. Another great wedding this season. I love garden style arrangements of all green and white flowers.
Cindy carried a bouquet of peonies and white with black centered anemones with a few garden roses.

Love the silver stands holding a plush & textured arrangement of super green roses, peonies, viburunum, green hypericum berries, campanula bells & lisianthus.

Wedding Inspiration :: Museum of Nature & Science

Great bride, great wedding! I had a ball working with Lindsey on her wedding at Denver's Museum of Nature & Science. As soon as I met Lindsey I knew I wanted to work with her, she has this great energy about her + her color palette is one of my favorites - royal blue and emerald green. So fresh and perfect for a summer wedding!
Julie McKenney brought all the details together & is one of the coolest wedding planners to work with, super fun & energetic. Her company is called Bliss Elevated.
