Book :: Paula Pryke, Wreaths & Bouquets

I picked up this book while taking a class with Paula Pryke in London, she even signed it for me. It's a quite charming book:

Flower Inspiration :: Ten Mile Station

I experienced a new to me event site this past month - Ten Mile Station in Breckenridge. Yes, hard to believe but it was my first wedding at this location. Wow - it's a great place for a wedding celebration! Beautiful views everywhere you look. Plus, the lodge is fun, rustic, mountainy but without looking like the typical ski lodge. Plus, the staff was super fun to work with!
I also had the pleasure of working with Julie Gambrell and Jared Wilson. Jared was kind enough to send me a CD with photos from Carrie's wedding. Here are some lovely photos:
Upclose of Carrie's bouquet, three varieties of red roses with white stephanotis sprinkled in:

Carrie carried the red bouquet and her maids carried all white roses & ranunculus:

Cocktail tables with red roses petals and a candle floating in cube vases:

I LOVED the all red centerpieces! We filled the cube vases with red dogwood branches, then arranged red roses & ranunculus:


The pretty cake:
