Red Cliff Ranch Wedding: Andrea and Sage {Utah Wedding Florist}

I adore when brides choose and colorful palate much like their own personality's. Andrea did just this! Her wedding took place in the hills of Red Cliff's Ranch. One of my personal favorite venues. 

When Andrea came to me and described the feeling she wanted for her wedding, I knew I was the right choice for her! Her now husband, Sage, was a lover of beer and even does home-brewing. We wanted to incorporate that throughout the wedding so we added fresh hopes to many of the arrangements as well as draping hops on the bride & groom's chairs. So fun!

I ADORE that the bride gave her ladies flask garters. Too cute! It's such a personalized way to say thank you that represents the couple, as well as a fun gift.

Andrea's bouquet was a fun one for me to make. Brightly hued and lots of varied texture. This was achieved with mums, tulips, pods, china berries, snapdragons, billy balls, oncidium orchids, zinnas and pin cushion protea. 

The sign in piece also doubled as an escort card holder, which we filled with loads of billy balls on a bed of various mosses.

Cocktail tables were adorned with various flowers held in wine glasses to keep the theme going throughout.

For Autumns bouquet we added floral varieties that were traditional for a winter wedding, but we jazzed them up with special touches of gold. We airbrushed callas, seeded eucalyptus, and Christmas green for an upscale feel that added to the already regal amaryllis, garden roses, lisianthus and ilex berries.

Autumns wedding was hosted at the home of her wonderful parents. Her mom Heidi was the mastermind behind it all and left no detail unlooked. Fresh floral rings were placed throughout the home in key locations along with balcony's of faux garlands entwined with fresh florals. 

The centerpieces consisted of call trumpet vases adorned with large sprays of hydrangea, orchids, roses, baby's breath, Christmas greens, lisianthus and tall curly willow.

Small arrangements for ilex berry, amaryllis, hydrangea, roses and seeded eucalyptus were used to accompany tables on the lower level seating.  

Thank you Autumn and Heidi for allowing me to be part of your big day!!

Blooming Tuesday {Cherry Blossom}

Today's Flower is one that I have been yearning to see

Cherry Blossom Branches

Cherry Blossom Branches are a unique beauty with their delicate blooms and sweet aroma. Found in the early spring, the blossom has a short life span and even shorter availability in our local floral markets. 

Cherry blossoms comes in two varities- white and pink. Though these blooms are found on a long branch, they can add a soft and feminine touch to any wedding.
