Welcome to 2012!!!

It's a brand new year and things here at Branches are off to an amazing start.

First we want to share with you our debut on Good Things Utah. OK well maybe not us in person but one of our bouquets.

 We were asked by an amazing local vendor, Utah Event by Design, to provide a bouquet for a spot on GTU. Jen Cylde, a local stylist was sharing her thoughts on new trends in the wedding industry and our bouquet was needed to showcase these such trends. 

Check out the show here

Bouquet Elements:  3 varieties of spray roses in varying shades of soft pinks, Vendela roses, pearl picks, ostrich plums and broach handle detail

The Flowers

The Bouquet

I know I say this about a lot of bouquets I do but honestly I loved the way this one turned out. I used a variety of ferns, viburnum berries, ranuculus, scented geranium leaf, scabiosa pods, hydrangea and accents of feathers and fern curls. We tied off the handle with burlap and adorned it with wired twine we left long.

The Decor

 We constructed a runner of various types of mosses including Spanish, reindeer, mood and moss rocks. Apothacary jars, mason jars and log candle holders were also intertwined between the green masses of moss.

The main centerpiece was made up of some of my favorite elements: sleek birch poles, chunks of natural tree trunk, fern curls, hydrangea, fern, scabiosa pods, mosses, handmade copper fern curls and the most adorable red toadstools.

Other accent pieces included deep wooden boxes which held birch curls, ferns, mosses and lotus pods. 

Our bride Pam was so stunning! 

She fit our earthy-beauty theme well. She wore a custom bridal crown made of copper link chain, jasmine vine and a single green ranuculus bloom. IN LOVE! 

Stay tuned for more images and in-depth designs in the coming days.

Here are the awesome images of this past weekends bridal show at The Canterbury Place.

I was privileged enough to design all the floral pieces for their dining room area. Six unique centerpieces along with two buffet pieces. And don't forget my booth as well!

I LOVE set tables. There is nothing more classy then shining flatware and glistening glasses!

My Booth

I wanted something that was sleek and something that you didn't see everyday. Its hard to tell but we used various cylinder vases with coordinating colored water. Atop the vase was a black manzanita branches adorned with hanging crystals and red feathers!

This was my favorite piece. Pictures just don't do it justice!

Yours truly :O)
