Garden Whimsy Inspiration- Utah Wedding Florist

Earlier this spring I, along with my friend Mollie of Polka Dots and Daisies, hosted a lovely inspiration shoot. I have been DYING to show this darling little feature but had to keep it under wraps until it posted on the wonderful blog

Check out these amazing images by Cherie Hogan Photography and Mikki Platt Photography

Invitation and custom menus set the stage for the event. I love the spirited flowers and those die cuts are something that your guests will be sure to oohhh and awe over. 

When designing the flowers we knew we wanted to it to be large and full of life. Ideally we wanted to have a large weeping willow through the center of the table, but knowing that this was not where near possible, we chose to make our own tree. By taking large branches of curly willow and accompanying them with native flowers we achieved this quirky piece. Its full, fabulous and frilly. Everything we love about floral design.

Lets talk cake. If this is not THE MOST amazing cake you have ever seen, I don't know what planet you're on. Julie with Layers Cake created this hand painted masterpiece adorned with delicate sugar butterflies and bold poppies. 

Our flower girl was adorned with handcrafted flower-wings. These are a beautiful alternative to the customary basket. Darling!

Instead of a common bouquet we outfitted our bride with a fresh floral necklace. Bold blooms and striking color were the perfect compliment for this whimsical bride 

Thanks to everyone who was involved in making this garden dream come true.

Bouquet Feature

Excited to see that one of our favorite bouquets was part of a gorgeous feature on

Lina @ McCune Mansion

Saturday was host to Lina and Gideons grand affair at the McCune Mansion. We started with her palate of aqua coral and gold, and from their brought in shades of peach and ivory to accent. 

Per Lina's request, we made her bouquet with lots of feminine texture. We used flowers like Amsterdam roses, peach callas, veronica, patience and juliet garden roses, hydrangea, astilbe, spray roses, dusty miller, mini pittosporum and delicate celematis blooms.

A little preview of the outdoor set up. 

This last photo is of the luncheon pieces. We brought in Lina's Mexican heritage by using the official flower of Mexico, the dahlia. From there we added some bright and colorful accents like sunflowers, zinnas and delphinium. All were held in authentic Mexican tin cans.

Thanks to Utah Events by Design for another great event!

*Please forgive my horrible photography skills. iPhone photos just don't do much justice.*

Heather @ Millcreek Inn

Heather's morning luncheon was held at the beautiful Millcreek Inn this past weekend. Man it was a scorcher! Aside from the blistering heat the event went off without a hitch and the flowers nothing less of beautiful (if I do say so myself).  

Heathers bouquet was the most fragrant bouquet I've made to date! A flowing cascade consisting of garden roses, lavender, lily of the valley, scented geranium leafs, rosemary, oregano, dusty miller, seeded euc, jasmine vine and amaranthus. Yum Yum!

 

Outdoor bar was decorated with fresh vines and florals. Accented with candles and more candles. Although the reception was held in the daytime, candles can still bring an element of class and warmth.

Centerpieces were alternating designs of topiaries and full floral designs. 

Big thanks to Heather, her mother Win and Michelle.
