Furry Loved Ones!!!

It's becoming more and more common to see Dogs (Our Furry Loved Ones) in Weddings and being part of the "Big Day"!  And why not...we love and regard them as FAMILY!


A  Garland Flower Lei is a wonderful way to honor your Furry Family Member if you want them to wear personal flowers. If your pet is a bit more fussy, I recommend a silk flower ribbon collar instead of fresh flowers.  Hoping to have some in my Etsy shop in the near future. Please contact me if you are interested in any custom orders!

Check out my Awesome Model:................. Mochi  !!!!  He didn't mind wearing his Lei at all! 

Have a Wonderful Weekend Everyone!

Companion Pieces!

Yay...its Almost the Weekend! Super excited to attend a 9/10/11 (Super Memorable Date) Wedding of our Good Friend who lives in Norcal this weekend.!  Here's another Wedding related post in honor of their Big Day!

As I mentioned in my previous post...I am hugely fond of making personal pieces.  They are just so darn personal and special as they are almost always captured in wedding photography!  Lately.... I've really enjoyed making ornaments to combine with flowers.  Although flowers alone are gorgeous and special, I like adding special touches to take it up a notch! 

  Companion pieces are the best way to tell a story about a couple/wedding theme!  Below is a  boutonierre and bouquet set that both have paper pinwheels in them. Super Fun + Eclectic =  additional interest and another focal point. The best way to make a theme cohesive is to continue and repeat an element (in this case...more pinwheels)! 

Here's another companion set...using succulents, burlap, and other materials to marry them together!

Thanks for stopping by and Have a Wonderful Weekend Everyone!!!!!!

More Vintage Love!!!

There's something about vintage that I truly love! It speaks timeless romance with a bit of history!  I know...I'm such a Romantic Sap but that's why I truly love this industry!  Bouquets and Personal flowers are my favorites to create. Today I wanted to share a vintage bouquet I recently created.  Bouquets are so special and mainly because they are so symbolic in a Wedding! It is the most photographed decor for a Wedding! I can relate because I will spend countless time photographing a bouquet at various angles and props.   I'll bet any bride out there will tell you that's one of the most exciting parts of planning a wedding and envisioning how their lovely bouquet will turn out! Well, I definitely felt like this once upon a Wedding!!!  LOL! Anyhow hope you enjoy this post and many more bouquets in the future.
