My Week Alone in the Shop 2

This is all of the wedding work I did over the week. This wedding was green, black and white. I did three wristlets and 5 boutonnieres.
This wristlet had a cool butterfly pin the family wanted attached to one of the corsages. I really liked it.
Groom's boutonniere
Groomsmen Boutonnieres

This wedding's colors were purple and teal. I did 10 boutonnieres. I'm not a huge fan of carnation boutonnieres, but this was their request.
and 2 corsages.
I did my cousin Rebecca's wedding flowers. Her colors were red, black and white. Groom's Boutonniere
Father's Boutonniere
Mother's Corsage
I cut the stems before I sent the bouquet out, but this is before they were cut.

Easel Spray

This was my first easel spray. I had a hard time getting the shape and the size right. There is still a ball like mass in the center, but overall it looked good.

July Arrangements

Fourth of July arrangement


This arrangement didn't photograph very well, it was really cool, the plumosa fern gives a nice sweeping line at the bottom and the flowers form a nice spire.

Casketspray

I did my very first casket spray. I was really scared to do it, but once I got started I think it turned out well.

Elaine Trail Wedding

We did a big wedding in May, the family had experienced a near tragedy in which the father nearly died and all the wedding money was used to pay for the medical bills. A year later, many businesses worked to help make their dream wedding happen. We did the whole wedding for only the cost of flowers. See more of her story here.
