Surrounded by Spring

May 27, 2013

Spring, spring, spring. Could there possibly be a better time of year for flowers? I think not. I am so enamored by the beautiful blooms all over my city right now and it's impossible not to fill my home with these pretties. Hydrangea, roses, lavender and gardenias are the current blooms in my garden and I love to be surrounded by bouquets of flowers inside and then look out the window and see even more flowers in bloom! Is it spring in your part of the world? What are you growing in your garden?

Wedding at The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera

January 24, 2013

Erin and Brad are Chicago natives who decided to wed in the Vail Valley, one of their favorite vacation destinations. They were high school sweethearts and have been together for over ten years, so they had a well-defined personal "couple" style, and it was such fun to translate their style into a wedding that was distinctly them. From the birch archway I constructed and decorated as a backdrop as they said their vows, to the carpet of delicate petals on their aisle way, to the whimsical bouquets and boutonnieres, to the highly textural tablescapes, no two alike, this wedding was infused with mountain-elegance from beginning to end. Working with Erin and Brad and Erin's parents along the way was easy and enjoyable, despite the distance separating us, because truly, these are some of the kindest people I've ever met. Wishing great joy and many more decades of love and togetherness for Erin and Brad!

Bouquet by Season | Summer

June 6, 2012

Last year, ombre was all the rage! Although the trend seems to be dying down a bit, I'm still loving it, even six months after designing this pink ombre bouquet and it's sweet accompanying boutonnière. This punchy bouquet was my personal nod to a seasonal summer look. I keep trying to do an ombre effect with my hair, but red is already the hardest color to maintain, and my short tresses don't seem too keen on holding the color the way I want them to. Ah well, I've got an ombre-themed wedding to look forward to this summer, so there's no shortage of ombre-inspiration in my world!
