Something Blue...

Heather and Kyle's wedding stands out in my mind as one of the most beautiful days of the whole summer. Of course the afternoon was blazing hot (it was August, and the Hydrangeas in her bouquet proved it) but as you can see from the photos, the evening was absolutely beautiful. They had their reception in Kyle's backyard in Mount Sterling, The view was AMAZING. The blue and pink looked perfect against the yellow fields. Heather wanted that fresh picked look to her bouquet, blush Calla Lillies and blue Hydrangea were the perfect combo.  The Lemon filled vases were also fun... they smelled delicious! PLUS they cut almost all the lemons for me. Yes! Thanks Heather and Kyle, I hope you guys are doing great! 

Thanks Old Barn Studio (Donette Bodily)  for the great photos!

Color Girl

This was a wedding I did back in December, for Jennifer Jacobsen.  She and I met at Square One Printing, when I went in to have more business cards made. She said "Hey! You do wedding flowers?" I gave her a big fat "You bet I do!" and the rest was history!  It also turned out her fiance, Shane, was an old high school friend I hadn't seen in forever.  Jennifer was super fun and easy going, and I think her bouquet totally matched her personality.  Although it was mid December, her bouquet had that bright cheery feel, a perfect burst of color in the middle of a dreary winter. She originally wanted only Gerbera Daisies  in her bouquet, but when I suggested some green Hypericum with a Ti Leaf collar, she was totally open to the idea.  As long as I didn't do anything too "crazy" :)  Well I thought it turned out great, and apparently she did too, because she had me do the exact same one for her bridals and wedding day. Oh and she also sent me a super cute post card thank you note, with a photo of her and Shane on the front.  How creative! Thanks to Wendell Pace for the great photos. 

Riter Mansion Open House

Right now I am surrounded by Boston Ferns. (Gigantic absolutely gorgeous Boston Ferns, might I add.) This weekend was the Riter Mansion open house. I was asked to do all the centerpieces, and my friend and fellow wedding professional Nikkol was the event designer. One of the (many) things she did was the snowflakes... don't you love the little sparkly ones she put in the Ferns? John and Arlette (Riter Mansion owners) wanted something more on the corporate side, and less wedding. Hmmmm. Plants, rather than vases of cut flowers, were the perfect alternative. I did however add cut tulips to the Ferns, to give them a softer feel. Once the tall Curly Willow was in, they really had that natural organic feel I love.  Here are the photos, thanks to Kellee who totally went out of her way just to come and take photos for me. If any of you are looking for a wedding photographer, she is amazing. Thanks to everyone who stopped by! 

Little Miss Bloggie

Well, it's official. I am a blogger! I am excited to have a place to gather my ideas, photos, and most importantly my thoughts. Ever since I started with Urban Floral my brain has been going about a million miles an hour.  I also thought this would be a great way for my potential clients to see my work.  Almost every time I speak with someone about a wedding or any other event they say, "Do you have photos of your work?" (Oh boy do I ever!)  "Can I see them?" Uhhhh... (awkward pause...)  So in order to avoid sitting in front of my laptop with them sifting through my random photos of random events and weddings, I am putting my photos here.  So here it is, my blog, my biz and me!
