summer please?

I found these pictures in my files today--I can't wait for lush greenery and gardening. Happy Valentine's--65 hours of work in 6 days, hundreds of happy lovebirds, tired feet and fingers. Looking forward to my after Valentine's massage and designing in colors other than red, pink, and white!

goodbye to a grey february day

I found these today as I was organizing my pictures and thought they were the perfect end to such a drab day. Hurry up, springtime!

can't wait!!

Anthropologie-like wedding style! I can't wait to work with brides who have this aesthetic this year!!

Bridal Show Week!

Today's bouquets included a succulent and garden rose bouquet, a bouquet with cork bark as the armature, artichokes, mosses, fiddleheads, double tulips, ferns, luscious lisianthus, spray garden roses, wire, sisal, ribbon, lace. Eleven hours of making beautiful designs--I'm exhausted but still excited about what we've made and can't wait to see the brides' reactions on Sunday!

Colorado Bridal Bouquet

i heart ee cummings

when faces called flowers float out of the ground
and breathing is wishing and wishing is having-
but keeping is downward and doubting and never
-it's april(yes,april;my darling)it's spring!
yes the pretty birds frolic as spry as can fly
yes the little fish gambol as glad as can be
(yes the mountains are dancing together)

when every leaf opens without any sound
and wishing is having and having is giving-
but keeping is doting and nothing and nonsense
-alive;we're alive,dear:it's(kiss me now)spring!
now the pretty birds hover so she and so he
now the little fish quiver so you and so i
(now the mountains are dancing, the mountains)

when more than was lost has been found has been found
and having is giving and giving is living-
but keeping is darkness and winter and cringing
-it's spring(all our night becomes day)o,it's spring!
all the pretty birds dive to the heart of the sky
all the little fish climb through the mind of the sea
(all the mountains are dancing;are dancing)
e e cummings

so ready for spring
