I had a few leftovers in the cooler, so I whipped up this little duo last night. The bouquet has lavender hellebores, Amnesia roses, blackberries, Pachyveria glauca ‘Little Jewel’, seeded eucalyptus, and scented geranium. In the centerpiece I switched out the small Pachyveria for Echeveria ‘Lucita.’ Needless to say, I am absolutely enamored with the echeveria ‘Lucita’ – they seem to have the color and translucency of jadite glassware. They are just the perfect, almost impossible to find, combination of pale blue/green. Be still my heart.

I dropped off my entry for the Mayesh National Design Contest today. There were already a several gorgeous entries set up – I hope my arrangement does well! The flowers were complimentary for the first 300 registrants, and the arrangements will be donated after the open house tomorrow. What a fabulous idea! I can’t wait to meet other local Phoenix florists tomorrow!

To My Boston Bride

I just shipped a gorgeous silk bouquet out to my Boston Bride yesterday. This bouquet was a true collaboration - we exchanged tons of photos and ideas before I started to assemble it. Katie – thank you for pushing me to make such an unusual and fabulous bouquet! I know it will be the perfect complement to your dress and your jewelry. I can’t wait to get started on the flowers for the rest of your bridal party!

Just before Christmas I opened my inbox to find the most gorgeous photos of Faith and Matt’s wedding from Harley Bonham. What a treat!

Faith is just glowing with excitement! Isn’t she absolutely stunning?
