Kelly and Daniel's Wedding, Phoenix, Arizona

This bouquet was for Kelly and Daniel's intimate wedding ceremony today. Kelly's bouquet contained a lovely mix of scented blooms and field flowers for a just-picked look. I used lilacs, purple and ivory sweet peas, three kinds of ranunculus, peach stock, scented geranium, alchemilla, tweedia and uhule fern shoots. I rarely do bouquets that use more than two or three colors, but I love how this polychromatic bouquet turned out - I should do them more often! just picked bridal bouquet with uluhe fern shoots, deep purple sweet peas, plum ranunculus, lilacs, tweedia, scented geranium, alchemilla, cream ranunculus, ivory sweet peas, peach stock, and peach ranunculus, for a ceremony in Phoenix, Arizona

I've got a few projects up my sleeves... First, I'm putting together a collection of vintage milk glass urns and compotes. I think they'll make great rental items. Here are a couple of my new acquisitions done up with succulents. That Echeveria 'Truffles' (front and center in the last photo) is out of with world, don't you think?

Which leads me to my second project, I'm thinking about putting together some rental succulent centerpieces. Do I have any interested brides? Would you rent living centerpieces for your special evening?
