Red & Black - breaking the mold

HF Bar Ranch
in , ,

Styled shoots are a chance to play with creative friends and work outside the typical wedding box. Each year I choose a few select opportunities to to add flower magic to and stretch some creative muscle. When Braidyn Looper approached me about joining a creative team to provide a bouquet and boutonniere pair for this shoot featuring a black wedding ensemble I jumped at the chance.

Using my favorite greenery textures of eucalyptus and leucothoe as a base filled out with sumac, poppies that pop, the perfect neutral carnations and killer red ranunculus. Tell me - who wants to rock a dress that isn’t white for their wedding?

PS - this was shot in late March before everything was green here in Wyoming. However - flower favorites are off the hook this time of year and the colors make a striking contrast to the still brown countryside. Things like ranunculus, anemones and poppies are so incredible. More March weddings please!

A Romantic Affair

The Brinton Museum
in , , , ,

These two might look familiar -Molly and Andre’ modeled for our 2018 Rocky Mountain Bride photo shoot in the summer and I had the honor of creating flowers for their romantic and glamorous wedding in the fall at The Brinton Museum. The day was unexpectedly snowy and absolutely gorgeous.

We loaded the tables with sweet clusters of roses - sweetly named Hearts! Handfuls of petals and so many candles completed the tables and the room was practically glowing when all lit for the evening. The groom’s mother provided individual paintings on miniature canvases for each guest and after setting up we toured the room to find our favorites.

I usually keep a few houseplants around with interesting textures and leaves to help fill in when making these little beauties and everyone so far is a huge fan of the brass flower cuffs instead of traditional wrist corsages. That little variegated leaf comes from an ivy that hangs in our playroom most of the year and makes me so happy.

Molly requested something romantic with an Italian countryside twist. I used cotinus, PeeGee hydrangeas and the ever lovely blushing bride protea in her bouquet.

Keeping it hot while the snow flies!
