Flowers for Kailyne Grace

 

My heart has been aching this week for my nephew and his wife

who gained an angel in heaven.

Kailyne Grace was born still, but her presence here on Earth

has made a huge impact on all of her family.

We love her and will miss the opportunity to get to see her grow,

but we look forward to the day when we will see her again.

It was an honor for me to do her casket spray.

I love you, Will and Kristin!

Mike's and Kaylene's Wedding

 

So, this is the first time I've done silk flowers for a wedding, 

and when I delivered them, the groom's mother asked if she needed to put them

in the refrigerator.  Mission accomplished!

I love calla lilies and do feel that the silk can look very real.

Silver and blue seem to be the color of the season right now,

and I love it!  They're two of my favorite colors.

Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Thanks for letting me stretch a little bit as I tried something

new for the first time!

Kevin's and Robyn's Wedding

So fun to get to do these flowers for Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

 And she doesn't even have to change her last name!  

Loved doing these flowers for their Winter Wonderland wedding.

Navy and silver are so striking together.  Beautiful!

And the bride looked beautiful, too.  

(Hopefully I can get some pictures of the happy couple.)

Congratulations to the two love birds!

Jaden's and Eliza's Wedding

So, our second oldest was our first to get married!

Jaden married his best friend and high school sweetheart, Eliza.

Can't believe I'm old enough to have a child married,

 but looking at the gray hair, I guess I am!  

It was a beautiful December day, and I don't think 

things could have been more perfect.

Love you two!  Thanks for entrusting me to do your flowers.

Taylor's and Kristen's Wedding

 

I have to admit, I wasn't sure what I thought of coral pink and yellow together,

but I thought these flowers turned out so darling.

I'm a huge fan of the Amsterdam coral roses.  They've been beautiful everytime

I've bought them.  I hope the bride and groom were pleased as well,

and I wish them a very happy life together!

Brexton's and Toni's Wedding

 

 

 

So...I realized that I didn't get a picture of the bridal bouquet for this wedding!

I'll have to see if I can get a couple from the bride.

I loved the colors of this wedding.  Blush and burgundy are so pretty together.

I hope the bride was happy with her bouquet and all of the flowers!

Congratulations to Brexton and Toni.

Brexton's and Toni's Bridals

Did this cute bouquet for a bride yesterday!

The burgundy dahlias were stunning!

The bride even sent me a little note to thank me for the bouquet,

and said her mother loved it, too!

Glad they were pleased!

Flowers for Uncle Lyneer

My Uncle Lyneer passed away a couple of weeks ago. 

He's not been well for a couple of years, and he'd lived a good, long life...
91 years and five days.

He was always so friendly and always had a smile on his face!

When doing flowers, I thought of my Aunt Ilene.

I wanted to do something that she could keep in her home for a few days,

and I associate anything feminine with Aunt Ilene,

so soft pinks and peaches are what I was looking for.

I saw the coral roses and thought they were beautiful!

I hope Aunt Ilene felt of our love for her 

and that she was able to enjoy these flowers for a little while. 

Sympathy Flowers for Marvel

My sister-in-law's mother passed away last week, and she called and asked me if I 

thought I could arrange some flowers coming out of a pair of her mother's shoes.

I have never done anything like this, so was a bit nervous,

but I thought they turned out pretty.  In fact, as I filled these shoes 

with flowers, an idea for a poem came to mind.

I started writing it last night.  Maybe I'll get it finished and post it.

My parents also asked me to arrange some flowers as a gift from us.

I love the pink "Ballet" roses.  They're bright and cheery,

and one of my favorite pink roses.

I hope the family feels of our love for them!

Marvel was a wonderful lady.
