{valentines day special . . . }

it's my first valentines day season and i'm really excited. REALLY nervous at the same time. valentines day is the one of the biggest floral days of the year and if i have a few orders come through this will really tell me that my name is getting out there. i know i'm not going to be huge RIGHT AWAY but i really want people to know that i'm out there. AND that i have a different style all together. here are some picture of my valentines day special. it's available for $40 and that includes free shipping. only available in the portland/vancouver metro area.

{portland bridal show. . .}

last night I attended my first bridal show. it was quite interesting as I had never attended to one before. it's mayhem but i felt regenerated--ideas of the future and being part of the fall show and other ways i can market my business. it's quite exciting becoming a new business owner. scary at times but i LOVE flowers.

{don't let it go to waste . . .}

i hate letting great flowers go to waste. i made a small hand bouquet and later displayed with in small vase for people to enjoy. i wish there was a way for you all to smell this bouquet because smells FABULOUS!

{tis the season . . .}

here are a couple arrangements i did for Ti Tech, LLC's annual Holiday Party

adding a little flare . . .

here's a quick and easy tip to add a little flare to your bridesmaid updo . . .using feathers. it's a great way to add style and texture to a simple updo.


all you have to do is go to your local craft store. you can find feathers packaged in a bag or go into the floral department and you can find feathers that are already wrapped together.

better yet, if you're feeling extra crafty, make a headpiece from silk flowers and sewing some feather piece to it. below is a sample of what I made for my flower girl.

{it's in the details . . .}

here are the wedding favors i put together for our wedding - small boxes filled with M&Ms and a custom newsletter
