Here's What I Did This Weekend!

(I started this on Monday. I'm finally getting around to it. UGH!)

I am blessed to be able to work with my mom, who is an amazing florist. She does several wedding a year. She is so very creative and gifted. She says that I have more talent than she is, she's just had more experience. I am starting to take the positive things people say about me and believe them. (I have a hard time doing that!) I love it when she lets me do the Bridal bouquet. 

ANyway, we had a really large wedding this last weekend. 17 table centerpieces, bridal bqt,bridesmais bqt, many boutineres, coursages, you name it, we had it. The fun & laborious thing we got to work with this time was fall leaves! The bride wanted fall leaves incorporated into the flowers. We had never worked with them before and we weren't sure how they would last. Oh, and we had to CUT every good leaf off of the branches to get what we needed for the aisle.  It was a busy friday and sat (the wedding was in Livermore and we were coming from Folsom!)

Here are some of the pictures I want to share with you!

Right before we're done. Mom gets a little stressed out :) (sorry mom. I had to!)

All packed up and ready for the 2 hr car drive!

The Beautiful bride (I wish I could turn the pic up right, but I can't so just turn your head ;)

The end (at least for us!)

Here's the plug for the cupcake artist. I had some for my birthday and some of you asked about her. I'm sorry I didn't respond. But, hey, I am now! Her name is SUE FAINA. She bakes out of her home in Clayton CA. Her website is www.suefainacakes.com. Her website doesn't do her justice. She does cakes for all events, too. I wish I coulda had a cupcake. they smelled so good!!!
