Congratulations to Jessica and Stephen who got married in August in sunny St George (in Southern Utah). Their colors were red, white and tiffany blue. Jessica wanted to have a million red Roses (well, almost)!

A Summer wedding ceremony on the Terrace in front of the water fall with hundreds of red Roses, Manzanita Trees, Crystals and thousands rose petals along the aisle – sounds like a dream wedding, doesn’t it?

Their three tier Red Velvet wedding cake was accented with red Roses and Tiffany Blue ribbon.

Bridal Bouquet of 3 dozen red Roses accented with sparkling crystals looked absolutely stunningly gorgeous!

Centerpieces: Red Roses and white painted Curly Willow arranged in the 11” clear glass rectangular vase with off-white stones on the bottom.

Jessica & Stephen also shared their love story with me that I posted a few weeks ago. Unexpected, pleasant surprises happened during the wedding proposal when a famous American Idol singer got involved. Do you want to know what happened? Read their love story here.

Such warm, fun and friendly people! I was surprised and delighted when Lorena’s Dad greeted me in Russian.

Well, there is a superstition – that it’s good luck to have rain on your wedding day. Guess what – there was very heavy rain while I was setting up a floral arch (outside). Jake was so nice – he created a tent for me out of a tarp so that I could stay dry while I was fixing flowers on the arch…and in my heart I was asking that the rain would stop by the time the ceremony would start. The rain stopped and the air was so fresh!!! This wedding was absolutely beautiful – with a very warm and homey atmosphere.

Flowers included in the bridal bouquet: white Hydrangea, light pink Gerbera, white Lisianthus, succulent plants.

Location: The Ledges of St George, UT
Wedding colors: Royal blue, Red, Yellow, Pink

I was absolutely delighted to work with Kate & Matt and here is why. I got a call from Kate at 8.30 pm (yes, I always keep my cell phone with me & answer if I can) and we were chatting for a while before Katya told me that she is Russian. She didn’t have any accent and so I was eager to know her story. Katya and her Mom came to America several years ago because of Svetlana’s marriage. Katya was a little girl at that time and that is why her English sounds native.

Well, I don’t speak Russian a lot in America, and so it was really fun to plan this wedding speaking in my native tongue. It was a kick, and I was absolutely delighted to meet with Katya’s Mom and her American Dad. The ceremony and wedding were held at the elegant “The Ledges of Saint George”.

Katya & Matt wanted to keep their wedding ceremony very private and so only immediate family was invited. The ceremony took place in front of the fire place adorned with a tall colourful arrangement on each side.

For her bouquet Katya insisted on having 2 dozen red roses “Black Magic” with a sparkly touch of “diamonds”.

She insisted that the rest of the wedding flowers be very colourful.

For the table décor Katya chose to have “Royal Blue” Lamoure linen, a big colourful centrepiece with six candles around it. Katya wanted to give the flowers as a gift to some of her close friends. It’s one of the Russian traditions to give the flowers as a hand tied bouquet without a vase and so we decided to incorporate it into the design.

I arranged flowers as a big colourful hand tired bouquet with royal blue Hydrangeas, orange Asiatic Lilies, white and red Roses, Sunflowers, white Gerbera, Thistle and more. The bouquet holder was wrapped with Aspidistra leaf and secured with royal blue wire. For the vase, we used an 8” tall bowl vase. The arrangement looked absolutely amazing!

For the wrist corsages we had Red Roses fixed on royal blue wire. The ladies loved it!

It was my pleasure to work with Katya & Matt and Katya’s dear parents Svetlana and Ed.

I want to thank you for choosing me to create flowers for your wedding!

I wish you all the best!

Beth was an amazingly well organized Bride and she knew exactly what she wanted, including the style, colors and types of flowers. Beth’s wedding colors were blue, white and orange. I must say that Beth and her Mom both have highly refined taste and style.

Her choice of Hydrangea during the hot May weather in St. George, UT created a bit of challenge, as hydrangea don’t like heat, and they like to drink tons of water. Of course, we were able to manage it because I always give 120% to make sure that my Brides get exactly the look that they want.

Yvonne from Bridal Cake by Yvonne created a true masterpiece wedding cake for this stylish spring wedding.

Beth’s bouquet included blue Hydrangea, Hypericum, Orange Calla Lilly, Gardenia and Oregonia. The Bouquet was wrapped in a designer’s fabric and included several rings of white pearls. The antique look of this bouquet was absolutely gorgeous! A Great match for the Exquisite Bride!

Bridesmaid’s Bouquets included elegant Orange Calla Lilly and Green Hypericum wrapped in a cream ribbon.

Beth & Elliott, I wish you all the best! Thank you for being such an amazing couple to work with!!!!
