Real bride- SO cute!

Ok I am totally nuts and head over heels for this sweet little wedding featured on 100layercake. What a great job they did on everything from invitations to cake topper! See the whole thing here. Love the bride's dress and coverup and she looks so great in our "Darcey halo"

A wedding... a la Francaise :)

Oh such a lovely wedding to have been a part of! Wish so much to go back to France, I really love it there, such an honor to be featured in this French wedding on the blog unbeaujour.fr! The bride is wearing our nature girl halo in nude pink.

Jose Villa/Jill La Fleur shoot

I was sooooo honored to be a part of this shoot, I absolutely adore Jose Villa- what talent! And Jill La Fleur and her team put it all together so beautifully. Check out the whole story here on Green wedding shoes :)

Happy Halloween!

Fall activities...

Last weekend my family and I got to head up north to Flagstaff to do a lovely wedding, we ended up spending the weekend and stopping in Chino valley on the way home to visit this pumpkin patch- a real pumpkin patch is rare in AZ as you can imagine but this place was the real deal. So much fun to bring the kids, Emma loved picking our winning pumpkin and having a hayride and petting the ponies. Little Milo enjoyed watching all the action too. Check out my husband's lovely birch votive holders, we made these quite a while ago and just noticed yesterday they are sold on BHLDN too!

color inspiration...

I think color is the single most important factor when creating new pieces, it shapes the piece and gives it a mood, shades tend to leak from one collection to the next or be a jumping off point for me. Mustard, grey, green and blue or a combination of all those have been inspiring new pieces lately, I am especially in love with OPI's nail polish- stranger tides from the pirates of the carribean collection...

Real bride~ fresh flowers!

Another real bride, this time I did her fresh flower bouquet, I do still take work as a florist, though only limited amounts. This one was so great to work on, I loved Jackie and Brandon's aesthetic, they were the sweetest couple!

Gorgeous photos by the Sloans- so beautiful, I always love their work!

My baby is 5!!!

Today is a special day, it's my baby girl's birthday, she is such a big girl now I can hardly believe it. 5 years ago today she gave me the most important job of my life and made me the happiest I've ever been and have since been. Success in life is great to strive for, but it's nothing unless you have an awesome family to share it with. In honor of Emma I'm offering a 20% off coupon in my etsy shop :-) Use the coupon code emmais5 when you check out!
