Red and green flowers

As promised, here are more shots from Amy Anderson Photography of Cindy and Erik's wedding last November.

Cindy wanted a touch of holiday season in her bouquet so I added a few sprigs of cedar and unripe blackberries to mix in with the bright green and deep red flowers.


The centerpiece candles from MBellish filled with cranberries complimented the centerpiece bouquets of cedar, flowers and berries. I wish this couple all the best - thanks for sharing your photos!

Cindy and Erik

Just a preview of this wedding from last November - Cindy's bouquet in red with hints of lime green and evergreen. More to come!

Corporate Events

I love designing for my corporate clients - it gives me a creative outlet for new ideas and my clients love the originality. Here are some of my recent designs for corporate events:

Women's Luncheon - 317 on Rice Park, St. Paul

Black and White Cocktail party - Orchestra Hall, Minneapolis

Kelly and Justin

If you have never been to a winter wedding at Nicollet Island Pavilion, it is such a treat! Kelly and Justin were married a few days before Valentine's Day in a heated tent on the Pavilion patio.

Kelly chose dark red roses for all the bouquets and centerpieces - stunning on the white winter background.

These shots from E Photography capture the warm moments of the wedding day.

As with all my weddings, I incorporated details into the flowers to make them more special for the couple. Note the rhinestone buckles on all the bouquets and corsages - Kelly thought they were the perfect way to add "sparkle" to the black satin ribbon. Also, as a memorial to Justin's mother, I created a large rose arrangement to rest on the first chair at the ceremony - the cutest little ring bearer is standing next to it in the picture.

Congratulations to Kelly and Justin - I loved your winter wedding!!

Jodie and Andy

One of my absolute favorite events of my career was Jodie and Andy's wedding this past fall. They are an amazing couple and gave me so much creative freedom with their designs. Even the final design for the chuppah was a complete surprise to the couple and I was thrilled to create that for them.

Jodie carried white mini calla lilies and her bridesmaids' held orchids and calla lilies in an upright design to compliment the shape of the flowers.

The reception was at the fabulous Westin in Edina. The look was again orchids and callas lilies in fall colors shown two ways - either submerged in glass vases or in tall designs for height.

Congrats to Jodie and Andy and best wishes to you for an amazing life together. Thank you for allowing me to create for your day!

Thanks to Contiempo for these great photos.

The Knot Magazine Minnesota

I love when I spot my work in wedding magazines - so fun to see how the million details of planning come together in one special day.


The new issue of The Knot Magazine Minnesota showcased three different weddings of my work.





















































Heather and Adam's winter wedding in St. Paul was featured. Also, two of my brides were highlighted in the article, Where the money really goes. Congrats to all three couples - your weddings were beautiful and I am honored to have worked for you!!

Michelle and John

Fall weddings are so much fun and the floral options are endless. This past fall, I did the flowers for the lovely fall wedding of Michelle and John. Michelle's requests were simple - fall feeling and texture without the traditional fall colors. I used dalhias, orchids, hydrangea, callas and tons of other flowers to create texture and all the blooms were shades of plum, purple, brown, green and white.

Also, working on this event was Michelle's sister-in-law, Sarah Trotter of Lasting Impressions Weddings and La Vie Photography. Sarah did a great job planning the amazing event for Michelle!!! La Vie, once again, showed their amazing talents with these photos.

The venue for these photos was the Nicollet Island Pavilion, which is so beautiful in the fall.

My favorite arrangement was the cake -I just got a little instruction that Michelle wanted a base of flowers around the stand...I took my cue from that and loaded it with fall hydrangea, roses, greens and orchids. Loved it!

The tall centerpieces were mix of curly willow, white orchids and purple dalhias (my favorite!)

The girls were stunning in plum dresses - perfect for fall.

Close-up of the bouquet - everything fall except the traditional fall colors. Love the texture!

lynn and sean

I had so much fun designing the flowers for Lynn and Sean's wedding this past spring and I was so excited when Lynn recently emailed me a link to her photos. Here are some shots that her photographer, Kris Drake, took on their special day.

ana and josh

One of my favorite venues in Minneapolis is The Mill City Museum and Ana and Josh had a perfect wedding day there last September. Sally from La Vie captured these shots and I love how they turned out!

Ana thought of everything - when I delivered the flowers, she had a little locket photo of her parents' wedding ready for me to attach to her bouquet...so sweet!

Purple Romance

Purple is such a romantic, sophisticated color and I was thrilled to work with it as the color of the day for Stacy and Mike's recent November wedding. These amazing shots are courtesy of Gene Pease of Geneoh Photography who captured all great moments of their beautiful fall day. Stacy wanted flowers in all shades of purple and her stunning bouquet was made up of five different varieties of calla lilies. Her bridesmaids wore plum dresses and carried anemones, callas and stock bouquets.

Gene is a relatively new photographer with a very talented eye for shots and color - check out his blog for more of Stacy and Mike's day.

Love this shot from the reception - I utilized richly colored purple carnations for a ball a top a tall glass vase.

Close up of the callas - you can see all the texture and color variation in these amazing flowers.
