florist for a day

a few weeks ago my longest best-friend, erin, got married. not longest as in tallest, that is reserved for corinne, but longest as in our parents knew each other before we were born, we met in kindergarten (but claim 2nd grade as the starting point). we went to elementary, middle, and high school together and although we have lived in collectively in 4 different states and 1 different country since then we remain the dearest of friends.

her wedding was beautiful, check it out here thanks to the awesome duo known as altmix photography. for my wedding with the help of a very gifted florist friend my mom and i did my flowers, see pictures here (i'm at work so there is a lot of linking going on!). it was a lot of work, but we loved doing it. we found such joy in designing bouquets and arrangements. we also did the flowers for erin's brother's wedding (sorry no pictures), and after having two weddings under our belt erin asked that we do her flowers! here are some highlights:

stunning bride, her groom and a close-up of her bouquet



bridesmaids bouquet and arrangement for guest book table

all the bouquets

some arrangements that are pretty cool if i do say so myself and the aforementioned tallest best friend

my mom and i had such a blast putting everything together! we both agree we are not cut out to be career florist but we enjoy the opporunity to pretend like we are, at least for a day!
