Happy Birthday To My Man Lando!

Landon hit the big "23" today! He made my birthday so great, I could never live up to it, but in an attempt, I woke up this morning and decorated the kitchen with balloons and made him breakfast complete with a muffin cake. Landon is such an awesome guy and a perfect match for me. I couldn't have found anyone who makes up for my other half better than him. He's such a personable, hardworking, funny, and helpful man! Happy Birthday Lando! XOXO

Sometimes I'm in love with it and can't get enough yellow, other times, I can't stand it. So this time around, my yellow phase started with this awesome find at TJMaxx...

The price tag made it even easier to cave in. Then came along this amazing yellow wedding that we did a few weeks ago at Noah's in...

Bridal Show

So if you don't know by now, I work at The Canterbury Place in Bountiful as an assistant florist. Saturday, January 16th was their annual Bridal Show, and the theme for this year was "Vintage Chic." It took a ton of prep work, including making about 30 paper pinwheels (seen on the chair ties below). I think my fingers were numb for a few hours from folding them! As far as flowers go, we worked until midnight the night before the show finishing them, but they turned out amazing! I was in love! Each table had a different centerpiece and the round buffet in the center had a HUGE arrangment of peonies, dahlias, anenomies, garden roses, queen anne's lace, and blooming branches. Stacie, the head florist, said it was probably the most expensive arrangement she's ever done. Here's some pictures for you to feast your eyes on.... One of the mock bouquets I made. It's made of calla lilies, parrot tulips, hypericum berries, and scabiosa pods. The AMAZING cake made by ...
