One Crazy Week, 2 Beautiful Weddings

Bride's Bouquet (love love loved!)


















Throw Bouquet

















Ceremony Arrangement
(2 of these flanked the pergola)



















Cake (the most beautiful phaelonopsis orchids!)




















The week before we moved was CRAZY! Between packing and cleaning out everything, finishing projects, and trying to get together with friends and family, I was also doing 2 weddings by myself! I had committed to doing them while my boss was in Hawaii before I found out we were going to be moving that same weekend. (This is why I didn't leave until Saturday) But they both turned out AMAZING and I'm so glad I did it.
The first wedding on Thursday was very traditional and all roses, but the roses I used were beyond beautiful and made the whole thing so great. They were huge orange ones that opened up to the size of your palm. You would have thought they were home grown garden roses. I also mixed them with a little different rose that had a darker orange tip. I always recommend mixing more than one shade of rose to add dimension. I'm so sad I didn't get a picture of it! My mind was going so crazy making sure I had everything done that I didn't even think about it. Darn.
But I did get a few pictures of the wedding I did on Friday and I am so glad because it was even better! The bride wanted a sort of modern asain vibe so we used lots of horsetail, orchids, and dark callas. I really had to stop myself from just taking her bouquet home with me. The two arrangements for the outdoor ceremony were just as amazing.
Although everything turned out great and there weren't any major tragedies, I was more than glad when the week was over!

20 Weeks

I will be 20 weeks with baby #2 in just a couple of days. Baby boy #2 that is! Half way! I'm finally getting around to taking a picture of myself and writing down a little bit about this pregnancy.  It's definitely been different this time around both emotionally and physically.  Of course I have another child to attend to so I can't nap whenever I want, I felt more sick this time around and it lasted longer, and worst of all for me is the teenage acne I've developed.  I don't intend for this to be a sob story, but I've never been the girl that everyone says "You're so pretty" to and I've never been the skinny girl. But I have always had really great skin. To be honest, most of my confidence in my outward appearance is because I have my mom's skinny legs and I have clear skin and a natural tan. Well these days I literally cringe when I look in the mirror. I've NEVER had acne. I've always had the occasional breakout tha...

Another Week, Another Hike

My aunt, mom, and I headed up Holbrook Canyon last Saturday to take in more of Fall's goodness. This canyon is just above the Bountiful, Utah Temple. The last time I hiked it was ages ago, so I forgot about how long of a hike it is. I looked up the mileage online which said 8 miles up and back. Well I don't know if that's accurate or what because after we had gone what I swear was 4-5 miles, we still weren't to the top and had to turn around so we could make it back before dark. A lot of the trail is uphill and it's not a really easy hike, so maybe we were just making slower time and didn't go as far as I thought, but maybe next time we'll actually make it to the top. Even though we didn't make it, it was still worth the beautiful scenery. As we got toward the bottom as the sun was practically gone, the canyon was glowing from all the brilliant colored leaves. It was seriously magical, as cheesy as that sounds. It's a shaded hike, almos...
