Baby Boy Mustache Shower

My friend, Laura, and I threw an evening baby shower for her sister-in-law, Paige's new baby boy!  We opted to focus on coffee since it was after dinner and most ladies don't want to eat too much anyway.  We created a coffee bar with baileys, hershey's specialty creamers, kahlua, whipped cream vodka, etc..

Laura made mustache stir sticks out of felt.  And we incorporated mustaches everywhere else!

Sneak Peek: Walser Wedding

Here's a few shots from the Walser wedding!  Jen wanted to keep things very simple and hi-light some fall tones with mainly roses.  Her husband has done a lot of missionary work in the Middle East so they incorporated a lot of that into their wedding with the linens, food, and colors.  To tie things together I spray painted all the vases gold and silver (using Rustoleum Metallic finish) and used some exotic flowers for the reception.  It was really fun to work with such rich tones and to get to use some unique flowers like kangaroo paw, pincushion protea, and ginger!  

I didn't get any great shots of the reception stuff (there's one below) but I'll pass on the professional shots when I get them!  Here's the inspiration board.

Real Weddings: Christy and Brian Professional Shots

Well, we're home!  And we did have a fantastic time in Portland, although we all caught a flu bug so I ended up staying in bed with the kids much of the time. But we got a chance to catch up with friends and family so it was a worthwhile trip!

Rosie sent over these pictures of Christy and Brian.  Pretty fun!

Her flowers featured: dahlias, zinnias, ranunculus, stock, roses, billy balls, delphinium, queen anne's lace, and maiden fern.  I ordered a bunch and we went to the cutting garden for some.

Rosie's got more pictures of the wedding on her blog here.

Here's a look at some of the shots done by Urban Rose Photography of Christy and Brian! More coming soon! (we're having a great week in Portland by the way!)

Sneak Peek: Christy's Bouquet

Christy was laid back, easy to work with and fun to design for!  She dyed her bridesmaids' dresses assorted shades of cornflower blue and wanted yellow, pink and orange flowers to match with some coming from the local cutting garden.

To go with her more casual bridesmaids dresses I wrapped the bouquets and boutonnieres in playful fabrics featuring blue for Christy and orange for the bridesmaids.  (This fabric is Blue Chrysanthemum from Rebekah Merkle's England Swings Collection.)

The profesional shots were done by Urban Rose Photography so they're bound to be good!  I'll show you them when I can!

Fall Market Preview

This past Saturday was also the Logos Fall Market.  I teamed up with Vicktrola Prints and Urban Rose Photography to create a wedding inspiration table.  Vicky took more pictures so I'll share hers when she passes them on - but here's a few I grabbed of the flowers.  We went for a rustic vintage look with dusty pink, blue and gold accents.

My sister-in-law helped with our design and also penned a few signs for me.  

With two weddings, the market, some deliveries, and attending one of the weddings - this is what my kitchen and work area looked like when the day was over.  A small bomb exploded flowers and cake in our house!

Sneak Peek: Hui Wedding

Here's a quick look at last week's wedding.  I can't wait to see the photographer's shots!  Mine aren't the best as the lighting was pretty dim.

Cecilia gave me bracelets for all the bridesmaid's bouquets. I wrapped them around the top of the stems right at the base of the flower. A fun accent and great gift for the bridesmaids.

The bridal bouquet - the brooch is her "something old and borrowed"

All ready to go!
