Wedding florals

I LOVE doing florals.

Many years ago in an act of desperation  after my husband had lost his job I  took a position as floral designer doing silk and dried flower arrangements. I loved it!!!  I made 100s of arrangement that were shipped to furniture stores all over the country. When my husband got a new job I started my own business  from  home doing custom floral design. I did many  Boutiques  including Swiss Days (the mother of all Craft Boutiques in Utah) It was a great job for a stay at home mom.

When I became a single mom and started working  as full time Interior designer, My floral design opportunities dwindled as well as the time I had available to do them.  Occasionally I do an arrangement for clients when ever the opportunity presents itself.

My new favorite thing is designing fresh flowers for my family. Corsages at Prom time. Of late I did the Bridal bouquets for my son Riley and Bobby's Brides as well as other arrangements for wedding. Fresh floral are a little imitating  because fresh flowers are living things with each variety having a personality of its own. I am still getting to know the little  guys. 


In June I did all the florals for my son's best friend Nate as a service. Nate was raised by a single mom and never knew his Dad. Most kids in that situation are a little wild. Not Nate he was caption of the football team, graduated from high school with a 4.0. He was a great friend to my son Brady. .  Long story short I wanted to do an amazing job because they were the cutest couple ever.
