Sometimes I Work With Flowers

Just a little post about some of the things I make at work...

I have tons (seriously, guys. TONS..) of pictures of my floral work and thought I'd just post a few from my first week back at The Flower Patch.

Simple rose bouquet with greens.

A very typical bouquet of the Provo BYU area. Lilies, gerber daisies, poms.

Hydrangea, orchids, Calla Lilies and Stock 

With a corset ribbon tie. 

What $150 will buy you... 

And this is actually a bouquet of a co-worker of mine, Kayleen. 

Purple stock, green carnations, green cymbidium orchids, purple crown aster, 

and green hypericum.

Just a little headband of white daisies & solid ego as modeled by lovely Kyshel.

Pastel sympathy arrangement. 

This Man of Mine

Gentlemen take note.
If you like a girl, get her flowers.
Doesn't need to be a holiday,
Actually, your ladies appreciated it more if there isn't a holiday.

David knows my favorites.
He brings me flowers often.
But he also knows that some of my most favorite flowers he's
gotten me, are ones he's pulled off the side of the road
to pick them himself.

Floral Disaster!

Check it.

This was my apartment from Wednesday afternoon to Friday morning. There was literally no way into kitchen type items (refrigerator, stove, microwave, sink, etc.). It was all pretty much off limits, which meant a lot of snacking throughout the day.
This also meant, not being able to go barefoot in my home for those days for fear of scary thorns,
barricading Calvin out of the aforementioned workspace with my couch cushions,
and my apartment being a huge grimy mess for a few days...

The wedding flowers turned out GORGEOUS.
Look at The Fleurist blog to see more pictures...

My kitchen area was taken over by flowers!

Much of the floor was also taken up by flower buckets...

Worth The Wait

I am proud to announce that I finally have a teaching job at a dance studio in Orem. I am not sure when I'll start because they're still installing sound systems and mirrors and such, but I was fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time. And of course, with the help of my sister, Andrea, who referred me. I'm looking forward to finally teaching. I was so excited that I had butterflies in my tummy just thinking about it. I was already readying my playlists and choreography. WOO!
Weddings seem to have been bombarding us lately. I always think that somehow I'll get away with not being stressed... but unfortunately, it's inevitable. I always run into people who have a problem with something, or mishaps at the wholesaler, or who knows what else. Thankfully, I can say that my work has not been affected by the aforementioned. I am often so proud of my work for these weddings.
