I'm going to be out of the office until Monday (8-4). Spending some much needed time with my family...

I'll leave you with a few photos just sent to me by Sarah from Snowbird a few months ago. Wish we had some of that snow right about now -- I'm dying in this valley heat!

Thanks Sarah -- you look gorgeous!

Pink at The Point

Cassie's wedding was held at The Point. Hot pink, light pink, and cream roses and mini gerbera daisies. Cute, simple, fun!

Champagne and crystals...

Jordan was married at a residence in Herriman. I really loved her colors -- various shades of champagne, creams, and blush pinks. We ended up using 8 different varieties of roses in order to give it that soft, dusty feel. Very romantic. Unfortunately, when we got there the wind was in full force with tablecloths flying everywhere. They opted to have us place everything indoors rather than set up the arrangements on the tables... I kept my fingers crossed all night hoping the wind died down and they were able to escape the threat of rain. My favorite part? I really loved the bride's bouquet, but for some reason the cake really spoke to me. She chose a nontraditional design for her cake flowers and I felt it tied all the designs together well.

(Pardon the last photo taken in the location's basement -- Jordan had two designs that we used to vary the tables: one of a mixed arrangement of flowers and crystal picks, and one of a candlescape that also featured crystal around the base of the cylinders. Jordan weaved the theme of crystals throughout the event -- something we don't typically see during summer months. It gave a touch of sparkle to the day and an added level of interest to an otherwise very economical alternative...)

Long-distance question...

To the sweet gal who called from CA today:

Wish I would have had more time to chat but with two weddings tomorrow, we were all working pretty furiously when you called. But thanks for your call -- You made my day!

Happy July 24th! Hope everyone has a fabulous day...

(I'm amazed at how long the peony crop held out this year -- let's hope we have the same luck next year!)

Anna at Red Butte

Anna was married back in June at Red Butte Garden. All red and white roses with minimal accents of curly willow and green hypericum berries. Big thanks to the amazing Kate Benson for the photos (its pretty obvious that the last few photos were taken by me, so don't confuse the two styles. I know...I should stick to floral design! See, THAT'S why you hire a professional for your photography!)

Maren sneek peek

Here's a sneak peek from Maren's wedding July 17th. I pulled these off Anna Page's blog (thanks, my friend!). There's more to see so I'll add to this sampling when I get more from Anna.

theknot.com features Kathy!

Kathy's wedding was chosen as a featured wedding on The Knot. Check it out here.

It will always be one of my favorite weddings done. Always!
