Dogwoods and Redbuds...

A client contacted me roughly 6 months ago and asked if I could create redbuds. I didn't know what they were so I had to Google them. What lovely little buds they are. The bride's two main flowers she wanted to be highlighted in her bouquet were dogwoods and redbuds. Her wedding is going to be held in a barn and so she wanted a rustic look with pinks, whites, redbud tones, browns and subtle greens with burlap and lace.

I absolutely love how everything turned out. I worked on a bridesmaid bouquet, 15 boutonnieres/corsages, hair flowers and cake flowers.

 

These are the matching boutonnieres and corsages for the grandparents.

Pink Peonies and Snow Berries

After the move to Southern California, we have been blessed with awesome Spring and Summer like weather. We finally got hit with a big winter storm. We had small rivers and lakes growing around our house. While the rain is a welcome sight with drought like conditions, it is something we need. Needless to say, I missed my daily dose of bright blue skies and sunlight.

So in order to brighten the last couple of days, I finished the bouquet, boutonniere and corsage order for my client and it helped cheer me up. What's not to love about pink peonies and snow berries?

While my client originally asked me to just make her bouquet and 3 boutonnieres, about a month ago she asked if I could take on a cake flower, 5 corsages and 2 additional boutonnieres. She is doing a lot of DIY projects for her wedding and these items would have put her on overload and stress her out. Of course, I was happy to help her. 

I love how the snow berries turned out with the peonies!

Magnolia Cake Flowers for a Destination Wedding in the Dominican Republic

I'm always in awe of how far my flowers will travel! Leslie found me via Etsy and asked if I could make her 3 magnolia cake flowers like the one I have listed in my shop but in specific sizes. This is how they turned out. Leslie is having a destination wedding in the Dominican Republic in a couple more months!

Best wishes to Leslie and her fiance and thank you for asking me to create your cake flowers!

Custom Cake Flower Topper - Pink Peonies and Antique Hydrangeas

Is it me or does May seem to drag on? I guess in a way it's good I have a few days left as I have several orders to complete and ship by June 1st!I just completed 75 flower clusters (total time to make them was 6 hours) for another client for her sister's wedding (more on that later). I also have several custom cake topper/flower orders to contend with. Here's one I wanted to share with you today as I just finished it not too long ago.
This particular client wanted a freestanding cake topper to put on top of her tiered cake. She requested light pink peonies that had more of a closed or bud like center and antique green and pink hydrangeas.
