I work with flowers every chance I get, which includes doing wedding flowers (I'm up to 10 weddings!). However, when it came time for my own wedding, I didn't want to do my own. I knew I could, but I didn't want the stress. I also knew my mom would do a beautiful job, but I didn't want her to have to stress either. I didn't know what to do. Our budget was small, and we weren't having a fancy wedding anyway...but I did want beautiful flowers. That's when a couple of heroic family members stepped in and offered to pay to have my flowers done professionally. I was ecstatic! I hurried myself down to what I think is the prettiest flower shop (Sturtz and Copland) in the Boulder area, and met with a lovely woman named Rebecca. All I can say is that she was fabulous to work with, and did a fabulous job. I was so pleased with everything!
I'm still totally in love with my bouquet.
And this picture fills me with joy every time I look at it.
It looks like it could be from a magazine.

Rebecca also did a fabulous job with my husband's boutonniere.
His main request was for cool-looking orchids.
Looked great with his tie.
We had an outdoor wedding in the mountains,which meant that there were plenty of wildflowers too.
Husband and I both loved our wedding so much.

Thanks for sharing...
XO,

I am in love with your bouquet too! The colors are divine. Absolutely brilliant boutonniere.
Thank you so very much for linking up. The wedding is merely hours away now! :)
Simply stunning! The country look that always makes my heart go pitter- patter...
Found you through Laura's link party, nice to meet you.
Monica.
What gorgeous flowers! I adore the colours you used.
I'm deep into helping my son and his fiance plan their wedding and I'll be doing the flowers for the wedding. I just had a trial run and it went well. I took note of how your husband's boutonniere was done as that was the part that needed some work as I made it too big.

I loved your flowers, loved your wedding, LOVED your cupcakes....mmmmm....
i think the boutonnieres were the best I've ever seen. They were flowers, yet so masculine!
I wonder if there would be (or is) a niche market for paper bouquet wedding arrangements and flowers. That, I think, would be awesome.
Wow, your wedding flowers look adorable. At one of the destination Los Angeles wedding venues we recently tied the knot and I had designer brooch bouquet for my special day. That bouquet is easy to store so my special memories would be saved forever.
