Fiesta Bridal Shower


My friend and co-worker at Fossil - NICOLE! - asked me to help her to create a different kind of "centerpiece" for her friend's Fiesta Bridal Shower a few weekends ago. We collected over 30 bottles and mason jars and old milk jugs and filled them with flowers that coordinated with their festive dresses and hand-made paper flower hair pins - hot pinks, oranges, fiery yellows, purple and indigo blooms everywhere.









And to top if off - adorable paper mustaches for everyone!



Special thanks to one of the co-hosts -ESTHER! - for snapping these amazing photos.

Bon Voyage Dana and Jason!

Random pics I like from Dana's wedding







A Sunset Reception by candlelight



Black and White with pops of color - LOVE!



Dana's pop color was LIME GREEN so of course we had to use limes in the centerpieces. My hands still smell like limes - yum!


As it got darker outside, the centerpieces were fun punches of color everywhere and the tables were glowing with little twinkling lights. Dana's vision for the wedding reception was amazing.


Hannah - the best wedding date!

The Reception - Dana's exact words..."Eat, Drink, Dance, Repeat!"




Red lips! Definitely a departure for me!



HANNAH! The best helper a girl could ask for - thank you again for being the most necessary "Flower Delivery by H" service!!!


The best looking couple at the wedding.




This cake was DELISH. There is a giant take-out container of it in my fridge.

Dana and Her Dream Team

Dana was the picture of elegance. From working with Dana at Fossil, I know she is beautiful both on the inside and the outside. It meant so much to me to help her with a small part of her special day.

It's not an illusion, Dana's sister - Alyson - was the matron of honor and the pops of color in the bridesmaid bouquets reall stood out in front of the black bridesmaid dresses. We were going for something elegant, but playful and modern too.


Funny fact, Alyson works at Fossil too, and they have both been a Michael Kors product manager at one time or another, just not at the same time. :)





Funny faces, classic.

Dana and Jason get Hitched


It started with jumbo white Hydrangea.



Then pops of pink and green.



Then orange and yellow...
