Snow in the mountains dreaming of tropicals

Well, we finally had our first snowfall last night here at the base of the majestic Rocky Mountains. It is spectacular with a blanket of four inch cotton-like fluff. It really puts me in the mood for the Holidays, but can't resist sharing photos of tropical blooms and dutch tulips. Enjoy! photos by www.heiselphoto.com

Boulder Florist

I just received photographs from a lovely wedding I designed this past summer. How lucky to be married during peony season! The combination of peonies with tulips, Eufloria roses, mini calla lilys and ranunculus were breathtaking. The Bride chose a fabulous vintage style ribbon to adorn the bouquets and the Bridesmaid's dresses were chocolate brown.

Wedding Cakes Shamane's Bake Shoppe

It was a great Autumnal day today in Boulder! I spent the entire day at a Fall Market with Shamane from Shamane's Bake Shoppe taking orders for Thanksgiving floral centerpieces and Holiday pies. We had an amazing turnout. I took home a delicious plum and raspberry pie. Yum. There is still time to place your centerpiece orders. Just call 720-280-8409.

Eufloria Roses

I shopped in Denver today at Michael's Wholesale Flowers. They carry Eufloria roses from California. They are the most beautiful roses in the world! They can last longer than 2 weeks. Some of the varieties smell so amazing. Pure heaven! When they are cut in California, they are transported in water, unlike some roses which are shipped dry. My very favorite roses to put into a wedding bouquet, Eufloria roses! And the best part, grown right here in America. www.eufloriaflowers.com

Wedding Photographers

I bumped into Patrick Kramer at the Savory Cuisines Open House in Boulder last week. I worked with him and this lovely Bride at the Denver Botanic Gardens. I designed this bouquet using Freedom roses, Black Magic roses and green cymbidium orchids. It was breathtaking! www.patrickkramerphoto.com
