Here in the midst of wedding season when things are so crazy I barely have time to breath, I think back on these lovely Pop Up Shops and how much I enjoyed the interaction with people. They are a fair amount of work too, but I really love hosting these. I look forward to the time I can think about doing another one. :)

With Summer in full swing it's been complete madness. Almost every week I've had more than one wedding with very few weeks off. I'm incredibly blessed to have so many wonderful clients this year. It's been a challenge though and I'm definitely learning my limits. The struggle though is that I truly love the work, I love the thrill and the rush, I love my hands in the flowers, and the ordering process and how meticulous I am with each one catering it to each client. It's hard for me to turn down these incredible brides who love flowers as much as I do. Despite the challenges of doing flowers, and there are zillions, I love it enough to keep pushing through those. I know the second wedding season is over my heart will break a little until Spring comes again. Until then, I'll do my best to enjoy every moment.

A few images from Jordan and Devin's wedding back in May. I loved setting up this wedding because it was one of those weddings where everything went smooth with time to spare. Just as I was finishing up Jordan's mom turned to ask me something and then saw the full set up and nearly teared up! She hugged me so tight and thanked me so many times. That reaction, is what I do this for. Photos by Jill Thomas.

Madeline was such an incredible bride to work with. I loved every minute of the planning process with her. This is a girl who loves flowers and knows flowers. She knew exactly what she wanted and it made the ordering and arranging a bit more challenging but it was a fun challenge. Her and Ryan make such a beautiful match and these photos by Ciara do not disappoint.

I have no words for the beauty that is Karley Parker. When I found out she would be the model for this shoot, I was more than thrilled. Her whimsical and beautifully natural look paired so perfectly with all of the elements. These photos were the outtakes for the beautiful Salt Lake/Park City Bride Magazine here in Utah. The spread paired flowers and paper in the most beautiful way. I really have loved this color pallet of deep purple, soft peach and butter yellows with lots of vines. I was happy to finally be able to put it to good use!

I was able to work with Jayne of October Ink which was incredible. She is such a talented designer and working with them is always a delight.

These photos by Britt Chudleigh had me swooning. Britt, you are incredible my friend.
