Independence Day Indeed

I guess I'll start this entry with.. I quit my job.

After working at the flower shop for a year I've decided that I want to take a chance on myself and give this floral designer thing a try. I want to explore and develop my own designs instead of implementing someone else's. So here it goes people. Full blown dream chasing and I am excited. 

Memorial Day Weekend | 3 days, 7 weddings

This weekend was EPIC. I worked at speeds at which I didn't even know I was capable of. Luckily no splinters and only one minor cut. Neosporin = life in this industry. Haha. 

Okay so out of these 7 weddings, 6 required personal flowers. These were all the different sets:

My favorite headpiece so far. I'm quite proud.

:)

One of the more complicated weddings was on Monday. One major complication was that the wedding was at Lake Arrowhead. Quite the commute, but I was very happy with how things turned out.

Pews for the ceremony.

On occasion, I can take a pretty picture ;) 

One of three centerpiece styles.

My favorite of all centerpiece styles. I <3 grapewood.

Last centerpiece style.

Apparently, these were the favorite among the guests too because none were left behind after the reception.

Sweethearts table after the flowers were moved from the ceremony. 

All in all a successful three day weekend! Now I'm going to spend the next couple of days shopping, reading and laying down. Mostly laying down hahah :D

Universal Hilton Wedding

I believe this wedding was 1 out of 5 two weekends ago. The pomander centerpieces seen here were also featured in the previous entry. The groom of this wedding was SUPER nice. I delivered personal flowers to their hotel in the morning and there is just no question why this man is no longer available in the market :p 

Sweethearts table.

The centerpieces that are just tons of fun to lift ^^' (btw lifting boxes, buckets, etc has given me some mad guns.. let's just say getting through airport security is going to be pretty difficult with these bad boys)

Larger pomanders that were used in the ceremony.

Centerpiece for the lovely couple. This variety of roses is called Faith. I love it.

Awesome whimsical tilting bubble bowls. Everyone needs these! Highly recommended! Haha :p
