Preparing for Colleen and Tanner's Wedding in KC

The week before Colleen and Tanner's Kansas City wedding was a flurry of excitement and preparation.  Here are a few of the photos of our week.

Cooler full of gorgeous purple blooms

My best helpers are my mom and my baby grandson.  He loved to sniff the lily blooms.

The bride's bouquet in progress

Boxes are prepared for transporting and presenting bouquets.  The bride wrote personalized notes to include in her mom and new mom-in-law's boxes

Sixteen low centerpieces will be given as gifts to family and friends after the evening is over.  The vases were engraved with the couples monogram and wedding date

I can't wait to post the pictures of the big day.

Hello Dolly Musical Flowers

Hello Dolly was a wonderful success!  I am always amazed at the fabulous talent at FHS.  I had so much fun designing cast gifts for the actors, musicians, and crew.  Here are a few of the arrangements.




Chi Omega Owl

Recently I was asked if Avant Garden Floral would like to make a donation to Chi Omega Sorority for the Eleusinia silent auction event. My daughter is a recent pledge at UNL and so I was very excited to be asked to help support their scolarship program.  Since the Chi Omega's symbol is the owl, I couldn't resist making a flower owl for the event.
