MOPS Tea and Testimony

Every year a great group of mom's gets together at the Methodist Church in Fremont for a spring tea.  I have enjoyed getting to design some of the flowers for their event.  This year their theme had a gardeny feel. Each table featured a different tea cup or small vintage pitcher that looked like it was left in the garden and found full of flowers and garden creatures like butterflies, lady bugs, and frogs.

Tami and Jesse's May Wedding

Tami and Jesse were married on a pretty May afternoon. Perfect for Tami's vision of bright, happy, springtime colors and lots of sparkle. 

Tami's bouquet was made of stephanotis, 'Furore" gerberas, "Margarita" gerberas, magenta roses, and orange milva roses.  The handle was wrapped with a rhinestone band and a collar of rhinestone drops framed the bouquet.

 

Tami requested simple understated bouquets for the bridesmaids, a beautiful choice with the vibrant colored dresses.

Jesse's boutonniere was wrapped with just a touch of sparkle to match the handle on Tami's bouquet.

 

 

 

The ceremony took place at the Arlington Community Church.  We lined the pews with cones filled with pink wax flower, seeded eucalyptus, and gerberas.

 

The reception followed the ceremony at the Fremont Golf Club.  This was Tami's toss bouquet.  The tables featured pink and orange table runners and napkins with clusters of gerbera daisies in crystal filled vases. 

 

It was an honor to design Tami and Jesse's wedding flowers. I had so much fun with this color scheme. Thanks to Meri Valentin for the gorgeous pics.

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.
