Wedding Season Flew By!


Yesterday was my last wedding of the season, a beautiful chic affair at the Grant-Humphreys Mansion in Denver. Congratulations to Sarah and Scott!
We did very dramatic centerpieces - a round, lush arrangement of white hydrangea and bright fall colored lilies, roses, orchids and callas with greenery, and trailing white orchids, atop a tall glass cylinder with submerged curly willow and a base of 5 white candles in cylinders of different heights. It turned out quite well. The maids held a simple clutch of 3 flame callas which popped on their black dresses and the gorgeous bride held a round nosegay of black magic roses and a few burgundy callas with accents of bluplurum and black scabiosa. The men wore simple orange or white orchid boutonnieres.
I look forward to doing more floral events next year after the arrival of my son (due 12/29/10). For now my focus shifts to that big event!
Thank you to everyone who helped me and supported my first year in business, including all my brides and clients (I will write more on the other weddings in upcoming posts), my helpful husband, my floral fairies Emily and Shanti, my friend Veronica who got the word out, my dear Darcy who assisted on the first wedding this year, and all my friends and family who cheered me on.

Bienvenidos a Miami


Mike and I had a wonderful time in South Beach. The weather was a bit chilly for them but still glorious to us Coloradoans. Sunny and a bit breezy with plenty of people-watching, beach, patio chill time. Our only site seeing trip was the Botanical Gardens of course and we saw some incredible tropical beauty. Why, oh why, do I live in a high arid state again? It is lovely but come on, these trips are killing me, seeing all the things everyone else can grow- without effort! Miami was full of succulents, hibiscus (a favorite), bouganvillea, ti leaves, begonias, baobab trees, palm trees...
And we are both huge fans of wearing light clothing and living in flip flops, taking siestas, and excellent coffee, so needless to say Miami was a hit. Hope we can go back. The demographic diversity alone was enough to shock a Boulderite's system into reality for a while, in a good way.
The picture is a plant wall on the little stage at the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens, great idea for backyard or wedding setting!

Seattle Beauty

I was in Seattle last week and it was spring there! Funny how so many things we buy at the flower market are growing freely all over the place, like my favorite Hellebore flowers, camellias of all colors, forsythia, quince, cherry blossom, euphorbia....amazing! Off to Miami for more inspiration and relaxation tonight.

introducing...

please welcome to the world of weddings, events, and floral design:
junebug florals for festivities 720.352.9459 junebugfloral@gmail.com

I am so excited to unveil my new business. I have been inspired through my work in the floral design universe that weddings are not only some of the most beauty-full moments for all involved, but offer a lot of creative fun and exploration as a floral artist. therefore, as I plant myself back into a day job as an employee benefits broker, I want to keep my creative juices flowing by providing floral services for weddings and events in the denver/boulder area. I feel that my designs are beautifully vibrant, full of happy energy, care and meaning, and for a budget-friendly pricetag will add color, gorgeousness and joy to your wedding or event! I will use this blog to post as much as I can about my inspiration, pictures, ideas and information relevant to those interested in my work.

flowers explain the meaning of life; life is beauty-full.
