Featured: Savvy.mn Magazine Bride issue and Style Me Pretty blog!

We were excited to see our 10 year vow renewal in the first Savvy.mn Magazine Bride issue!  Back in October we had our little, DIY bash with our kids, 2 friends and Tasha from Red Bird Hills to capture the morning “I do’s”.  Thank you to Melissa for including us in this issue which has so many top notch vendors from the Twin Cities.  We are honored and so grateful!

The vow renewal was also recently featured on the much loved blog Style Me Pretty, see the post here.

Proposal Inspriation for Valentine’s Day

This photo shoot was brought to you by all of the beautiful (and frozen) ladies seen above.  Also, by some that are not pictured and, of course, Jeff and Jessica, who were behind the cameras.  I always admire the passion and talent it takes to do a successful photo shoot and these people were and always are, on their game.  It was an absolute joy working with all of them.  Even though we were cold, it was smiles all day.

This photo shoot was featured on The Wedding Chicks!

Featured Vendor on Middle of the Map Weddings blog

Emily, the very sweet and wonderful editor at Middle of the Map Weddings blog, asked me to be a featured vendor this month.  I was so honored!

I had to answer a few questions about myself and how I got started in the floral business.  and now, “Let’s all go back to a simpler, quieter, no iPhone kind of time, back in 1999…”  Read the full post here.

Wedding Featured in SW Metro Magazine

What a nice surprise to open my February issue of Southwest Metro Magazine and see one of my May 2011 couples, Abby and Dane, featured in a wedding article.  Thank you, SW Metro Magazine!

Looking at these apple blossoms, dewy grass and peony images makes me miss spring.  a lot.  Good thing is, spring is getting closer everyday…

Thank you to Clewell Photography for the beautiful images from their day!

(last three images are my own candids)

Dani and Jason

Are you feelin’ the love here?

When I saw these photos for the first time, tears came to my eyes.  You see, 2-3 weeks before the wedding the bride was in a severe car accident and was in the hospital up until a week or less before the wedding.  I remember when Jason called me and told me about the accident and her injuries, which, by the way, you would never know by looking at these photos were very, very severe.

They were going to have their 1.1.12 wedding as planned. I was so happy they did.  You will never meet a sweeter pair than these two.  No offense to my other brides and grooms out there, you all are awesome too, but the love and strength I was witness to here was–well, there are no words for it.  Just these photos.

Dani, you are so beautiful and strong and I will admire you always.  I still don’t know how you did it.  You rocked that dress, those earrings, and where did you find those cute, blue boots?!

Jason, you are the epitome of what a partner should be.  What you did for Dani to prepare her and your guests for the wedding is no less than remarkable and I feel so happy to have been a part of this day.

I also want to give a very special thank you to my friends/team of Carol, Kevin and Amy for making time on New Year’s Day to help create, deliver and take care of business on this day for Dani and Jason.  I will always be grateful for your warm hearts.
