THE BRIDE WORE COWBOY BOOTS

RUSTIC, WOODSY WEDDING IN UTAH

How gorgeous is this bride?

It was a little bit of a challenge doing a wedding in another state,

but fortunately, I have family in Utah.  I took over my sister's patio and dining room - 

okay and her kitchen too...

WEST COAST WEDDING

SURFER BOY TIES THE KNOT

I met the bride a few months before the wedding,

but I've known the groom since he was in grade school

he grew up on a surfboard in Huntington Beach

he's always had a little piece of my heart...

and to us, he's family...

BEAUTIFUL BACKYARD RECEPTION

STARVING STUDENTS

I never believe brides when they tell me that they aren't particular about flowers or decorations.
Its the stress of the moment.
Its having too much on your plate.
Its trying to finish one life and start the next
and the details are just too much at that point in time.

So when Nikki said that to me, and said she just wanted to get married and get on with her new life with her sweetheart, I let her talk.... and then started plans to make it beautiful.

WAY BACK WHEN....

I must be getting old when I can boast I created both mother's

and daughter's weddings....

AND BABY MAKES 3

BRIDE UPDATE

We transported ourselves and all of the reception flowers to Las Vegas for this elegant wedding...
