crazy

my life has been so crazy lately... but that's what makes it fun right? i don't know, i could use a little non-crazy time here soon!  we just moved into a new house! (big back yard with lots of room for my kitties to run around in and a big garden for next year).  i've had lovely weddings almost every weekend and am preparing for another this weekend! here is a little inspirational peak into this weekend's wedding... and here is me saying sorry that i have been to busy to blog lately... i will catch you up on all the weddings i've done soon.

it's going to be a bright, colorful and a little exotic affair.

a summer bouquet

here is a little summer-ey colorful bouquet that i put together the other day.  i love the softness of the peonies, stock and ranunculus mixed with the edginess of the yellow thistle.
