A Special Fall Wedding Day

I can't remember a more spectacular, crystal clear day. It was as if God shined a sparkle on this special wedding day.
The Bride carried a hand tied bouquet of white Eskimo roses, white hydrangeas & white mini calla lillies. Her dress was accented with a navy, satin belt. The Bridesmaids held hand tied bouquets of white Eskimo roses and wore navy, satin gowns.
 The Bride's table streamed with white tulle & roses petals & candles.  Fresh flowers arranged low in short cylinder vases with white Eskimo roses, white hydrangeas & white mini callas lillies. The beautiful heart shaped cake with delicate iced roses was the centerpiece.  A very simple, pretty, elegant table.
Lovely day... lovely wedding.....  

more later.......  :)
you are loved

Sofia Roses.....My Favorite Soft, Pink Rose

Hello everyone.... I got over my Spring fever somewhat.... not completely. It has been raining & raining in Texas and has been wonderful. Thunder to boot !!  Rainy weather insists on candles burning and window watching.  Love it !

There are flowers that you can always always count on to be beautiful & last well. Then there are flowers that are desired for weddings, and parties etc. that you just hold your breath until they arrive and you can inspect them, then you hold your breath hoping they don't wilt before the event is over.

The Sofia Rose is a rose that you can count on to arrive in perfect condition and this rose is fully layered and opens just right. It holds up very well and continues to show off all those layers for days.

Look at these Roses !  Perfect !  
These are handtied, satin stem wrapped, Bridesmaids Bouquets and a Junior Bridesmaid...... The Bride chose White Eskimo Roses... more on those beautiful roses later.

More another time.......  You are the Head & Not the tail !

Spring Fever In Jan?

The beautiful, warm, wind free weather in Texas the past several days has been an exciting reminder that Spring will come again!
As I sat here I started planning the flowers I will plant this year.... Coleus, probably from seed because I haven't done that in years and years and I so love seedlings.  Do I want clay pots? White Italian clay?
Ah... a mix would be great with a little color here and there. I have to have boxwood in huge pots also and of course a couple topiaries.  Amaryllis love potted life too!  I love my red amaryllis and can't wait to say hello to it again.
I have been digging in the dirt and planting from the age of 7 and have watched every leaf unfurl in excitement.  Flowers is my passion, whether growing, or arranging in vases and containers, or wreaths.

More later......   God Loves You!
