Dapper Dan

I know it sounds silly but his name really is Dan (Erin Giffee's lucky husband.) Cybidium and peacock feather boutonnier.

Erin Mullins-Giffee


It is good to remind ourselves that everything we make (especially bridal work) has a person attached to it. Here the beautiful Erin Giffee poses with a prayer book that has been handed through generations, here decorated with orchids and freesia. Erin was an absolute treat to work with; quick-witted, smart and genuine. I couldn't talk to her for more than 5 minutes without having a belly laugh. A real pleasure.

lilac and white stargazers

Bought myself some white stargazers to go with yesterday's lilac (and a few other things of course.) Buy yourself flowers, I just work it into my produce budget.

Japanese shabby chic centerpiece

A single red rose atop a tripod of painted and distressed reeds with lily grass, tied with raffia and set in a glass ming bowl with river rocks. One of those wonderful moments when a bride is telling you her vision and you say "hold on, I  know just what you want." She clapped her hands in delight and laughed when I told her that the lily grass might get in the dessert. The most time consuming part of this design is waiting for the paint to dry.
