The new corsage

January 23, 2018 by myca in flowers

Confession - for years I dreaded making corsages. So much tape, so much ribbon, so uncomfortable to wear and difficult to make. I often put this task off to the very end of my design time and then rushed through it with a sick feeling in my heart. I wasn't excited or proud of what I created, a place no one wants to be.

And then I saw something new. A technique that let the flowers shine. A piece that was classy and comfortable and so cool that I couldn't want to learn. This little beauty from PassionFlower Events started it all for me.

This little beauty starts with a plain brass cuff that I source from another creative in Missouri. Perfect little blooms, interesting textures and bits of greenery are then attached. These cuffs are as durable and as they are beautiful. They can be called a corsage, flower cuff, wearable or flower jewelry. I call them my favorite.

Starting in 2018 I'm exclusively offering these brass corsage cuffs for weddings. The options are endless and I can't wait to make one for you.

I'll admit - I've been dreaming about Valentine's Day flowers since LAST January. At the time, I wasn't sure what Whirly Girl Flowers could look like here in Sheridan, WY. After an incredible year meeting you all, sharing gorgeous flowers at classes and pop-ups, creating one of kind bouquets for some wonderful and trusting brides - I think we're ready to tackle this flower filled holiday together.

While I have a very soft spot in my heart for roses, I won't be offering a dozen red roses this year. I will be offering something romantic and fun, full of my favorite spring colors and high-end flowers. I'm asking you to trust me and your feelings and create something just for your love. Need me to remind someone special not to forget? Drop me their email or phone number and I'll happily provide a reminder.

Offering pickup in Sheridan starting at 5pm on Tuesday, February 13 or Wednesday, February 14th. Details on pickup location to follow with order. Deadline to order is midnight on Wednesday, February 7th. Complete the form below to get started - I can't wait.

Winter & Spring Class Schedule

whirly girl flowers

January 05, 2018 by myca in Classes

All of the gatherings I hosted around flowers in 2017 filled my heart to overflowing. Today I'm launching a few new classes for 2018. I'll bring the best flowers of the season from anemones to tulips, all the tools you'll need and a little inspiration for our time together. Bring an open heart, willing hands and a friend to laugh and create with and everyone goes home with a smile and flowers to enjoy for the week. Check out the classes page to see availability and sign up!

Space is limited and registration closes one week prior to each class. If you are interested in hosting a private class for a special occasion like a birthday, bridal or baby shower, graduation or other celebration - please let me know! I'd love to plan something just for you and the people you love.

A Christmas Class

December 23, 2017 by myca in Classes

Today I was joined by a lively group of women - we ate scones, filled the room with laughter and made some beautiful centerpieces. Each unique and reflecting the maker. We used camellia foliage (with buds!) juniper and mint for our greenery, gorgeous heart roses, red spray roses, white ranunculus and a sweeping spray of James Storie Orchids. These arrangements turned out lush and so fragrant.

Last night I finished all my prep for the class and took a few little bits to make a fun and festive wreath/crown - perhaps my favorite one ever!

I'm so looking forward to a 2018 and a new round of classes - who's in?? Here are a few pictures from our morning over scones and coffee at The Union at the Montgomery.

The women I've met through flowers this year are a treasure and I am so thankful for each one. Their enthusiasm and joy in flowers is so good for my heart and I can't wait to meet more of you in 2018. Love flowers? Want more in your life? Let's connect.

2017 - A thank you

December 14, 2017 by myca in Classes, Wedding

Three years ago this December I made the best decision ever - to move to Wyoming and marry a handsome man I met on an airplane. At the time I wasn't sure what would happen to my flower dream and Whirly Girl Flowers but I was willing to risk it all for love.

Last December, after a few big life changes (moving from Boston, getting married, buying a house, having a baby) I decided it was time to take the leap and introduce my love of flowers to Sheridan, WY and see what was possible. 2017 has blown me away and exceeded all of my hopes and dreams. It wouldn't have been possible without you!

I started with a series of Pop-up shops at Twisted Hearts on Main St. These monthly events gave me the opportunity to share my favorite flowers (hello roses and ranunculus!) while meeting lots of new flower friends. Pam has been an incredible encouragement this year and gave me a beautiful space to meet all of you! She's always willing to listen to my ideas and cheer me along as I reach for my dreams. She gave the best introduction I could have asked for in Sheridan, WY. Did you stop by, say hello and pickup flowers? I am so thankful you did!

To my 2017 brides - you trusted me with a little piece of your wedding day and I'm so grateful for you. I loved meeting you, listening to your plans and creating something to accompany you on your big day. The best part of my job is handing a bride her bouquet and watching her face light up with joy. The very first bride to book Whirly Girl this year is getting married in just a few weeks and I can't wait!

In a year of meeting new people and trying new things I launched a series of classes this November. Without a public space of my own I'm thankful for the partnerships I've built with local business and the opportunity to use great spaces at The Union at the Montgomery and Luminous Brew House for causal gatherings with friends and loads of flowers while we create arrangements. Interested in hosting a flower party? I'd love to plan one with you.

I'm looking forward to 2018 with big dreams; plans to learn more, create more beauty and build a community in Sheridan around flowers. If you're planning a wedding or a party or simply want to learn more about flowers- I can't wait to meet you.
