Denver Arranging Class

October 24, 2018 by myca in Classes, flowers

I grew up in Colorado along the Front Range and attended college in Ft. Collins, CO. While I haven’t lived in Colorado in over 15 years I still regularly travel home to see family and visit a few friends. After hosting a series of flower arranging classes in Sheridan, people were clambering for a chance to play with flowers in Colorado too!

The boy joined me for a weekend at his Auntie’s house with cousins and flowers.

I planned a casual Saturday afternoon class at the super cool Rocker Spirits in Littleton, CO. The guys opened up early for us, shoveled snow and served up some stellar cocktails while we played with some super bright and fun Spring flowers.

In an attempt to break free from the typical flowers found in February I went with punchy and bright oranges and yellows. Garden Roses in yellow, orange protea and crazy fun yellow Mimosa provided texture while tulips and stock provided bulk.

As we had the space completely to ourselves, we moved the tables around and guests choose a vase for making. Cocktails and flowers are a pretty great combo.

We had sisters, college friends, childhood neighbors and the world’s coolest aunt in attendance.

I highly recommend Rocker Spirits for a fun date night out & superb seasonal cocktail. If you’re in the greater Denver area go visit! Grab a bite from their food truck to pair with your drink!

I’m hoping this can be an annual event for us to gather, catch up on life and create something beautiful together. Who’s in for 2019? Make sure you’re signed up for our email list to stay in the loop and get notifications for future classes.

Intimate Family Wedding

Sheridan Inn

October 10, 2018 by myca in Bouquets, flowers, Wedding, Destination Wedding

Love comes at all times in life and is always worth celebrating. Julie and Smiley live in SD but planned a destination wedding in Sheridan where Julie raised her children. They were married at the Historic Sheridan Inn last March with their families and friends there to celebrate. We used lots of eucalyptus, classy calla lilies, succulents and sweet roses for the bouquets created by yours truly and DIY centerpieces put together by Julie and her daughters ahead of the party.

I’m always a fan of couples who make the day their own and love her skirt+denim combo.

I often try and fail to capture bouquets and flowers at home. Time is short or lighting isn’t ideal, the studio is a mess or I’m simply too tired after a day creating. I’m so grateful for the professionals I work with who capture details for me like Mandy with M.C. Picture Company!

I did happen to capture a few shots just before sending these beauties out the door and this little petite bouquet shot has been one of the most popular this year!

The perfect petite bouquet for the maids! Filled with three kinds of eucalyptus and a single gorgeous rose.

Succulents and Calla Lilies tucked into loads of eucalyptus for the bride.

A prairie meets mountain wedding

Big Horn Equestrian Center

July 05, 2018 by myca in Bouquets, Ceremony Arch, flowers, Wedding, Destination Wedding

These two grew up in Sheridan but fell in love while living on the East Coast. They came home for a celebration with their families and friends for a late summer wedding with a mountain and prairie theme. With lavender and dried prairies grass as our color scheme, I had free reign to bring in all the lovely textures August has to offer.

It was a treat to wander a piece of property owned by the bride's family and pick native grasses and other local greenery to mix into her bouquet. In all, the bridal bouquet featured over 20 different flowers, grasses and other greenery including lisianthus, Sahara roses and eucalyptus.

They hosted a sweet ceremony on the Polo Fields at the Big Horn Equestrian Center followed by dinner and dancing under the lights. Even with the heavy wildfire smoke in the background the day was a beauty.

The new corsage

Whirly Girl Flowers

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.

Need me to remind someone special not to forget? Drop me their email or phone number and I'll happily provide a reminder.
