Old Home Love

Recently, we moved to the charming old town of American Fork, Utah. And lucky for us, we have some of the coolest neighbors who make their living off restoring old houses, which is a huge passion of mine. Any and Candis of Old Home Love also has a beautiful book, another on the way, and you may have seen them a couple months ago when they gave away a beautiful restored house on Facebook. (Yes, really!! It's around the corner from us, so we got to watch the whole transformation.) I've created flowers for a few of their spaces, and last spring they asked me to create dramatic flowers for their One Room Challenge master bedroom reveal. 

You can see the full reveal, with before and afters, here.

Warm Autumn Wedding in the Country

Spilling plum branches, romantic mauve and clean marble were behind the concept for this airy country wedding in Northern Utah. I love the way the warm September sun caught the flowers as it set behind this cozy family affair.

Japanese Heritage Bridals

This shoot with Jessica's Photography came about when her friend discovered some forgotten pieces from her family heritage. Her father came to the United States from Japan, and after he died, she inherited his colorful hand painted Japanese dishes that she never even knew existed. She was so inspired by the colorful beauty of a history she felt she was just getting a glimpse at, she asked if we could design a bridal shoot around it. This palette of red and purples felt a little risky to me, and  liked the way the muddled, varied tones tied everything together.
