Ryan and Kris' Tuscany Wedding

Kris was such a fun bride to work with and her taste for bright colors was a great way to end the summer. The pinks and greens she chose really brightened up the outdoor patio at Tuscany. The DJ kept the dancing crowd entertained and thanks to Ryan's grandmother, I don't think any of the women left without a flower in their hand (except maybe me, ha!).

To really bring attention and color to the aisle and ceremony, we tied small bouquets of roses, gerbera daisies and bells of ireland to the chairs with satin ribbon. We also decorated Tuscany's iron arch with a garland of bay leaf, myrtle, roses, calla lilies and Kris' favorite, gerbera daisies.

This is the only picture I got of Kris' bouquet. It was all shades of pink roses, calla lilies, and gerbera daisies atop a background of lime green hydrangea, roses and cymbidiums. This picture does show how fantastic she looked in her dress though ;)

I just love how lush and green the Patio of Tuscany is in the summer. Perfect for an outdoor summer wedding!

Dining table centerpieces matched her bouquet with pink gerberas and roses paired with green hydrangea, roses and orchids. The addition of grass and berries, gave them a garden feel.

These fantastic place cards by Wedding Paper Divas matched her invitations.

The cake was placed on top of a bed of wheatgrass (again, for that garden feel) and decorated with hydrangea and gerberas.

Alta Club Wedding

A friend of mine from Chicago came back to Salt Lake in August to get married at the Alta Club. The wedding was a lot of fun and the bride looked beautiful!! Their colors were a bright yellow and a purple/fuschia. It was a perfect combination for a summer wedding! So, here are a few pictures...

I had never done a wedding at the Alta Club before this, and it was really great and the staff were so helpful! It's always fun to try a new venue.

Each centerpiece consisted of yellow roses, spray roses, lilies, calla lilies, tulips, freesia and flax. They looked great placed next to the sunny windows in the dining room.

I wish I had a better picture of this. The cake by One Sweet Slice was beautiful, and my picture is not doing it any sort of justice. Sorry!

I was in love with the way her bouquet turned out. The purple phaleonopsis orchids looked perfect paired with the purple tulips and yellow roses, calla lilies and freesia.

Headstart Bloom

I worked for Salt Lake CAP Headstart through college and a little after I graduated. I mostly did Public Relations, but every once in a while, an event would come up that my boss and I would plan. My last year working for Headstart, I had the privilege of planning their very first fundraiser gala, The Bloom, at La Caille. Since then, the Bloom has become a large success and a popular event among Salt Lake City's favorite fundraisers and auctions.

This year I was asked by the organization's director, Erin Trenbeath, to be a part of the planning committee. I happily accepted the offer. I was also able to donate my time by arranging all the centerpieces for the 5th Annual Headstart Bloom. It was so much fun to attend the event again, they put on such a great program and auction.

I didn't get very many pictures, but here is one of the centerpieces. Each one had a bottle of wine and a $50 La Caille gift certificate for purchasing.
