Latest Flower Beautifulness...

Presenting....
Okay, so here are a few of my most recent creations. I really love the orange bouquet. My friend asked me to design her wedding flowers, so here is the first of those wedding flowers; the Bridals Bouquet. Her colors are Orange, a Sage Green and Brown. Beautiful colors once they are together!

I used, Orange Gerber Daisies, Orange Roses, Fern Curl, Variegated Pit. and Variegated Lily Grass.
The handle was wrapped in Chocolate Satin Ribbon but I added a chocolate brown accent and forgot to take a picture...dang. Oh well, hopefully she will be willing to give me a better picture.

This weekend, I also designed a centerpiece for a guest who's daughter is leaving for a mission to Italy. Hence the color scheme; red, green and white (I think those are the national colors?) Anyways, I loved this centerpiece, it turned out quite nicely. It contains, Green Hydrangea, Red Ranuculus, Various Greenery and Curly Willow.
A couple of weekends ago, it was Hawaiian days at Maceys, so this is my contribution to the decor of that celebration.Birds of Paradise, Orchids, Mini Carnations, Fern Curl, Gerber Daisies and Bamboo.
I am really looking forward to the next few wedding that we are doing. Unfortunately, I am leaving for the summer (busiest wedding season, also, my favorite!) to work elsewhere to help me with school. I will be back for a couple of weddings, I promised friends, but that is all. I look forward to the fall with many floral updates, but will update on the happenings with my new job. (I am getting a new camera, no more phone picture...ha ha)
This is Sara, over and out!

Whirl-Wind Semester!!

Whoa! Okay. So, I figured this semester had been too easy, and when I say too easy, I mean, homework spread evenly throughout. But now that the end of the semester is now two weeks away, my teacher have piled on the projects, papers and tests. AH! I feel like all I can do now is think about what to do on the next project and not to procrastinate (which I have a hard time with sometimes, okay pretty much all the time). But I am proud to say that I (with the help of a friend) created a logo, business card and letterhead. I feel so emancipated. haha. Anyway, I will post some pictures of my projects from my interior design class on here soon. Okay. Over and out.

Week of Randomness.

I have decided that I will write this blog because it is now 12:26 in the morning and my dumb roommates are awake and being obnoxiously loud in the kitchen. (Sorry if this sounds harsh). Honestly, sick of it.
Okay...new subject. Associated Floral Show in Salt Lake!
So starting on Tuesday evening, a co-worker of mine and myself drove to south Salt Lake to attend a floral show. Here are the crazy events of what took place.

  • started out with energy drinks on the way down because of my roommates, yes, they were up until 5 am that night

  • individual rooms with a very large bed, all to myself and free of cost to me

  • a not-so-free continental breakfast ($10 bowl of cereal)

  • being a 5-second winner (ask for details if you would like them)


  • hot Canadians and Colombians

  • Denny's date @ 12 am = weirdo hangout

  • snoring from next door neighbor (continually got louder and finally I could tell that the mouth opened by the volume of the snore, eventually I turned on the t.v. to drown out the noise)

  • nitrogen balls

  • no neck or no chin man, couldn't decide which

  • guys that wear pointy shoes


  • bikes that make everyone look special because of a flag

  • peanut legend




As you can see, there was a couple of different random activities that took place. If you want me to elaborate on one, please tell me.
