Alexis and Mike by Zorn Photography

Alexis and Mike are a delightful couple. I recently ran into them at Lou’s Food Bar in the hood and was reminded to track down their gorgeous photographs by Zorn Photography. Their wedding was in late May at The St. Julien in Boulder and the bouquets are some of our favorite of the season. Her flowers included the stunning red charm peonies complimented by eggplant mini calla lilies, green cymbidium orchids and fern shoots. We had the pleasure of working with Honey with Seize The Day and Tea and Cakes for this beautiful event. Enjoy the images!

Monday blues…

July 25, 2011 by Plum Sage Flowers | Leave a comment

Blue is a popular wedding flower yet can be a challenging shade for floral coordination due to the limited number of naturally blue flowers available. Our favorites include hydrangea (available in soft and royal blue), delphinium (also available in the two shades), nigella (soft blue), cornflower (royal blue) and tweedia (soft blue). Hybrid Delphinium is a gorgeous flower with numerous blue buds branching off of a thick stalk. When we work these into bouquets and boutonnieres, we individually wire and tape the buds to create quarter size pops of delicate color. It is a tedious task but has a beautiful effect. Here are a few images from a July Sunday wedding at Parkside Mansion with delphinium bud boutonnieres and delphinium and tweedia blooms in the bridal bouquet. The centerpieces included hydrangea, geranium foliage, delphinium, freesia and tweedia.

Sherbert delight…

The entire time we created Emily’s flowers we fondly remembered Flinstone’s Push Pops. The beautiful pale apricot shades in her arrangements reminded us of the tasty orange creamsicle treat from our youth.

Emily’s beautiful green, apricot and cream palette included gorgeous Finesse roses and Juliet garden roses as well as dahlias, hydrangea, scabiosa, feverfew, hypericum berries and fun textures from stellata pods and succulents.

Enjoy these visuals and we look forward to the images of the day captured by Chad Morgan Photography.

Images from the holiday weekend…

July 5, 2011 by Plum Sage Flowers | 2 Comments

We created a variety of beautiful arrangements for weddings over the holiday weekend. As always, we look forward to receiving the photographer’s shots which will capture the feel of the day in entirety.

In the meantime, here are a few images of the array of flowers including a “Mad Men” inspired deep red, candlelit wedding to a summery garden/rustic pink palette to lush white and ivory elegance to a rose ensemble in shades including apricot, ivory and champagne with a splash of burgundy. We hope you had a festive 4th of July!

It is our priority to purchase local product at every opportunity and I am particularly fond of product from Pastures of Plenty Farm in Longmont, Colorado as I spent several seasons working on the farm, creating bouquets for market sales and creating flowers for weddings on the farm. We are shopping there weekly and thought we would showcase the beautiful blooms that are field-grown and currently available for use. The flowers shown below include peonies (which have a limited window in June), cornflower, yarrow, canterbury bells, lilies, sweet william, feverfew and scabiosas.

Looking back… bluegrass and organic buds

June 21, 2011 by Plum Sage Flowers | Leave a comment

I just returned from a weekend of bluegrass and beautiful scenery in Telluride which has inspired me to showcase these fantastic images by Katie with Jenna Walker Photography (who is, by the way, also a fellow festival fan). This wedding was a few seasons back at the beautiful Devil’s Thumb Ranch in Tabernash. The flowers, including sunflowers, dill weed, scabiosas, cosmos, lisianthus, feverfew and geranium foliage (to name a few),  were all purchased from local, organic Colorado farms and the rustic details including herbs, wood, pine cones, bottles and strings compliment the theme beautifully.

What better way to launch our new blog…

{and introduce our beautiful new website format thanks to Nicole with NicoDesigns}

than to showcase this wedding captured by Tyler Jones Photography. Kyle married Kyle (yes, that is not a typo… and they are a beautiful pair) at The Space Gallery with an elegant reception following at The Ritz Carlton Denver in mid April.

We LOVED Kyle’s bouquets (in fact there is a blog post below dedicated to her lovely garden roses) and we love Tyler’s photos of them a great deal too.

Enjoy! And please check back as we are in the process of updating our website galleries with fresh images!
