MaddFlowers: St. Andrew's Derby Brunch at Forest Park World's Fair Pavilion

The Event: St. Andrew's Derby Brunch

The Date: 5/3/15

The Location: The World's Fair Pavilion

The Flowers: The committee for the Derby Brunch came up with the concepts for the centerpieces inspired bby the Race for the Roses. Red roses for the Kentucky Derby- a garland for the ice sculpture horse, purple stock, red spray roses and berries designed in mason jars. We used large, glass mason jars instead of the traditional mint julep cups because the wind is strong at this event site. 

MaddFlowers: Bright Spring Wedding Flowers at Lemp Mansion

The Couple: Chelsea and Josh

The Date: 4/18/15

The Location: Lemp Mansion's Gazebo, St. Louis, MO 

The Flowers: I created the flowers for my own wedding! I planned on bright colored spring flowers with navy linens. The color theme was sunset- so the tulips, ranunculus, and accents were peaches, oranges, yellows, and pinks. Just one month before the wedding I saw this blog post by New Creations Flower Company and fell in love with clematis and switched the look a little to include this.

Wedding Watercolors

I decided to make my own watercolor wedding invites. I hadn't been watercoloring long so it was fun to do. The theme wedding colors are sunset.

National hug a Korean day

While discussing birthdays and unique National holidays, J. MORG said to me, "you're the closest thing I know to Korean, so I guess I'll have to hug you."
National Hug a Korean Day is February 6.

Sketch of Future in Zion- The Narrows

I have many pictures of adventures I've been on before but no pictures of the future except what's in my mind and on my paper. I sketched us hiking in the Narrows... we're going to Zion National Park in April 2015 for our honeymoon (aka honeycamp). We hope to have many more adventures together in the future with the Gore-Tex too!

I did this for a contest for the Alpine Shop in St. Louis.
