peony

my favorite flower changes depending on what's in bloom. last week it was peonies. I made a crown out of a bunch from my parents yard and danced around in my wedding dress for some bridals. It was so silly and so much fun.

it must be prom season

my B.I.L. (brother in law), Taylor, had his senior prom last night. I took some photos of his group before they were off to a night of good food, dancing, and maybe a little romance :) Oh how I wish I had had an older sister who was willing to take all my dance photos! Those school ones are so tacky and extremely overpriced and always end up in a dusty box under the bed. If you have found yourself in the same situation and have a dance coming up, give me a ring-a-ling! I'd LOVE to take your groups photos! And I'll garentee you'll enjoy it, just take a look at some of my favorites from last night: don't they look so happy?!

the two below are of my BIL and his gorgeous date, Sunshine.

doesn't her name suit her wonderfully!? Just look at that beaming smile!

.....

also, I don't claim the title "florist", though I have been making corsages and boutonnieres for school dances for over 6 years. I made Sunshine's corsage this time around, and was in love with the result! I used vintage lace, feathers, and a handmade chiffon rose-bud, to give it a little something extra, and to tie into the neat detailing on her dress (that her dad did! wow!)

okay sure, so basically I'm like a super senior who is in love with everything Prom. need photos? I can help. Want untraditional corsages and boutonnieres? I'm your girl. And.... I just might maybe be in the process of working out a dress rental business deal-e-o.....

maybe I love Prom or maybe I just love sticking it to the expensive-overpriced-dance-business-MAN by offering these inexpensive alternatives that won't burn holes in your tuxedo pockets :)

p.s. I'm serious about taking your dance photos and making your corsages/boutonnieres.
