plump, curvy, & volumptuous

this week has come and gone by so fast. this pic above is tripy right? i love it! simple art! so i have been naughty, i hope you blog readers are not too disappointed in me. for once i have no images of my work from a wedding done. yesterday anthony mott & amberlie madsen wed for love! well no images .... it just escaped me sorry. non the less another great event designed and accomplished. not to worry there will be 3 weddings in the next few days! so more posts coming soon.

these tulips are on their last petal in our cooler, from a wedding a bit ago. they were draping over the bucket so gracefully that i couldnt help but be attracted. i heart tulips when they are full and plump, curvy and natural, and volumptous to end it all! i pose this question, arent we all most beautiful and perfect when we die? no matter when that is ....

danielle .... outside the box

so why was danielle's wedding outside the box? well lots of reasons ... starting with she was an unusual bride for a utah wedding. she planned way way in advance and booked me clear back in early sept after a month of conversing back and forth for her april 19th wedding. so 9 months out is rare for utah clients. second because she picked a reception center that offers you know those boxed deals. the ones that you sort of one stop walmart shop. though this is convenient i cant say its high quality. danielle insisted upon bringing in outside vendors that better suited her desires, and they let her. she loved her local but not all the deals that came with it. she was well planned and knew what she wanted!

flowers used .... first off bugs and butterflies. ranuculus, roses, lisianthus, bells of ireland, and a few tulip varieties and colors.





loved this cake ... simple yet stunning. we decided on just one tone of color on the cake ... obviously orange, one of my favs! ranucs and tulips adorn this simple yet stunning freelance.

tara & i am going on hiatus so excuse me please!

This is tara's bouquet for her bridal sitting with rebekah westover so stalk that blog here to see better pics hopefully within the next week. this bouquet was fun for me, tara gives me a lot of creative freedom within the feel we are trying to create ... that being a vintage european feel with rich colors and creams and whites. tara loves lily of the valley but ... by the time we placed order i couldnt get them in time for the sitting so i supplimented the look with white wax. other flowers used, dahlias, eggplant mini callas, orange ranucs, white ranucs, orange/yellow parrot tulips, vendella & leonidas roses. wrapped in some of my most fav color of ribbon and a bead pearl design. thanks tara for being so chill and trusting me!

as of tomorrow morning i am on hiatus ... i need to do this now and then to refresh. i will not be answering co emails or calls until tue april 15th. if you are an existing client that needs me emergently, for some odd reason (i am pretty sure all your files are in stable places) call me and leave a voice mail i will check it periodically. thanks & so long till tue.

PS wanted to thank all those that leave amazing comments on my blog! so here is to clients, friends, and admirors that keep me going! loves.

Signature designs & true Designers

not long ago i posted about some of studio stem's signature designs ... see one of our most sought after accent posts here
in case your too lazy to look (i would be!) this is monkey tail and its airbrushed (not painted) black. we often airbrush monkey tail and our signature black callas, its something studio stems is known for. painting or airbrushing takes serious skill to turn out a high quality product that LOOKS natural and doesnt chip, bleed, or stain. i have noticed as of late that a few new designers have popped up on the utah scene. it seems that they think this profession is easy and anything can easily be created, copied, or duplicated and the title designer comes with just the movement of lips and not experience. i am hoping that you get what you pay for with these new "designers" and that their prices match their quality. there are more than a few designers here in utah with serious talent and experience to pick from ... studio stems, whimsy, petals & blooms, stella posy, m&k designs, and roots.

melanie

Melanie's colors where black, white, and teal.



ok so i am a feeling rather reluctant about posting this pic ... first cause its a terrible pic in terrible lighting and i am not a pro photog, i usually can do better than this though .... but i did post it cause i think its kind of interesting that the ribbon on this cake corsets down. interesting design. i believe melanie found it in a bridal mag and took it to macy's to duplicate it for her. to bad corset isnt as straight as it should be though ... tried to balance it out with the flowers and i think it helped, at least it took the attention away from just the corset.

compliments ...

over the years i have received many compliments and thank you notes from clients ... they make doing what i do all worth it. and on occasion i get a compliment from another designer and this makes my heart flutter! the other day i was checking my stats (and honest something i dont do often) and i realized i was getting hits off my site from a blog of someone i dont know .... so i went there to check it out and THIS is what i found. lets just say artistically my head got big for a few days but i have calmed down now. i really appreciate being seen as an artist and recognized for my work. amazing to me that someone i dont know and doesnt know me thinks this of me, kind of overwhelming. i didnt used to be so good at taking compliments, they are hard for me to believe but i am getting better at it i think! thanks.
