Spring in the Air
After the weekend of beautiful snow in Sedona, the sun is out and spring is in the air. Time to start thinking of all the fresh blooms to bring into your wedding bouquets and décor. I pulled a few beautiful bridal bouquets by the creative and talented florist at Events by Showstoppers to inspire you.
Events by Showstoppers
Jim and Ken of Events by Showstoppers have outdone themselves again. This time transforming the Palmera Salon at the Royal Palms in Scottsdale into a bride’s fairy tale wedding. Head over to their blogsite for all the beautiful photographs of the bride and groom, exquisite wedding site, patio lounge area and the ballroom complete with ethereal fabric draping, chandeliers and fabulous floral.

Creative Blossoms
I have wanted to post this particular work by Events by Showstoppers since they created it for a summer wedding at El Portal. Their floral design is exquisite and it fit perfectly at one of my favorite venues El Portal Inn. El Portal has long been a favorite of mine for that intimate mid-sized wedding. (30) Guests.
The design created by Ken Heflin and Jim Bullock for this wedding was truly a “showstopper”
As a grand entrance for the bride, Showstoppers create one of their fabulous rose petal carpets. For this carpet two thousand roses were used in colors of red, fuchsia and deep pink. The wisteria growing near the outdoor ceremony site was hung with pink snapdragons up side down to create the illusion of blooming wisteria. Also at the ceremony site were the beautiful rose spheres made with 150 roses per ball and wound with rattan vines. The bridal bouquet was made of blush cymbidium orchids, peonies and rose hips. I think my favorite was the layering of all the elements on the U shaped dinner tables. Square vases were filled with coral peonies, double pink tulips, wax flower, genestra, French tulips, phlox and chartreuse reindeer moss. Spaces between were filled with fresh mushrooms, votives, small birds nests filled with quail eggs and Manzanita branches. English ivy trailed down the sides of the tables.

Fall Is In The Air
There is a hint of fall here in Sedona Red Rock Country. Here are some rich fall colors we will be seeing in bridal bouquets soon. These floral creations are by Bliss Extraordinary Floral.

I love the wedding arrangements and design that come from Amy Mills and her team at Bliss Floral. Amy enjoys creating “magic” for intimate elopements to grand affairs.
