Kristy and Owen's UMMA Extravaganza

Designed these black and white towering calla arrangements for Kristy and Owen's UMMA (University of Michigan Museum of Art) Reception last Saturday.  It was so fun to set up surrounded by great works of art and sexy statues :) I was delighted to meet some of the wonderful staff from Forte Belanger (catering co.) Their enormous team of organized wait staff, chefs, and coordinators were seriously on task! Congratulations Kristy and Owen it was an honor :)

Laura and Matt's Misty Farms Ann Arbor Wedding

It was such a joy to deliver flowers to Misty Farms for Laura and Matt's wedding this Saturday.  My husband and I were married here almost one year ago and I get all sappy every time I design for another couple at Misty Farms.  This bouquet is an all time fave of mine featuring a mix of purple and wine mini calla, dahlia, ranunculus, lisianthus, trachillum, sweet peas, and intertwined with curly willow.

Thank you Ann Arbor!! You Helped Pea Be #3 Yipeeeee

So glad to announce that because of your support and votes Sweet Pea Floral Design was named #3 Florist for Ann Arbor for 2011! While this largely reflects our ability to rally our facebook fans it also will lead to new opportunities and more exposure in the community.

Growing this business into a career that can support my family through med school (for Justin) would be the ultimate realization of all my work and day dreams.  This puts us so much closer to the goal!  Thanks a million ~Holly

Congratulations Jessica and Austin Dobbs!!

Decadent Delight Cake YUMMY!

Jessi and Charley's Cobblestone Farms Wedding

Boutonniere featured craspedia, scabiosa pods, mini green leucadendron and sword fern backing

Corsages were composed of white ranunculus as was a small comb for Jessi's hair

 

Jessi was simply stunning in her flowy Grecian gown her bouquet featured peony, dahlia, ranunculus, scabiosa pods, craspedia, geranium leaf and babies breath.

The aisle was lined with mason jars on shepherds hooks filled with David Austin Patience roses, craspedia, ranunculus, and geranium leaf.  So bright and cheery!

This arrangement was designed in a vintage milk glass vase from Treasure Mart and filled with white peony, dahlia, David Austin roses, yellow ranunculus, craspedia, scabiosa pods adn geranium leaf.  It was designed for the Katherine's Catering buffet table.

I admit this is one of my favorite weddings of all time, the bright cheery colors were so happy to work with and the whimsical elegant outdoorsy style of the day is right up my alley.  So glad I got to be a part of this Ann Arbor wedding!~Pea

Congratulations Sejica and Phil Choy

Sejica and Phil were married at the Michigan League Vandenburg room.  This low longer arrangement was designed for the mantle piece to be re-used on the sweetheart table.  Their reception was in the ballroom and featured the these coral peonies with red ranunculus and local viburnum in blue mason jars.  Sejica and Phil tinted the mason jars themselves instead of trying to find matching vintage ones, very crafty:)  Loved this color pallet soft pink antique hydrangea, david austin patience roses smells great (achoo sadly I'm allergic to peony and was wheezing away all weekend) it was worth it.~pea
