Meet Cristen

I've been lucky enough to design such beautiful high profile weddings but out of all those I would say my favorite would be a wedding in the fall at summer camp on the river in the Texas Hill country. It was a beautiful backdrop for a perfect wedding weekend. TONS of blue hydrangeas everywhere! All of the guest stayed at the camp and just had the best time. It was a beautiful elegant evening under a tent with a floral chalinder and flowers everywhere!

Classic, Textural. Lush

A hybrid of a ranunculus and scabiosa. They both have great texture and size, but are usually pretty delicate so a hardier version of those.

Hydrangeas. Tons on them! It's been around awhile and come back around. They just look so lush and beautiful.

Oasis Bind Wire!!! It can literally work miracles

White and green! Always beautiful!

Coke with lots of ice... Full Sugar and Caffeine!

Oh! This was terrible! Back when I was a high school floral design teacher one of the teachers from the school had me and some high school girls come to her house to set up florals for a very small wedding there.

His soon-to-be husband asked me to place the "cake topper" figurine on the top of the cake BUT the problem was it wasn't actually a cake topper but rather an entire porcelain collectors item. It was WAY to heavy for the cake, but I confidently demonstrated to my students have to place it on up there and a few seconds later it fell down and smeared the entire back of the cake and left the top section demolished!!

I tried to cover my mistake with flowers, but the damage was done! I ran those girls out to the van as fast as we could and reminded them that the florist should never touch the cake! Life lessons there!

Every task takes way more steps than just getting flowers and putting them in a vase! We think of every details and getting blooms from point A to point B is no easy task!

Remember you are getting married that week so choose wisely what you want really have the manpower to handle! Your helpers make the biggest difference.

Don't be a b*tch to the photographers when you feel like they are moving slowly..... my pictures turned out so bad!

I LOVE to see the results! It so fun to watch someones ideas go from their head to an actual true vision.

I usually forget to bring snacks honestly, but I love to stop designing for a big lunch late in the day so I can sit the mess and see how much progress we have made in the day!
