No longer working full-time

School has started so I have just been helping out at Rexburg Floral when I can and when they need the extra help. They have hired a new intern for the fall semester so she has been helping them out a lot now.

The high schools in the area had their homecomings and I helped out a lot and did some boutonnieres and corsages for the kids.

I love doing boutonnieres with the bullion wire! It looks so much more natural. And I love doing them with spray roses instead of one huge rose.

Everyday in August

The mother wanted an arrangement for her daughter that was "supposed" to have a baby boy. I asked her why she said "supposed" and she said that she didn't trust ultrasounds. haha so I made it kinda unisex but I did add some blue delphinium. :)

Also for a new baby boy.

I'm getting way better at the shape of my dozens. I love doing them with bigger, more open roses. It just looks like more.

Gaye couldn't come in today because she was super sick, and not only that but she didn't have any balance; no equilibrium. We don't know what it is but she's been complaining about being dizzy a lot lately. I feel bad. She sounded terrible on the phone. Marianne came in to the rescue and we worked together all day. She had Weston for the second half because she didn't have a babysitter for the afternoon. It was super busy in the morning until about 12 and then it totally died down to almost nothing. It was good and we got a lot accomplished.
I love this pastel arrangement.This is the same arrangement from Teleflora from two posts ago. We got another one and so I made it. It is really hard to make and make cute, but at least this one wasn't going to a competitor. :) I liked how it turned out though. It could totally be a wedding bouquet.

Maybe that's why they call it Everyday...

This is just some of the arrangements I do a lot, pretty much everyday!

I just love this vase and was really surprised when the guy picked it out. It is $17.95 alone.

One of my most favorite designs. I just love doing arrangements in these bright colored baskets.

Fresh Blossom Potpourri

A happy birthday bouquet that no one else likes to do.

Another happy birthday present bouquet that no one likes to do but me.

I'm getting better at bows!!!

This guy came in right before closing time and wanted an arrangment in a different, keepsake vase. We pulled out a bunch of different kinds and Jaime sold him on the Coke glass (you can't really tell). And then he wanted a Dr. Seuss arrangement. This is what we came up with in his low budget. I think it turned out way fun and exciting. I just wished we had allium. We just tried to do cool shapes, colors and textures to bring out the Dr. Seuss feel.

For a baby girl...

This arrangement went to President Eyring's wife and the next one went to President and Sister Clark who are the president and matron of Brigham Young University-Idaho.

Hand-tied Bouquet

We got a Teleflora order for a girl and they gave us a heads up that she works for one of our competitors in town. So we made it really nice. In the Teleflora picture, it looks like it is hand-tied so that's the way I did it. It looked like a bridal bouquet in a vase. It was super cute.
