It's a New Year!!



Happy New Year to all my family, friends, and customers.
December proved to be a very busy month for me and I didn't spend much time on my blogging. But starting now I will keep all of you current on what is happening at Sophia's Flowers & Event Planning.
I will show you the latest flowers I've designed, the weddings I've worked on, as well as the latest trends in flowers and wedding. This is the place to stop by and visit. You can also check out our website at www.Sophiasflowers.com

I recently worked on a casket piece for a dear friend of mine that passed away. She was a simple woman who was 90 years young. Her family wanted flowers that reflected that. I designed the casket spray with on 14 Roses. 11 white and 3 red. There was meaning to the colors and count of flowers but I never knew why, only the family did. I also designed a small 20inch cross with a mix of flowers. Very lovely.

In that same week, I coordinated a wedding at All Saints Church. It really turned out to be a beautiful winter wedding. The colors were eggplant and silver. The flowers were gorgeous and I know I will be getting calls on this lovely bouquet. One thing I thought was really nice were the short jackets the bride and bridesmaids wore at the church. They went so well with the gowns. In all the years I've worked weddings, especially winter ones, I've never seen girls have a jacket to compliment the wedding attire. I think it's a great idea for warmth and it looks good at the same time.
I welcome any and all comments here. Have a great day.
