Keepin’ it Real with our homegrown Princess Brides

You know what beats pictures of Royal Weddings?  Real Weddings.  Real Weddings in Palm Springs? Even better. My Little Flower Shop’s weddings, of course, rock the casbah. (oooh..Moroccan themed desert wedding…somebody write that down)!

Once again, thanks to Mellany Miller Photography for the amazing images.  Attention brides: notice how the placement and style of the flowers accents the location and vice-versa.  More on this in a later post.  But for now, enjoy these beautiful photos.

April Showers tend to annoy us, but we love May flowers (and beautiful May Brides)!

We had to share a few shots from this gorgeous day.  Thanks to Mellany Miller Photography for capturing the joy and love in the air.  Note to brides: Do not fear color!  Color is your friend!  See how the rich saturated hues in this bouquet set off the elegant dress (and glowing bride)!

Mama said there’d be days like this. She also said I’d be taller.

Mothers tell us many things.  “Eat your spinach.”  “Is that what you’re wearing?” “Play something for Grandma.” They often don’t say what we want to hear, but a wise man I know in San Francisco told me the secret of talking to moms and hearing what you need regardless of what’s said.  It’s very simple.
Mothers love their children.  Even when theiy are steaming mad, there’s a current of affection running through every word, it’s just buried in there.  So every time your Mom says anything, what she means is “I love you.”
“Take a sweater, it’s chilly”  = I love you
“You never call, you never write…” = I love you
“Those pants are not flattering, why did you spend that kind of money?” = I love you.
She loves you.  Bear with her.  Goodness knows she bore with you.
Don’t forget…Sunday is Mother’s Day.
And don’t forget…those edible fruit arrangements you see on TV are really unattractive, and draw flies.
Love you Mom!  xxx
