Redding CA Florist: Whimsical Autumn Bouquet

The first week of September arrived with all the wonderful and beautiful symbolism's of the season. Beautiful cool weather. You can see the beginning subtleties of leaves turning color. I see girls running to Starbucks to get pumpkin spiced lattes. All inspiring things, but no events scheduled for me.

So of course I was itching for something creative to put my hands to and called up my friend Holly Kiker Photography. I asked if she wanted to spend her Friday afternoon taking pictures of pretty things and she of course jumped on board. Then I went and saw Tammy over Rustic Charm Rentals about showing off some of her pieces. I love sharing creative moments with others. Especially others who's talents and creativity are different from your own.

Redding CA Florist: Autumn Bride Bouquet

I believe, and highly recommend, that the best way to spend a Friday is doing something you love. I simply love to create and my life happens to revolve around creating in the world of flowers. So Friday's (and a lot of other days of the week) look very beautiful... in a messy, creative person kind of way.

Buckets of greenery and flowers. Leaves and trimmings strewn over the floor and counter top. Tape and ribbon unravled. I run out the door with my creations for a fun time with the girls, leaving a glorious mess behind me.

I don't mind the mess when I get home till the next morning and smile as I go to bed, satisfied with a day well spent.

Fall Themed Wedding Style Shoot

With Holly Kiker Photography

Fall wedding flowers are absolutely a dream. I love the intensity of the colors and the array of textures you can add in. When I feel the fall season begin to turn into a beautiful cool wonderland my mind begins to plan and scheme. I start to dream of autumn colored roses in wedding bouquets, wedding centerpieces and elaborate floral crowns.

It got to about 4pm on Tuesday and I was feeling desperate for something creative to do. So of course I wanted to do the most outrageous and elaborate thing I could possibly choose… a fall themed style shoot. So I texted Holly and asked if she was up for it. Which of course she said yes. And it was go time. I texted a few people about being a model, but of course everyone had things already going on. So once again, I am the model for the sake of needing creativity in my life. I went and found my wedding gown from almost a year ago now (what?) and squeezed in. I went and picked out fall wedding flowers and started throwing together the intense vibrant look that you see here today.

We headed out to Clover Creek Preserve in Redding CA and carried all of our props out to be near the pond. Everyone we passed smiled and were positive that our efforts would turn out wonderfully. There was even a hilarious moment that a bicyclist on the trail turned around to take a picture on his little tiny flip phone.

I am completely thrilled with how the shoot came together with a certain vintage vibe and I couldn’t be happier with the vibrant background of our location. The fall wedding flowers filled my heart with so much joy that now, a few days later, I'm still smiling.I am so excited for fall wedding flowers coming up this Autumn season and am looking forward to blessing my all of my beautiful brides.
