e-mail

It turns out my flowers@sarahwinward.com e-mail address has not been working for a couple of weeks...gasp! I am in the middle of some site renovations (site finished, new blog coming soon!) and it got scrapped somewhere in the process. Over the next few days please contact me at sjwinward@yahoo.com. Sorry if you have e-mailed me and been left in the dark!

UPDATE: The e-mail on my website is back up and running as of 1/22!

Because a post without pictures doesn't seem like much of a post at all...here are some pretties for you. A few blurry shots of flower arrangements, can you guess who?
The green on is here, and the pink one is here.

rachel's flowers

a few details from rachel's wedding in september, photos by natalie neal. I loved working with rachel. She had all greens for her centerpieces: olive branches, thistle, and wheat. I got to make that little hair piece for her too (only, i wish i was there to pin the grooms boutonniere on right side up!)

Utah Bride and Groom

I am excited to have a few flowers in the 2012 issue of Utah Bride and Groom magazine's fashion spread. All photos by Heather Nan at the Grand America hotel, hair and makeup by versa artistry.

ilsa & aaron

Thought I'd start the new year off by showing you one of my favorite weddings from summer 2011, Ilsa and Aaron.

Brides like Ilsa make me love my job. She had her own ideas and vision for her wedding, and I had so much fun collaborating with her. Ilsa had a huge box of antlers that she brought to me to incorporate into the flowers....yes those are antlers in her bouquet. We used a large mix of garden roses, dahlias, and tulips for her flowers, accompanied by begonia leaves, lots of herbs,  plums and grapes on the vine. We built that simple chuppa from birch branches and draped a simple marigold garland along the top.

Ilsa and Aaron's wedding was held at Empire lodge in Deer Valley this August, it is so beautiful up there. All photos by Kate Osborne. This wedding was featured on Green wedding shoes. 

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to attend a class in new york taught by Ariella Chezar. She is such an incredibly talented and kind woman, it was a dream come true to meet her. I made this arrangement in her class. I love this combination, it is winter, but not holiday.
