After a very stressful week, I was more than happy to help my friends from church with the flowers for their open house yesterday. Jeff and Alexis got married about 2 weeks ago and came back to CT to celebrate with their friends here. The open house was held on the 4th floor of our church building in New Haven, CT (you can see some of the views in some of the pictures!)The wedding colors chosen were chocolate brown, white, and green. Alexis preferred all white flowers, so we selected some lovely flowers from the floral wholesaler. The flowers that were chosen were lilies( which made the place smell fabulous!), stock, tulips, freesia and my favorite, pussy willow. It was really fun to work on a monochromatic scale; it was so elegant. In total, we spent less than $100 and had 80 tulips, 30 lilies, 10 stems of freesia, and 10 stems of stock. not bad. I even had enough for a boutonnière! Anyway, enjoy the pictures!

Jill the flowers are gorgeous! I love the all white.
Jill, is there anything you can't do? Wow, very impressive. How are you by the way? Long time no talk.
Jillian, you are amazing. Remember how beautifully you did the centerpieces at my reception? I will always cherish those memories (and pictures!) I LOVE the various flowers, all in white though. What a beautiful idea!
