<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left">As a floral designer who specializes in wedding flowers, I have had the great fortune to become friends with a talented photographer, Tiffany Jane, and together we decided to have a contest wherein a randomly selected winner would receive a free bouquet and photo session for her bridals. After we drew the name from all of the entrants we were surprised to learn that the winner, Stacia, was also a contestant and winner in state pageants!</p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://www.myfavoriteflowers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/1.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 601px; HEIGHT: 346px" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1511" title="utah state Cinderella pegeant winner's bridals" alt="unique bridals" src="http://www.myfavoriteflowers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/1-1024x681.jpg" width="819" height="545"/></a></p>
Stacia had quite a story to tell us – she was a winner in several Utah State Cinderella Pageants from 2007 through 2010. To my question “Why did you decide to compete?” Stacia answered: “I first did it ‘cause I wanted to dress up, but after my first big state pageant I found out how much I gained personally from pageants - not only did I meet a ton of friends from around the state, I gained better poise, self presentation skills, better interviewing skills, and self confidence.” Then Stacia said that most of her dresses for the competitions were purchased from Dillard’s! Perfect! We knew exactly what to do for the photoshoot for Stacia’s bridals!<br/><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://www.myfavoriteflowers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/21.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 606px; HEIGHT: 368px" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1516" title="Bridals photoshoot in Dillard's" alt="" src="http://www.myfavoriteflowers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/21-1024x681.jpg" width="819" height="545"/></a></p>
Arranging for the photoshoot to take place at the Dillard’s in St. George, Utah brought us in contact with Tim, who we found to be a remarkably helpful store manager. I continue to be amazed at the friendly and professional staff who I encounter in the Dillard’s stores. Thank you!!!<br/><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://www.myfavoriteflowers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/15.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 304px; HEIGHT: 453px" class="size-large wp-image-1515 alignnone" title="White Calla Lily bridal bouquet with pearls and auqa blue ribbon accent" alt="" src="http://www.myfavoriteflowers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/15-681x1024.jpg" width="394" height="588"/> <img style="WIDTH: 298px; HEIGHT: 454px" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1513" title="Calla lily bridal bouquet" alt="" src="http://www.myfavoriteflowers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/9-681x1024.jpg" width="398" height="589"/></a></p>
For the connoisseur of beautiful flowers, allow me to mention that I arranged the Bridal Bouquet with white Calla Lilies tied with an aqua blue ribbon and accented with pearls on the holder. All Stacia’s favorites!<br/><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://www.myfavoriteflowers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/10.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 192px; HEIGHT: 262px" class="size-large wp-image-1514 alignnone" title="white wedding bouquet" alt="" src="http://www.myfavoriteflowers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/10-681x1024.jpg" width="250" height="372"/></a> <a href="http://www.myfavoriteflowers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/35.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 408px; HEIGHT: 263px" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1518" title="White bridal bouquet with Calla Lilies" alt="" src="http://www.myfavoriteflowers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/35-1024x681.jpg" width="558" height="374"/></a></p>
On the day of the photoshoot, Stacia brought the dresses she wore in the pageants and all of the amazing trophies that she won, and here is what we came up with. A beautiful bride, beautiful flowers, a talented photographer, lovely dresses … and a wonderful setting! I hope you enjoy!<br/><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://www.myfavoriteflowers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/24.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 621px; HEIGHT: 396px" class="size-large wp-image-1517 aligncenter" title="Utah state Cinderella Pegeant Winner in the bridal photoshoot at the Dillards" alt="" src="http://www.myfavoriteflowers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/24-1024x681.jpg" width="820" height="565"/></a></p>

<p>Lorena & Jake drove from Los Angeles, CA to tie the knot in beautiful Southern Utah. I enjoyed working with both of them and their families. Such warm, fun and friendly people! I was surprised and delighted when Lorena’s Dad greeted me in Russian.</p>

<p align="left">Well, there is a superstition – that it’s good luck to have rain on your wedding day. Guess what – there was very heavy rain while I was setting up a floral arch (outside). Jake was so nice – he created a tent for me out of a tarp so that I could stay dry while I was fixing flowers on the arch…and in my heart I was asking that the rain would stop by the time the ceremony would start. The rain stopped and the air was so fresh!!! This wedding was absolutely beautiful – with a very warm and homey atmosphere.<br/><br/>Light pink & white bridal bouquet. Flowers included: light pink Gerbera, white Hydrangea, white Lisianthus, Succulent plants.</p>
