Thanksgiving the Laura Miller way

Growing up we always had a large group of people for Thanksgiving dinners, and I love that tradition. Now that I host Thanksgiving at my house I and welcome those who join in to my immediate family with open arms, the more the merrier. Believe it or not flowers and decor typically aren't my focus, it more the food. I love to cook and I love to entertain, but to do both can be a lot for me to take on. I starting planning my decor a little early so I would have the ability to do both. I hope each of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving as my guests and I did.

enjoy,

Recent Orders

Doing a single order can be challenging for a few reasons:

1st because I'm studio based, and I don't keep a selection of flowers on hand to choose from, but instead I purchase all my flowers per orders received to guarantee the freshest overall product.

2nd flowers come in bunches of 10 stems for the most part, and to get a beautiful overall combination that works well together in several sizes and shapes without having enough product to make several arrangements can be pretty difficult to do.

3rd It typically takes me hours to fine tune and make something I proud of having just a handful of items on hand.

but my own cutting garden comes in really handy when needed the small touches I love to make each piece unique...

All in all, I love that I have to opportunity to make so many individual gems to share for a birthday,  an anniversary, a thank you,  a new baby, a congratulations, a holiday,  an I'm sorry, and just because I was thinking about you.

It all boils down to I LOVE what I do, and this you may hear over and over again, but I'm one lucky girl to be doing something that I have such great passion for. To all the people in 2010 who ordered one of my "little gems" THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for your orders.

enjoy,

Selena & Vincent

The Grand Finale of 2011 was the marriage of Selena & Vincent! 

 The day was breathtaking, the ceremony at Skyline Community Church, nestled high in the Oakland hills and the reception overlooking the entire bay at Hong Kong East Ocean. 

The view from the reception was so stunning I even had to stop and take photos as the sun was setting before I entered the building.

Wen-Shing & Wei-Hyng

What a way to end the wedding season with 3 weddings!

Congratulations to Wen-Shing and Wei-Hyng on your marriage.

I realized as I was working this past weekend that orange took preference over all the other colors this season. It started with a lot of purple themed weddings, and then I had a couple pinks, a couple reds, one mainly blue, one yellow, a couple whites, and even a couple greens, but the mango, persimmon, peach was the most popular this season.
