Botanica - I'm Going To Miss This

I can't believe it's finally time for me to leave Botanica! Time has gone by way too fast! I will be heading back to the freezing state of Idaho to finish up my schooling. Then hopefully I will come back to the sunshine state!

Tampa Bay Museum of Art: 

The last couple of weeks we have some beautiful weddings as usual. Our first wedding was held at the Tampa Bay Museum of Art. Which is always an amazing venue. We decorated the arch with cherry blossoms and fringed tulips. The flowers really brightened up the outside space and all the colors really popped. Right before the bride came down the aisle we rolled out her aisle runner and had it secured for her to walk. This was my first time staying for the ceremony so I was pretty excited! The bride looked so beautiful walking down the aisle. I love love love weddings!!

 For this reception Ian ordered three huge olive tree which was a bit fun getting into the main reception area. Thank goodness for the bay doors on the side. The trees really filled up the room and created an amazing atmosphere for the rest of the reception decor. We filled the rest of the room with white farmhouse tables and lined some garden style tulip arrangements down the center. For the round tables we alternated with ranunculus and orchid arrangements lined with boxwood. We then added candles and votives which always makes the space feel more romantic and intimate for guests

Boca Grande Wedding: 

For my last wedding I got to be on the Boca Grande crew! I love Boca we always have amazing weddings there and the space is always different for each wedding. Every time we go to Boca I always want to stay and enjoy the space. I mean look at this amazing view!

This couple had a gorgeous setup outside on the croquet lawn. They decided to go with a plastic top tent which looks amazing at night. Guests first attended the ceremony on the right side of the lawn then made their way over to the tent/reception area.

Ian Prosser and I. So lucky to get to work with him for the past two semesters.

I'm going to miss everyone at Botanica and all the crazy wedding weekends. I don't think I will really know what to do with myself on weekends now. It's already been a couple weeks and I am back in school but I am definitely still on Botanica time.
I have been so blessed to have such an amazing opportunity and I am so glad that Ian and the Botanica crew helped me so much along the way. I couldn't have asked for a better internship. I can't wait to finish school and continue my career in floral design and event planning. I hope to come back and work with everyone again in the near future. 
I plan to keep up my blog and keep you all updated on my floral adventures and ideas so keep checking back!
