Gush

Fall has me wrapped around its finger.

Magnolia leaves, Yelloween Lilies, Cobra Lilies, Allium, Eryingium, Horsetail, Smokebush, Eremurus, and the most beautiful copper colored Roses... ooof times two!

Smile, you have a new apron!

First day we got to wear our new matching aprons. (If you can't tell, Jessie is super-pumped!)

Flower photo shoot, behind the scenes

Here are a few shots from a photo shoot we did for the Encantado Resort's wedding brochure.





We had the professional skills of Kathy from InSight Foto and Melissa kept the lighting under control, sort-of.



We had a blast going through Fred's antique collection of Spanish crosses as well as silk and embellished textiles.

Tweek...

Tweek, tweek...

We called this one "The Sacred Burning Corazon of Santa Fe."

Puppy Love

We are all self-proclaimed cat people around here...but it's dogs like these that make our hearts melt!

This little puff-ball happened to be the star of the show in his role as "ring bearer."

Charlie, pictured here, is our neighbor at the studio.

Somehow, he always knows when it's lunch time...how can you resist that face? 



Just another day at the office!

Bo-kaaayyy

Bouquet 101 from Jessie Baca on Vimeo.


Here's a quick motion video of a wedding bouquet assembly by Jessie B.  Disclaimer: this bouquet comes nothing close to the masterwork of A & P's owner, Fred.  His hand-wired bouquets will astonish you with superb craftsmanship.

Sneak Preview

Here's a little peek of this weekend's wedding.  There was a brisk Autumn chill in the air and the harvest elements were running strong!  Not only did we get to use beautiful flowers but we even got down with gold wheat, pumpkins, gourds, crab apple, artichokes and of course....pomegranates.

More to come soon!

Take all of me!

Melissa whipped this little beauty up the other day.  It showcases burgundy Dahlias, chocolate Cymbidium Orchids (Swoon!) Pinsuchion Protea, Cherry Brandy roses (our fave!) and Coffee berry!

It was so pretty I needed to make a movie!  I swear, if we could send it down a runway to flaunt it's stuff, we would!

So beautiful, it hurts.

This arrangement makes my heart ache.  The roses give be butterflies and the dusty purple hues of the ti leaves and eucalyptus are enough to make a girl get all googlie.  I'm also a sucker for succulents...with anything.

Melissa and I nearly peed our pants when these amazing Kale came in yesterday.  I like to tell Shea that is where babies come from....I think he believes me.

These roses, paired with the "Sea Holly" variety of eyrigium, aka thistle...make me go "ooof!"

We love the work we do!

Besides being surrounded by amazing flowers all day....we have a little fun too!
