Wedding at Ten Mile Station in Breckenridge, Colorado. Hand-raised Wildflowers for Bouquets.

For a few weeks this summer, I was carrying around both my camera and my new iPhone.  I decided to go with the Apple product very quickly, as it's very easy to use, and has great camera options.  So, I guess it is only fitting that I preface this blog as a tribute to tech legend, Steve Jobs, who has found a way to create a product that a small town mountain florist uses to reach a worldwide audience.  

The photos over the next few posts will be a mix of images from the phone (above, and from my not-so-pro regular camera, which produced the images below.  Except for the last one.  

This Rocky Mountain wedding had a bride carrying Snapdragons, Delphinium, Gerbera Daisies, Zinnia and Cosmos.  It reminds me of the wildflowers that cover the slopes of peak 9 of the Breckenridge ski resort. A short drive up a dirt road (you can make it in a Honda, just go slow) brings you to Ten Mile Station. 

A great way to share the good times are to carefully select a grandma-friendly trip down memory lane.  Just do a quick doublecheck is all I'm sayin'.

The bridesmaid bouquet didn't have any reds in it.  Both were wrapped in white ribbon.  Some of these flowers came from our private cutting garden.  We have painstakingly created a high alpine garden that has a short life, and a few of our lucky brides get to have these hand-planted, hand-watered, floral beauties that we brought up ourselves.

It would actually be a shame if we didn't share some of them, but this summer, our garden was looking really nice, and it was perfect timing for a few of our weddings.

Ten Mile Station has these huge hanging flower baskets around the property, and there's an amazing patch of Columbine that grow out front too.  So, really, it makes sense that we use some wildflowers that we've grown to put in the bouquets that we handcraft with love, right?
