I just had to share the pictures from my son & his date's prom night. It is hard as a mother to accept the fact that my baby is growing up. But at the same time I am so proud of him & the young man he is growing up to be.
We decided to step away from the traditional this year & opted for a chocolate brown tux to compliment the striking shade of green of her dress. He looked so handsome & just as mom had predicted, he was the only guy at the prom with the brown tux. Score one for mom!!

As his personal florist, for her wristlet & his boutioneere, I chose to use a bright, tropical shade of orange sweetheart roses accented with shades of green & orange ribbons & green rhinestones. I added green pearl head pins to the center of the roses for an added touch. A design that is both youthful & fun. This is not your Grandmother's old fashioned corsage!

They had a wonderful evening full of fun memories & returned home safely, although both bit tired.

I love the pictures. Especially the middle one. Very handsome son Tammy and lovely girl.
Isn't it exciting to have your children all dressed up for prom. I remember mine. They grow up so fast!

My baby had his senior prom too. (I know you saw the pics.) Your son is so handsome and his date is beautiful. How fun to have been able to do their flowers.

those flowers are beautiful...how special to create something special for them and what a memory for you both...

The White Iris

The Iris danced across
the ancient Grecian skies. Gliding with her
embossed
satiny milken sides.

Her lithe and nimble limbs moved methodically...
From her cream white petals to her supple stem. The nectar that she carried was transposed into a hymn.

"I must use my moments wisely, for they shall soon pass away... And be lost to me forever... A mere memory of my yesterdays...

"Thus she sung
And thus she cried.
Her voice set to harp
And lyre. So true a call
So true a heart did Zeus himself see...

"Come now unto
Mt Olympus

Oh white Iris,
And our announcer be"...
She floated along
In such a curving grace...
Transposed she was
In time and space...

The blessed arched path
Which she did go,
Became the journey for
All our eternal rainbows.
