Easter Blooms and Bunnies

Easter is one of my favorite spring days, as all of nature seems to participate in the celebration. Daffodils trumpet, birds announce their return triumphantly, trees explode with blossoms that shower down like confetti in the April winds. 

For some people, it's just another day, good for a hike in the sunshine. For others, important religious rituals reach their crescendo. And for others still, it's all about the hats. 

Then, there's the chocolate. 

At TriFecTa, we've brought in treats from our favorite local chocolate makers. We have milk and dark chocolate bunnies from Chocolat, as well as boxes of chocolate bunny truffles in lemon, toffee and mint. They are so cute and beyond yummy.


Boxes of 3 Bunny Truffles: $18.00
Large Chocolate Bunnies: $12.00
Jumbo Bunnies: $40.00


















  
At Christmastime, we introduced you to Yolka chocolates, the holiday gift sensation that was featured in Oprah magazine. For Easter, creator Marian Rivkind has designed the prettiest chocolate Easter ($15) eggs wrapped in turquoise foil paper. Perfect for a special Easter basket or hostess gift.



We have bundles of beautiful spring blossoms, custom centerpieces and planters available as well. 
Be sure to place your orders 24 hours in advance to secure your Easter centerpieces and gifts! 801-364-4606 or orders@ tfadesign.com.

Jolien + Clark: Winter Dutch Masterpiece

Here is a brief look at of one of my favorite weddings of 2011. The setting was a little chapel in Park City with a reception following at Stein Eriksen Lodge. The feeling was winter chic with a focus on Dutch flowers, as the bride is Dutch and knew what she wanted: anenomes, amaryllis, lilac, tulips, all white with textures of green. The guest list was less than 20 people, including children, an intimate affair in the mountains that focused on family, food and celebration! Melissa Hagen of Soiree was the coordinator and together we thought up the floral "carpet" that covered the single, huge dining table. 
Here's a link to a sneak peek from photographer Tracey Turpen. http://www.tracyturpenblog.com/?p=12182.  
I hope to share more pics of the flowers soon!

Hot Off the Presses!

I love magazines. I love a well-designed, eye-catching cover. I love taking a moment to myself to dissect an issue, first doing a quick flip-through, deciding what deserves a second look, then diving in to consume it all. It doesn't matter if it's a fashion magazine or The New Yorker or Fly Rod & Reel. I have a system and it's like meditation. Give me a stack of magazines and I'll check out for hours.

Bridal magazines make me especially giddy, simply because they cover a happy topic and because they are full of flowers, of course! The images in bridal magazines are so beautiful and appealing, they are practically edible, bursting with sumptuous fabrics, mouthwatering cakes and dazzling flowers. 

I especially love it when I open a bridal magazine and find coverage our work. It's so flattering! I thought I'd share some recent attention we've received. Thanks to the editorial staffs of Salt Lake/Park City Bride & Groom and Utah Bride & Groom. We are elated to adorn your pages!

 






































The sweet and seasonal boutonniere above, featuring ranunculi and acorns, was designed for the wedding of our own Lindsay!
Can you guess who this is? It's Lindsay! She's holding the bouquet she designed, a bombshell of orange dahlias, garden roses and bittersweet.
