Starlight Rain Event Decor & Floral Design

Starlight Rain is moving!

2010-10-21T08:32:00.000-07:00

Well everyone, it has been a fabulous time for Starlight Rain. We have loved every wedding, every event, and all our brides! But without further adieu, I wanted to let everyone that I am moving on! Pierpont Place has offered me a position as an Event Coordinator, and Floral Designer. I'm sure you know that I have been doing quite a bit of work for them this past year, and it was only time before I would work there full time! I am going to keep this site up for the time being, but if you would like to contact me for florals (or events) please email me: ashley@pierpontplace.com. I would love to do your florals for your event! Call me to book an event at Pierpont Place!

I love this venue so much, I even had my own wedding there - It's truly a special space.

Thank you for all your support! Please contact me whenever you'd like :)

xoxo,
Ashley Francis-Evans

2010-08-25T18:44:00.000-07:00

Kathryn's wedding was special, it was my cousin :) They had a nice reception in a backyard, with orange and purple as her colors. Isn't she gorgeous! Congrats woman!
Aren't August weddings the bomb...

Taeler, Bacherlorette Party

2010-08-24T11:43:00.000-07:00

So.. I worked a bachelorette party last month, it was styled and designed by Kristi Flower from Kendalls Media. I wanted to share some pics (Starlight Rain provided the Floral Design of course!) go to her blog for more pics!!

My wedding!

2010-08-24T09:48:00.001-07:00

It's been FOREVER! I need to update with my most recent endeavors..but for now, here is a sneak peek of my own wedding last Friday :) Pictures by Kendalls Media!

Bridal Bouquet

2010-07-13T20:57:00.000-07:00

I made a bridal bouquet today..PINKS! Yeah..might have been a little bored for a second with the first pic..just playing around with the whole editing thing...not my forte..

Katie, July 3, 2010

2010-07-12T11:48:00.002-07:00

I don't quite have many pictures yet, but I'm slowly stealing some off Kristi's facebook (www.kendallsmedia.com) hehe
Katie and Matt were married at the Point in the Huntsman Center. Awesome view. Especially for fireworks that were going off that night...

A little something..

2010-07-12T11:48:00.001-07:00

Made a little something the other day...

Bridal Bouquet

2010-07-12T11:44:00.001-07:00

I didn't have my Canon with me, but I got a couple of pics of a beautiful bridal bouquet I made last week. Also had an arrangement made to match. I wish I got better pictures, but you can get the gist...LOVED it.

Angie, July 3, 2010

2010-07-05T17:47:00.000-07:00

Angie was one of my brides last weekend! I was excited to do yet another event at Noah's in South Jordan. We hung a ton of lanterns! I dropped off her bouquet at the Salt Lake Temple, and she was just GORGEOUS. Ladies, you would all be jealous of her dress. It was fabulous! I heard the reception went pretty late..party woman!

Megan, April 10, 2010

2010-07-05T17:26:00.000-07:00

I know this is a super late posting, but oh well :D Thank you to Jason McGrew Photography for these pictures. I wish I had a professional photographer at every one of my weddings. hehe. This wedding reception was held at Canterbury Place in Bountiful. Megan is now my sister in law! I was more than happy to do her flowers for her. She chose pink and clover green for her colors, and everything was beautiful!! Congrats woman. xo

Erin, June 12, 2010

2010-06-21T19:00:00.001-07:00

Erin was such a wonderful bride! She was eclectic, and it definitely showed in this wedding. We hung lavendar all around the yard, and used all different types of vases we had collected - we really wanted a vintage look. Turned out so cute. I hope she sends me some pictures!

Pride 2010 Candy Buffet

2010-06-14T18:40:00.000-07:00

Being that Candy Buffets are a Starlight Rain Specialty..I was asked once again to prepare a fabulous candy buffet for a Pride Celebration. WAY bigger and better than last year! There are about 22 different candies (wish I got a better picture, sometimes you can't ask your boyfriend to take pictures if you want them to turn out the way you want. hahahahah)But I loved it. Want pricing? Send me an email and I'll send you a quote right away.

My first Cascading Bouquet!

2010-06-14T18:36:00.001-07:00

Oh yes...the dreaded cascade! I've never done one before, but a bride that was getting married at Pierpont Place wanted one. So. There is a first time for everything! Red roses, purple callas, and black lily grass rounded out this crazy bouquet. I mean really. I was scared to make it! But it turned out pretty cool. :D

Mariah 6-12-10

2010-06-14T18:30:00.001-07:00

I loved doing this wedding so much. Mariah and Brady let me do pretty much whatever I wanted! They were going for a garden/natural theme, and I'm so happy with the way it all turned out. I love Purples. I used Lisanthus, Freesia, Purple Hydrangea, to name a few... and some wild rose bushes from the bride. Everything turned out pretty fabulous :)

Michelle's Anniversary flowers

2010-06-02T14:24:00.000-07:00

Just a little something I did a few week's ago for an anniversary..

What I have been doing...

2010-06-02T14:17:00.000-07:00

Sigh. I know it may seem like I've been gone for a while..but I've been BUSY helping Pierpont Place with all their events! Haven't really had a chance to update with any pics, but here's a few for a wedding we did there. I don't really know how often they update their blog or website, but you should hit it up for some pics of the most recent events that have happened there! I love Pierpont! It's really an awesome place. Awesome enough, I'm having my own wedding there this year :)

Spring is here!

2010-04-25T17:10:00.000-07:00

Spring is here!! I LOVE these purple hyacinths. They smell absolutely wonderful...and the white ranunculas are PERFECT aren't they? Gorgeous. I do love Spring. I made these for a mock up for a bride yesterday but she had to cancel our appointment..which means I now have a cute arrangement for my dining table :)

Bridal Show 4-17-10

2010-04-17T17:37:00.001-07:00

Well everyone, I'm going to have to say, this was the fastest Saturday that I have ever spent. The day went so fast! There were so many brides!! It was pretty awesome. I'm so glad I got to meet all of you! I hope to talk to you soon :) Expo pictures never really turn out awesome. Oh well. Here you go anyway..

Rosario 4-10-10

2010-04-05T19:29:00.000-07:00

UPDATE! Got the pictures back...yipeee

Ok, so this is the only picture that I have from the wedding I did last Saturday, but my wittle friend Ms. Lacie should have some good ones soon...she took a bunch of pics! Just wanted to give a little sneak peak of the Blue, Green, and Brown wedding I did for Rosario. :)

Celisse & Bryan 3/12/10

2010-03-13T09:43:00.000-08:00

My most recent bride Celisse was having a traditional ceremony, then having a circus theme for her reception! She only needed flowers for her ceremony, but they were beautiful. I'll post more once she sends me some pics. Congrats girl! I hope it was fabulous. :D

Update: oh yeah baby, Celisse sent me some beautiful pics!!! They're so awesome!! Thank you!!

Christmas so far..

2009-12-09T16:47:00.000-08:00

OH man, Christmas is my all time favorite!! At least part of my house is festive :) Below is our first REAL Christmas tree!! I'm going to have to say, it's a test of love to put up a tree with your significant other. I about killed my boyfriend during the process. He's never had a real tree before!!!! what the crap. I had to put the lights on. Where was my dad? He usually does this stuff. So confusing...

This is my front porch wreath! I guess I was trying to take the worst picture ever. OH well. It did turn out cute tho..in real life. :D

I made a birthday arrangement for my friend's mom. It's so sweet, on her own birthday, she gives her mom flowers. I suppose to thank her for giving birth? ha. So cute.

RJ's Engagement 11/21/09

2009-11-22T12:57:00.000-08:00

Awww my friend's little brother proposed yesterday! We made a couple of arrangements to decorate the location - I hope she said yes. lol :) I'm sure she did! RJ picked out the flowers and everything. So so cute! Congrats to them!!

All I have to say about this day is..it was HOT. Those umbrellas were VERY needed. Need some? Rent them from Allstar Party Rentals!

Stacie, Thanksgiving Point

2009-11-14T09:43:00.001-08:00

Wooohoo! Stacie saw my blog and saw I didn't have pictures of her wedding, so she sent me some! This was my very first wedding ever, and I will be forever grateful for her letting me do hers! Thanks Stacie. You saved me :)

Randoms

2009-11-14T09:27:00.000-08:00

Yes, this post is named Randoms because these are just random pictures of little events that I've done, corporate accounts, bridal shows, etc etc. so..yeah..

Pierpont Place Events

2009-11-14T09:19:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I do a little side work and help Pierpont Place with their events. Their entire staff is awesome, and can PUT ON AN EVENT! I've even had a New Years Party at their venue in Salt Lake. It's an awesome location, and if you need an event space, you should check them out! www.pierpontplace.com

Adrian, Kamas

2009-11-14T09:12:00.000-08:00

Adrian, a softball coach at the University of Utah was one of those brides that just didn't know anything about flowers. And that, my friends, was fun. I usually put together a collage of flowers that I think will work with her colors (Melon & Marine Blue) and she picks and chooses. It was a small wedding, but a long drive to Kamas! Me being forgetful, forgot to take a picture of the bouquet! My favorite part :( I love white flowers. So much in fact, I may have them at my own wedding someday...

Susie, Gallivan Center

2009-11-14T09:03:00.001-08:00

This bride was such a pleasure to work with. Her colors were champagne, red, and we added plum purple to the mix. It was lovely. The weather didn't seem to like us at first, but there was a perfect little window of sunshine for the ceremony! Perfect timing. I asked my friend Keomony to help me with pictures on this one. I thought the pics turned out awesome. Ladies, he is single! hehe

Linh, Noah's

2009-11-14T08:04:00.001-08:00

This wedding was for a bride named Linh. Unfortunately, my first bride that wasn't very happy with her florals. :( I guess there is a first time for everything. I thought the blue orchids were absolutely beautiful! Her colors were blue and silver. If you didn't know...there aren't many flowers that are blue. Very hard to do. I think for the most part, for all the things that went wrong at this wedding, the pictures turned out well. haha.

Danielle, Wellsville UT

2009-11-11T17:39:00.001-08:00

My first Cowboy wedding! It turned out sooo cute. The centerpieces were decorated with western themed cookie cutters. Her colors were Yellow, White, and Fern. We had to drive out to Wellsville, but it turned out beautiful!

Chanelle, Heritage Gardens

2009-11-11T17:29:00.001-08:00

If you can't tell, Chanelle's colors were white, red, and black. I seriously LOVED all the red rose petals we used. 12000 petals flown in from Equador. I'd say it was a success. :)

Jessica, Tuscany

2009-11-11T17:24:00.000-08:00

This was a small wedding I did for a girl that found me through Morgan Jewelers. It's been very nice working with them! If anyone is looking for an engagement ring, go to Morgan Jewelers and they should give you a Gift Certificate from me! Jessica's dress was absolutely amazing. I didn't really get many pictures from this wedding, but you get the gist.

Brittany, Bountiful

2009-11-04T21:06:00.000-08:00

Ah yes, my favorite one so far. I love my wittle Britt! She looked gorgeous!! I almost didn't even recognize her. She looked like she walked right out of a magazine. Lucky for me, she let me do EVERYTHING. Food, decor, flowers. It was an exciting day! Congrats girl!

Tessa, Heritage Gardens

2009-11-04T20:59:00.001-08:00

Now, this bride is quite special. She just happens to be my sister in law!

Lucky for me, they felt obligated to use the florist in the family to do their flowers. haha! jk.

This first picture is so cute because those are her darling nephews, and they seem to just LOVE that they're wearing a tux :)

Their wedding reception was at Heritage Gardens last August.

oh yeah...and I'm going to be an Aunt now..so I found out last Sunday... :D

Brittany, American Fork

2009-11-04T20:40:00.000-08:00

This wedding was for a bride named Brittany. She called me on a last minute whim!

Her colors were Sage green, gold, and dark purple. I LOVE hydrangea

so I am happy she went with it. I only met her for a few moments, but I hope

her day went beautifully! Her cake is gorgeous right!? Kali's Kakes does a

fantastic job. I can't wait to work with her again.

Ashley C.; West Jordan, Utah

2009-11-04T20:29:00.000-08:00

The following pics are from a bride named Ashley. Her colors were Dark Purple and Orange. I must say, I was quite excited to work with her because she wasn't picky with her flowers, she just wanted them to have dahlias. And dahlias I gave her! She found me at the Bridal show at the South Towne Expo Center.

How funny that I knew her Maid of Honor...Ashley. :)

We are trying a blog this year!

2009-11-04T20:06:00.000-08:00

Thank you for visiting my blog! I wanted to share more pictures than just the fancy schmancy pics, just because. My website is no longer up, because I wanted to try this blog thing...see how I liked it. I like talking about the bride, my experiences, etc etc. I hope you enjoy. Especially if you have an event coming up, I REALLY hope you enjoy. :)
