Vendor Spotlight - Tea-cup

Paula Thomas, you have mad crazy skills. And you are fun to work with. And you are proof that the universe isn't fair if you bake like this and only weigh 100lbs.

Anywho . . .Rami, Paula and I all worked together at the same restaurant in Winter Park about a hundred years ago. Paula left the WP to head off to culinary school while Rami started working with Chris French at the Wildhorse Inn - starting the wedding catering business. I am pretty sure that I went skiing.Jump ahead a few years, Rami and I start Pick Me Flowers. After a few successful seasons focusing on flowers and decor, we recognized the need for local wedding coordinators. People who understand how to bridge the gap between"mountain time" and the rest of the world. So we seized our need to organize (and complete projects on time) and branched (or should I say blossomed???) into Pick Me Floral and Event Design Studio.


About this time Paula was returning from the Caribbean and starting her business in Denver (while making the desserts at Del Frisco's . . .need I say more?)




And these pictures are happy proof of our happy working relationship. We work together to design a theme that will be carried throughout the wedding day. We all believe in less environmental impact - organic cakes, yes! local and seasonal flowers, yes! We all have a love of the Colorado Rockies and we want to reduce our footprint (notice the beetle kill wooden cake stand?)
And one more quick thought on Paula and her mad crazy good skills. Do you see that Starbucks groom cake? John (the groom) loves a morning Carmel machiatto. This cake tasted EXACTLY like it. I don't know the secret. I simply know that if you book Paula Thomas for your wedding cake, you will be very happy with the results.

    I have enjoyed working with you this past couple of seasons and are proud to see how much you have accomplished.
    About the 100lb i carry around, lets just say it pays off to eat all natural and organic foods!
