If you're not already excited about next week's luncheon, let's just say you're about to be.  Our floral sponsor for this event is Carolyn May of

Mayflowers Floral and Event Design.  

As you will see from the photos in this post, she is so good at what she does.  We can't wait to see what gorgeousness she creates for our spring soiree!  Without further ado, please enjoy a little introduction to Carolyn and her company:

"As a floral designer for almost twenty years, I use my sense of color, style and form, combined with my love of art, to create beautiful works of living art using blooms as my medium.  I love the way flowers transform a room.  I adore color, and my design philosophy is not just to match colors but to layer them. 

I cherish familiar traditions yet I love making new ones as well. Whether it’s a classic ballroom wedding or a modern museum party or a ranch-style shindig, I like helping couples realize their vision of their perfect day.  I delight in bringing together exquisite blossoms, beautiful textures and people in love as they start their new life together. 

Above all, I love being surrounded by family, friends and beauty in any form."

sponsor spotlight: rue de lis desserts

Would you do me a favor?  Check out this spotlight on Rue de Lis, creator of deliciousness and provider of the favors at our upcoming luncheon.  Yum!  Just one more reason to mark your calenders (as if you haven't already).

Enjoy!

"Rue de Lis, a home based dessert catering business, was started in 2011 by Hilary Cavanaugh. Hilary graduated from UVU's Culinary Arts program in 2008. She competed in many state and national level baking competitions from 2005-2008 and placed 4th in the SkillsUSA nation-wide all around baking competition. Hilary was also given the Junior Member of the year award by the ACF in 2007.

In the past Hilary has worked at several Utah bakeries, including Les Madeleine's, So Cupcake, and the Sweet Tooth Fairy. She competed with Sweet Tooth Fairy's owner on Cupcake Wars in 2012, where they won and returned for a second challenge.

Hilary is very passionate about baking and food, and spends her time continually learning and perfecting her techniques. She is so excited to have her own business now where she can be creative in her own way and work directly with customers.

Rue de Lis provides desserts for weddings, birthdays, corporate events and more. Her favorite events to work on are dessert bars where she can present a variety of treats that show the customer's personality."
