Ask and you shall receive. A few of the summer flower subscribers have asked for another subscription option and I am here with good news. I will be offering weekly and bi-weekly flower subscriptions for the months of January, February, and March. The subscriptions are available to purchase by the month and also make great gifts. I will be choosing seasonal
A Blush + Burgundy Wedding
While setting up for Kristen and Bradley's wedding, one of my assistants asked if delivering the bouquets was my favorite part of the day. Truthfully, it's sometimes. Some times I can sense stress or high emotions in the room and I know that it is best to leave the flowers and quickly leave to let the wedding party get back to getting ready. Sometimes I don't actually see
Incorporating Blue into Weddings
When a bride tells me they want to have blue in their wedding, I admit it makes me feel a little anxious. The reason being--there are hardly any blue flowers. Thistle, delphinium, and hydrangea--that's it. If one of those flowers doesn't fit your look, well... You are out of luck. Luckily, delphinium fit Austyn's look perfectly and when she told me she wanted to use
Modern Fall Colors
Mauve is back! Those of you who remember the mauve of the '80s may be asking why but this is mauve in a new way. The warm, rosy tone mixes beautifully with fall colors and gives a more cozy feel from the blush tones we see in spring and fall. We played off the mauve and rust tones of the bridesmaid dresses from Morgan and Andrew's wedding, adding in burgundy, golden
Warm Neutrals
Blush has been trending in wedding design for several years. It is often paired with white, pink, or for contrast, burgundy. I have noticed a shift to warmer pairings more recently and was happy to mix the blush tones with peaches and corals for this wedding at City View. Carrie and Charles' original April wedding design was centered around coral peonies and mixed
A Flower-Filled Wedding Ceremony
A beautiful church and timeless, white flowers is the perfect match. That was the combination for Kendall and Aaron's wedding ceremony at St. Bernard Catholic Church. Kendall's goal was to fill the church with flowers and candles. We started outside. We draped the railings with garlands, added wreaths, and urns filled with flowers. The softness of the
A Colorful Summer Wedding
August is one of the prime months for flowers. EVERYTHING is blooming in a riot of color. When Megan said she wanted colorful flowers for her early August wedding to contrast against light blue dresses, I was ready. We picked up the light blue of the bridesmaid dresses with the periwinkle delphinium and added just about every color except red to set it
A Classic White Wedding at Farmer and the Frenchman
There is nothing like classic white! Hydrangeas, roses, and greenery are sure to make you smile when you look back years from now. Farmer and the Frenchman is a beautiful backdrop to it all, too. Due to rain, the ceremony was held inside but the space is still beautiful with the rustic wood, crystal chandeliers, and windows looking out onto the vineyard. The
Flower Bio – Zinnias
Zinnias are one of the quinessential summer flowers. People who do not know their name, would probably still recognize them and their bright color and happy face. Did you know that there are many, many varieties of zinnias? They come in different heights, shapes, and colors. Double blooms, single blooms, cactus style... There is a zinnia for everyone. Zinnias are
A Trending Color Palette
Blush pinks have been trending for the past several years, especially when paired with white or burgundy. However, I started to see a shift last year. Weddings were moving towards warmer tones by adding or substituting peach for blush and incorporating deeper gold tones. Blush also began becoming more saturated and moving towards mauve or a dusty rose tone. This
