Blue and white is a classic wedding palette and this design uses several classic wedding flowers. To be honest, I didn't plan the design to look like this. I was going to use thistle as a blue accent. But, the thistle did not come in. That happens sometimes and I have to improvise. So, I used classic blue hydrangeas and delphinium and the results were
When an English Major Marries a Science Teacher
Personal touches make a wedding so special. This wedding was full of details unique to the bride and groom, bright colors, and it was so much fun! I usually start blog posts with the personal flowers (bouquets, boutonnieres, etc.). The personal flowers were wonderful but the reception was the most unique part of this wedding. The bride has an English degree
Woodland Inspired Design
We love teachers. I taught music for 10 years, including one year in the EVSC. I am also an EVSC graduate. My mother spent her entire career teaching art and english in the EVSC. So, we happily provide centerpieces for the Evansville Teachers Association dinner each May which recognizes retiring teachers in the EVSC and those who have taught for 20 years. The
Blush and Burgundy Wedding
Megan and Logan were married this past Saturday with their reception at Cambridge Golf Club. Again, we were lucky to work with another sweet couple. This weekend's palette was blush and burgundy. This color scheme is one we have worked with before but I have to admit that this combination was my favorite take on the popular color combo. We used burgundy peonies
Coral Beauty
Coral and navy are both trending in the wedding world and I love it. I find beauty in all weddings but I admit to having a fondness for bright colors. Coral is high on my list right now. If you feel the same way that I do, you are going to love Kim and Darron's beautiful wedding decor. You can't go wrong with 'Coral Charm' peonies! These coral beauties are mixed
Tips For Arranging Spring Flowers
Spring has sprung! Spring blooming trees and shrubs are covered with flowers. Daffodils, tulips, and other bulbs are in their full glory. Trees are covered in bright green new leaves and perennials are pushing up through the ground after their winter rest. It's natural to want to bring some of that spring abundance into your interior spaces. I'm here to today with a
We Never Repeat A Recipe
Some laugh when I talk about flower recipes. Having a recipe for pieces in an event is a very common industry practice. Something that is different about us versus some other designers is that we never repeat a recipe. When Kelsey asked for a peach and wine palette, I immediately thought of my go to peach choices--'Shimmer' roses and peach hypericum berries. What
Our New Studio!
Our new studio! Well, we are getting there... My husband and I bought an amazing piece of property two years ago. We have almost 4 acres on a lake in a wonderful neighborhood. The house needed a lot of updating but it was definitely livable (and we have and are continuing to update it) but one of the greatest things was this building behind the house and the
Classic White Wedding
A classic white wedding is a timeless choice. Carl and Gretl's wedding on March 31st beautifully echoed the classic style of the Evansville Country Club. Beyond the beautiful flowers and venue, they were a beautiful couple to work with. They were both so friendly and kind. It was a pleasure to be a small part of their day. Peonies, roses, lisianthus,
Red Floral Inspiration
Happy Valentine's Day! In honor of the holiday, I'm presenting some red floral inspiration and showing you that there are more choices than red roses. Roses are a great choice, as seen in many of these pieces we have created. The above bouquet is filled with red flowers including roses, spray roses, cockscomb, alstroemeria lilies, hypericum berries, and safari
