Brighten Their Day
It’s always a good time to brighten someone’s day. But now, especially so. In the last week it has really hit me that I’m missing some people. I have had a small circle the past few months and I’m missing some people in the bigger circle. Can you relate? In a time when many of […]
Winter Flower Subscription
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
A Classic White Wedding at Farmer and 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 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 […]
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 […]
