Spring: Pink and Purple

This arrangement was really simple but i loved how it came together. Pink French tulips, purple stock, and white freesia. It smelled fabulous.

 

Lindsay+Gard

Remember this sneak peek? Here are the real photos courtesy of Kylie Nixon. I really loved how Lindsay’s flowers turned out. Sometimes flowers just come together really serendipitously. The texture of the garden roses and ranunculus, the depth of the dark centered anemonies, and green scabiosa pods created the perfect “mostly white” bouquet with a few subtle pops of color. I love Lindsay and Gard and I am so happy I could be apart of their special day!

In these flowers: garden roses, anemonies, ranunculus, scabiosa pods, hydrangea, African lilies, hypericum berries, stock, lamb’s ear, billy buttons, lisianthus, etc

March

Spring is a fun time for flowers. Crocus and daffodils start peaking up out of the ground and trees start to blossom. It’s fun to see nature come back to life. I have been loving spring flowers this year. I got the most beautiful orange ranunculus a few weeks ago.  Ranunculus are in peak season in March. They opened up enormously and lasted well over a week, I was thrilled! They looked perfect in this vintage Fenton blue vase my husband’s grandma gave me–she got a set of these vases for her wedding in 1948!

Holiday Wreaths & Garlands: Place Your Order!

This year I am excited to do a fresh wreath and garland in my home for the holidays. While I love evergreen, I think boxwood wreaths are very classy and beautiful. I also really love the colors and texture of magnolia leaf wreaths–they have such a rich look to them.

Weddings Past: Melissa & Kevin

It has been months! Where does the time go?! I have been on a little flowers hiatus due to a busy exhausting day job, but now it’s time to get back to what I love. I did a few sneak peeks last summer but never showed you the final results, so I should probably do that!

Here are the professional photos of my cousin’s wedding shot by Ceebee. A huge thanks to CEEBEE for letting me share some of the photos with you.

In these arrangements: Garden roses, peonies, spray roses, scabiosa pods, stock, lamb’s ear, wax flower, dahlias, etc.

 

 

Sneak Peek: Soft Pinks and Blue Mason Jars

My cute cousin got married this weekend. While I was sad that it wasn’t a patriotic themed wedding, I thought her colors were beautiful! Here are a few iPhone shots:

Snapshot: White, Cream, Yellow, Grey

This is sneak peek of a bridal bouquet I did this week. I was so busy with work that I only thought about pictures while I was in the car on the way to deliver the flowers. The bride (Sarah) requested a mostly white and  cream bouquet with a lot of texture and a tiny bit of her colors –yellow and grey. As much as I prefer a bright, colorful bouquet, I loved the results of this one.In this arrangement: White peonies, cream patience roses, white ranunculus, dusty miller, silver brunia, white Japanese aster, white lisianthus, and yellow yarrow.

What I have been up to…sneak peek

This weekend my friends Lindsay and Gard got married. Her colors were mostly green and cream with a hint of yellow. Here are some of the centerpieces. I can’t wait to show you the rest of the flowers!
