Jessica has freelanced with me for a couple years now and is a flower lover herself.  I’ve been somewhat desperate for someone plan a late winter, early spring wedding because of the stunning variety of blooms available this time of year.  So when Jessica became a client AND she planned a mid-March wedding, it made […]

First off, I need you to take a look at this gorgeous scenery… These are the views that would surround Shelby and Paul’s guests, making them fall in love with this wedding day even more.  And as a designer, I couldn’t imagine creating something that could complete with this natural beauty. I knew this would […]

Olivia’s bouquet was to be completed after what had already been a full week of flowering.  It was an unbearably hot day in the middle of July and I was feeling the burn – quite literally.  I don’t like leaving such an important piece until the end of the day but unfortunately in this instance, […]

Yesterday I received the most amazing flower order.  I think I literally squealed when I opened the box – they were knock-your-socks-off pretty, oh my!  And even though I’m the one that placed the order, it’s still like Christmas when they arrive.  I don’t always remember exactly what’s in the box or sometimes I just […]

Back in the snow and gloom of January I had an idea.  Valentine’s Day would quickly be approaching and it’s a day that always calls for some gorgeous blooms.  However, sometimes these mounds of perfectly placed, symmetrical and classic roses need a little extra love – ferns and baby’s breath can only do so much.  […]
