Photography: Weber Photography | Cake: The Cakabakery | Floral Design: The Day’s Design Last week kicked off the start of my wedding season.  I haven’t unpacked all my boxes yet from the move, my studio space isn’t anywhere near being set up and it was my biggest wedding of the entire year.  I had knots […]

There was a wedding I worked last summer at a beautiful new venue.  It was owner operated and so I would also call her the venue coordinator.  We talked about a ton of plans before hand and she had quite a few “particulars” that were musts on her lists to keep her venue in pristine […]

It makes me feel […]

It’s now the time of year when I’m wrapping up wedding season, summer days have gone by and I’ve started to embrace that cozy late autumn (and even Christmas!!) mindset.  My flipflops have been traded for tall boots and my t-shirts have all been tucked away.  At the same time, I’m chatting with brides who […]

Photography: Katy O’Dell Photography I’m often asked to detail all the flowers clients will see at their wedding – outline for them each little bloom. I don’t do that. And it’s not because I’m afraid of them stealing my floral recipe or divulging my deep dark secrets, it’s really because I don’t know. It’s that […]

Price – Passion – Experience I think these are the main three things that set floral designers apart from one another.  So I’m putting together a little miniseries about addressing these different ideas and how you should choose your wedding florist… or at least some things to consider during the decision making process. And since […]
