Flowers are shipped to us from around the world.  We’re often educated by wedding blogs and others in the industry about cutting costs by using local flowers and making sure we’re choosing flowers that are in season.  But because we’re able to source flowers from so many different places, the idea of what’s “in season” […]

Yesterday one of my favorite bouquets I’ve ever created was featured on Style Me Pretty, along with a whole other slew of talented ladies who love to create beautiful blooms, with beautiful hearts.  It was a reminder of spring, of the vibrancy, the color and the much needed refresh we all need in our life […]

We’ve downplayed the romance of roses.  I had yet another bride tell me that she isn’t a fan of roses.  While it’s not uncommon for me to hear, it is somewhat disheartening.  I can’t use ANY roses in your arrangements?  I think we’re sick of seeing tightly wound bunches sadly wrapped in cellophane, thrown together […]

 Photo: Heather Cisler Photography Yesterday was my birthday.  It wasn’t an exciting day, no one sang to me or gave me cake.  It was simply just another day reminding us that life moves forward whether we embrace it or not and no one can escape the aging process. Last month I was sitting with a […]

I was not going to do a year end post, I mean, do people even read these?  I don’t think it’s an original idea and I’m not sure that there’s a single person out there that truly cares what my year looked like.  But earlier this week I was going through some goals, figuring out […]

“We believe in the kingdom come, We believe in the risen Son, You bring our hearts to life.” This is the anthem that’s been ringing through my head this week.  And while this isn’t exactly a Christmas song, is it connected to the holiday theme.  It’s because of Christmas that we can sing this at […]

People tell me all the time how limited they feel when it comes to winter flowers.  It’s as if their imaginations just can’t see what’s not in bloom staring at them right in their face, or in their backyards.  Perhaps this attributes to the low number of winter weddings, sometimes you just have a hard […]

It was around this time back in 2011 that I had my first paid floral order.  It was a small order, 3 arrangements for a casual, catered dinner party.  Needless to say, I was excited. I researched and schemed.  I gathered information and I was going to make these arrangements be the most beautiful flowers […]

I have had a delightfully busy wedding season and have just one more gorgeous fête on the 2014 calendar.  Each celebration was so special and unique and I am so honored that so many brides have entrusted me to be a part of their special day.  However, I did something during this wedding season which […]

I’ve been working with Anchor & Ink on a new logo design for a couple months now.  Chelsi oozes talent – her painting, her lettering, it’s all simply fabulous. I approached her because I don’t feel my current logo, and complete branding/business for that matter, truly represent me.  Now I know I’ve rambled on before […]
