Let’s talk about passion. It’s the next thing I think we need to consider when comparing floral designers (in case you missed point #1 – pricing – you can read that here).

Photography: Katie Grace Photography | Floral Design: The Day’s Design Happy Engagement Season!  So cheesy, right?  But I read somewhere that nearly 40% of all proposals that take place each calendar year happen between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve.  And if that weren’t crazy enough, there’s another big burst ready to happen as soon as […]

Photography: Ashely Slater Photography / Floral Design:  The Day’s Design Wedding inquiries for me seem to go in spirts.  One week my inbox will be flooded and then I might have a drought for the next three.  And while I’d love to turn all those inquiries into clients, it just doesn’t happen – I’ve never […]

Photo by Eliza Jean Photography There’s this old way of thinking that some brides still fall prey to when it comes to choosing wedding colors.  Pick 2 colors that you like and that go together.  2 colors – that’s all you get.

We just sold our huge dining room set.  It was a solid maple Ethan Allen table which easily expanded to seat 10 people, along with a huge matching hutch.  It was pretty – but it wasn’t right for me.  It was so nice that I was scared to touch it and would panic every time […]
