My heart was so happy when Jenny decided upon this color palette. I was able to throw in some of my Cafe Au Laits that I had been dying to use. I can’t take credit for growing the beautiful roses but it’s coming, my list is growing daily 🤗

Thanks again Jenny for being so amazing. You looked absolutely beautiful!

The cold weather makes me miss these beauties. Every single delicate soft petal and rich colors

My sweet friend Jess was the very first person in my flower adventure to ask me to make her bridal bouquet and boutonnière. I never even thought about attempting a bouquet but super excited for the attempt. Jess was the most stunning bride and I was so thankful to be apart of her and Dakota’s special day ❤️
I was able to grow many of the flowers in Jess’s bouquet but did have to purchase some. With just starting out for my first year of growing and dabbling In designing I’m planning what kinds of flowers I need to grow next year to gear more towards weddings.

Deadheading my dahlias this evening and I have SOOO many beauties that are ready to go!

Anyone interested for the weekend? I can meet 🤗 $12 a bunch

Today I got the privilege of making 20 small arrangements and delivering them to the amazing and hardworking teachers of South River Elementary School.

As a mom of two little people in school, I’m beyond thankful for our educators. I can’t imagine the stress of being a teacher day to day much less overcoming our society/mentality of the present world. AND Covid. The love, happiness, and support these teachers bring to their students everyday is unmeasurable. I’m so thankful for all of you!

Thank you so much again Sarah for having such a big heart ❤️

It’s also been around 1998/99 since I last roamed those halls. So nice to visit 🤗

Come visit Saturday! 🌸

***Photo dump ALERT***

With being MIA the past week and getting some very much needed rain. The flowers are so much happier along with my heart ❤️

Good Tuesday morning 🌸

A few market bouquets are coming to the hospital this morning! Come visit and I’ll talk with you about our first LIVE event on Saturday!!!!

EXCITED is an understatement 🎉

What a dream come true!

All.Of.This.

Spent the evening going between the garden and my little flower studio, picking flowers and making arrangements while my mom organized my vase collection and we talked about personal growth. It was a pretty perfect evening!

I say this all the time. Flowers make people HAPPY, they make people SMILE. When you see flowers or are given flowers you get an inner warmness and joy! 💗

Finishing the Floret flower workshop has been one of the most inspiring things I have ever done. I’ve been working hard planting and starting all kinds of flowers and foliage.

Thanks for liking my page and I hope I can offer an abundance of beautiful flowers very soon! 🌸

Love,
💕Caity
