Throwback to this gorgeous fall wedding from last year. The breathtaking changing leaves transition helps me reflect and prepare for the upcoming winter months. I’m soaking up any last bit of sunshine and warmer weather while we have it.

It’s been a great weekend, filled with two beautiful weddings and I’m reflective.
We’re hitting the home stretch of our 2024 season (two to go!) and I’m feeling so so grateful for an incredible year. We’ve been able to work with the best couples, families, venues, vendors, and flowers! It never ceases to amaze me that this little business is able to forge such great connections and create beautiful moments. It’s truly a dream.

Will I see you in two weeks at the Love Grows Garden Gala? The garden gala supports , a full-time, tuition-free, wraparound preschool program that serves students and families who are 200% below the Federal Poverty Line.

We’ve had such an incredible experience with our two boys at and I love supporting the Love Grows Program so other kids can have the same great early education experience.

The gala is a great night out with delicious food and drinks, a fun live auction, and other interactive giving experiences. Hope to see you there!

Delicate and dainty bouquets are some of my favorites. Casey’s bridal had a million little stems of lily of the valley and tweedia, while her bridesmaids were designed with sweet peas and feverfew.

Happy spring weather has my endorphins on high. I’m so grateful we didn’t have a deep freeze this spring and all the trees and blooms are shining.

The moment, and the details.

Anna and Brad’s wedding was filled with the sweetest whimsical garden florals. I loved incorporating delicate local blooms like the cosmos and delphinium with English garden roses.

April showers bring lots of flowers, right? Reminding myself that bright and bold blooms are right around the corner from these rainy days.

Popping in to show my face today and chat about a few super random things on my mind:

I’ve quickly become obsessed with The Traitors. I started watching last week and am all caught up. It’s the perfect mix of drama and fun and it keeps me laughing the whole show. I’m not a theory person, so I can’t guess who will win, but I really enjoy watching.

Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari is blowing my mind. Am I a Ferrari fan now? I don’t know. I do still love Carlos and Toto so I need to see how this all shakes out.

I watched Mission Impossible 38 on the way to Lisbon a couple of weeks ago and it was phenomenal. I couldn’t stop talking about it. The motorcycle cliff jump? *chefs kiss*

And to keep it tangentially related to flowers, my hellebores are starting to bloom and I can spy my tulip leaves popping up. Spring blossoms are my favorite time of year. Fingers crossed we don’t have to deal with another late freeze; I want to enjoy the blooming branches as much as possible.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading my stream of consciousness. I promise I’ll get my flower focused next month when our 2024 wedding season kicks off!

I loved these “tree” centerpieces for Maddie and Mike’s December wedding. We wanted to appropriately compliment the season without veering into Christmas territory. The camellia branches were the perfect foliage and the hanging votives and taper candles on the head table brought out all the romantic and intimate vibes.
