Loving what happens when a garden is well watered, from actual rain. After a harsh winter and a dry start to Spring, these recent all day rain showers are making a big difference and everywhere I walked, I could see growth. What once looked dead now has signs of life with new green shoots appearing out of the dirt. Dead branches are sprouting tender green leaves. The dry ground is drinking up every drop. Amazing to watch nature rejuvenate before my eyes. Thankful for the Spring showers. 💚🌱💚🌿💚🍃💚

Posted • ✨ CEREMONIES ✨

your ceremony may be a short part of your wedding day, but it is the most sacred part of the day. This is where you legally, emotionally, and physically become husband & wife. Choosing and planning the details of your ceremony are very important. Things to consider:

• length of ceremony: I recommend no longer then 30 minutes, 20 if it is in the heat of the summer.

• vows: are you doing your own vows? Private or spoken for everyone to hear? There are many ways to incorporate your own vows into your wedding day, without saying them for everyone to hear.

• location: do you want your location to be seperate then your reception? If so, consider the time of day you do this at to ensure you leave enough time in between for photos, transportation, and delays.

• officiant: religious? Spiritual? Short n’ sweet???

Food for thought! 🥗🍕💭

Posted • Getting ENGAGED??

Planning an engagement is such an exciting time! Knowing you want to spend the rest of your life with the love of your life is so special. When it comes to proposing there is many ways to take make things happen smoothly:
Know Your Partner’s Preferences: Consider what your partner would love in terms of location, style, and atmosphere. Are they into grand gestures, or would they prefer something more private and intimate?
Choose the Right Ring: If you’re going with a traditional proposal involving a ring, make sure you know your partner’s ring size and style preferences. If you’re unsure, consider consulting with a close friend or family member for guidance.

Pick a Meaningful Location: Choose a location that holds significance for both of you. It could be where you first met, a favorite restaurant, a scenic spot, or even during a special trip.

Plan Ahead: Make sure to plan your proposal well in advance. This includes making reservations if needed, ensuring the ring is ready, and having a backup plan in case of unforeseen circumstances. Pro tip! Hire a planner!

Personalize the Moment: Incorporate personal touches into the proposal to make it unique and memorable. This could be through music, a heartfelt letter, or including something significant to your relationship.

Capture the Moment: Hiring a photographer and videographer. Having photos or a video will allow you to relive the special moment for years to come.

Celebrate Afterwards: Plan a celebration after the proposal to toast your engagement. It could be a dinner with family and friends or a private celebration just for the two of you.

ENJOY the MOMENT: Most importantly, savor the moment and enjoy the excitement of being engaged. It’s a special time in your relationship, so make the most of it together!

Even though the well below freezing temperatures make it feel NOT like Spring, the awakening daffodils are making it look like Spring. The p***y willows are also out blooming in agreement! Add in the sunshine and we are feeling the hope of the changing seasons. The meadow is getting its annual haircut this week and so the garden chores to get everything ready for visitors has begun! ❤️

Thank you to for gifting me a photo session in my gardens last year. You were so wonderful to work with as you guided me along, making this camera shy girl feel like a model. Highly recommend doing this every once in a while to document the journey you are on in your business or personal life. For me when I see photos from this session, I will always remember the flower garden I grew for my daughter’s July wedding which then evolved into a little flower farm, with me spending any spare moment tending to the blooms and then making and selling bouquets throughout the rest of the season. These photo memories will be fun to look back on one day, to remember the joy I felt in my flower garden on that autumn afternoon.

Posted • Another sneak into what I’ve got in the works!! Any guesses? ❤️

Also, a tip for all you ladies and gents out there who have been putting off photos for years…… if you’re anything like me, you put it off because of confidence, or lack there of, being in front of a camera. It terrifies me, truly! Well, here’s a little info for you - the confidence comes from DOING it! I help you plan, coordinate outfits- put you in touch with great hair and makeup artists if you’re on board with that. That process gets you feeling a little more confident. Then you shoot, and during that process you get more and more confident. Then guess what happens?! You receive the photos, and think- well, s**t! I look GOOD!!! That’s another boost. Then, when you share them on your social media, or with friends, or on the walls of your home… more confidence again. ( this just so happened with the beautiful , who I photographed on her property last fall;)

I PROMISE you that although the thought is scary, the process and rhetoric end results are worth it a thousand times over. Now- go call your photographer and start planning!! ❤️

January Rain is the name of this song (from the Serendipity movie) and it so suits the feeling of this rainy January day. There is a peacefulness in the misty gardens with raindrops falling on snow, melting it slowly away. 💙🤍💙🤍💙 #januaryrain #serendipitysoundtrack #moviesongs #rain #meltingsnow #sanctuarygardens #sanctuarygardenswedding #wintergarden

Saving seeds for a garden in the future. 🌸🌺🌼🌸🌺🌼 #seedsaver #gardenseeds #futuregarden #gardenplans #flowerseeds

It started quite innocently with some packets of seeds that bloomed into a flower filled summer. I have always loved flowers because I love gardening and they are part of the landscape… but this year I discovered flowers as a way of creating art with them. I didn’t know this about myself. I didn’t know I could find such joy in the simple pleasure of growing, gathering and bouquet making. I didn’t know I had the patience for the care of taking each bloom one by one and putting them together to make them into a colourful expression and extension of me. I didn’t know but now I do. Never too old as they say… 🌺🌸🌼💐

Last summer, I saved seeds from one favourite zinnia that popped up in the flower garden. When I planted the seeds in the spring, I didn’t realize that I would get such a mish mash of bloom colours and shapes depending on what the bees pollinated from and to. What a lovely surprise it was to see some of my favourite soft blush/cream/white colours appear in my garden. I began researching how to save my favourites and here is a reel showing some of my attempts to isolate and get seeds from the ones I love… which I plan to then plant next year… and perhaps share with other gardeners wanting this Sanctuary selection. I’m in love once again with flowers… 🌸🌺🌼 #flowergarden #flowerbreeder #sanctuaryblooms #sanctuarygardens #sanctuarylife #zinniabreeding #zinnia #zinniasofinstagram

First week of June 🌸 #sanctuarygardens #june #junegarden #spring

Cool breeze, warm sun, Spring is in the air. 🌼💛 #sanctuarygardens

Looking forward to all that Spring brings! 🌼🌼🌼 Daffodil Hill update… they are popping up everywhere and it should be a good show this April! Can’t wait! #sanctuarygardens #sanctuarygardenswedding #springgarden

Winter has its beauty, its hibernating calmness. The transition to Spring is being felt with each day getting longer, a little warmer. No sign of any daffodils peeking through the earth yet. In past years, they have started already but this year, February was colder, darker. I patiently wait for each new sign that the garden is waking up… checking daily in anticipation. ❤️ #sanctuarygardens #wintergarden #waitingforspring
