I often have brides ask me to design wildflower bouquets. There are many wildflowers that don’t hold up well out of water so I like to use a combination of sturdy wildflowers and commercial blooms that have a wildflower look. This bouquet had wild tansy and yarrow, which gave it an herbal, earthy smell. Combined with lemony wax flower and mondial roses - it made for a fragrant bouquet!
It’s a short season for Alaska, but the dahlias are absolute perfection! This bouquet is headed out to Hope.
Today’s elopement couple is from Texas and the bride loved her bouquet with the sweetest little yellow spray roses!
Of the hundreds of bridal bouquets I’ve made over the years, this is the first one to contain irises. I love how it turned out!
I am in love with this red and rose gold combination!
This adorable bouquet is heading to Homer for an elopement tomorrow. I loved making faux anemones with carnations and button mums.
Sometimes when I design a bridal bouquet I get this little sizzle of excitement that sends a message to my brain that I nailed it. I got that feeling with this bouquet that’s heading out for an elopement today. The Playa Blanca roses mixed with thryptomene calycina and thistle gives this bouquet so much lovely texture!
This bouquet went on a skiing elopement adventure yesterday so it needed to be made with durable ingredients. I included lots of hardy greenery and flowers so it would last all day!
It’s always fun to go big with florals, but I actually prefer to go small! Here’s a sweet little design in an iris mug by Emerson Creek Pottery
It’s that time of year where solstice is upon us and all I want to do is sit by the fireplace, knit and listen to Christmas carols. I spent my childhood singing in choirs so classical carols are very nostalgic to me. My favorites are “Bring a Torch, Jeanette Isabella,” and “Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming.” What is your favorite holiday tune?
The Fairview is one of my favorites. Designed in a teacup, it’s the perfect splash of color for anyone’s space!
